Correction and Addition- I said Conroe this A.M. I meant Jasper. When you stay in Camp Polk over a year (La, ) all the cities near Orange blend together. Concerning Bradford- I go to church in Hewitt with a Bob Bradford- he is a Deacon, was at Western Heights church in Waco before Hewitt. He is a Gideon, I think He , since retirement drives Hearses and is a part time Funeral host. His wife is retired from Waco School. Will see him tomorrow and give him your note. Now . for Double Mountains, if you mean the Double Mountains in Fisher and/or neighboring county- between Albany and Snyder, Between Roby and Sweetwater which give the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos, it is not in Erath County, but the Erath County sheriff and Rev. John R. Baylor and his Central Texas Rangers (Sometimes bordering on Vigilante action), in another group, not with the sheriff, led posses past Snyder to the Caprock before counties west of Erath were organized. If you meant Twin Peaks at Willow Springs between Walnut Springs and Meridian, both were RR Towns- that is Bosque County. Erath Records for a year or so after leaving Waco - McLennan County office Many Wyly & Hatchett marriages and land records bear McClennan and/or Bosque County, depends on the year. If anyone knows of any other Double Mountains named so in West Central Texas, please let me know. Am beginning to suspect there was a time when Erath marriages were kept in Bosque County as counties organized- one of Eugene Wyly's kids (dead now), said he married Loudelia Bateman in Breckenridge. His granddaughter found records in Erath County. marriages records. Confused yet" I am.
