Hey All! I was approached today about the possibility of doing a photographic history of Terrell. I am looking for any images of your ancestors and other historic images to submit and also include in the book. If you choose to submit, please include your name, location of photo if known, who and/or what is in your photo, and the year. Images should not be newer than 1960 and the older the better. If chosen, it may be necessary to have the original picture which I've been told will be returned. The reason is because they want to get the best resolution they can. I appreciate any help. Thank You for your time. Sincerely, Donna Clemmons-Allen Lewis Tom Clemmons Descendant

The TTC will roughly parallel the current I-35 and could be located in this county. Currently a 10 mile wide path and an alternate path are being studied to determine final placement of the corridor. There will be a public hearing Terrell ISD Performing Arts Center, 400 Poetry Rd. on July 19, 2006. The hearing will begin with an open house at 5 p.m. so that residents can review maps of the preferred corridor alternative and ask questions of highway department staffers. The presentation and oral comments begin at 6:30 p.m. TxDOT is asking for input from citizens about the location of historical sites and family cemeteries among other information. Those of you doing research in this county know far more about the local and family historical sites than anyone else. You have an important chance to share your expertise with TxDOT by attending one of their meetings or completing a comment form.
