I do not know what the Cotton Palace was in 1918. I have a carnival glass fruit bowl that my uncle won for his sister at the Cotton Palace. I think it might have been an amusement park. I found a map in a 1996 Waco phone directory. Cotton Place Park is bordered by Clay, South 12th, Dutton and South 15th. It appears that Burnett. Ross. and Cleveland go to the park and stop at the park then continue on the other side. The tornadoes of 1953 blew down what I believe was the last remaining building of the old Cotton Palace. As a recall it appeared to have been a stage with a tall strucure behind it. When the tornadoes came through town, I think it wass being used as dressing rooms for the swimming pool. When it came down the debris fell into the pool. One of my schoolmates, I think his name was Billie Beatros was killed in the pool. Hope helps.

My cousin tells me that our Grandfather did soldiers' laundry in the big wash pot in the washhouse (later a garage) at their home at 1706 So. 1st St there in Waco.

Hello Teresa, Somehow I must have missed the post. I would be interested in that and as much history of Waco & area that is available. Tidbits of history of that timeframe gives one insight in what our ancestors life was like. RHarris Carolina rh128212@aol.com
Sorry ~~~~~ Should read all before sending, To make sure check laws in ""ALL"" states you might go to. This will insure your safety, by law. TXBOSQUE-L@rootsweb.com It does apply to TX and TX has set aside two days a year for visitation days to cemeteries that need care. The property owners are subject to the law if they refuse entry. http://www.rootsweb.com/~txstc/bridge/PRNTGUID.HTML The web site above tells about the rights and obligations of the visitor. donna Remember, amateurs created the ark, and professionals made the Titanic.

Hi Teresa, I, like many others, enjoyed reading your work and appreciated your effort. I too, looked for my ancestors and enjoyed the quotes. It is this type of work that brings our ancestors to life and gives us insight into their character. Keep up the good work! You have my vote! Montea Allison Stewart

Such postings as Treasures and the Cook Book bring warmth to facts and figures. Thanks for all of your work, Teresa. I am sure that those who do not agree will, in time, realize that we are not researching just the bones... but people made up of meat and muscle... whose very blood flows in our veins. If the post breathes life into the unexplored past or just awakens my own... it enriches my life... and hopefully those of posterity who may come across these records at some later date. Elaine
I<< Teresa >> You can't please every one. For me, I learned not only names but places and sometime pic and lots of history I didn't know. It helps to know why people moved and to where. What they may be part of making. It all has to fit in or you lose something. If people don't like what you send they can delete it.

Hi Teresa. As you know, I usually am quite and just read but......you are doing a good job--theres always got to be people that don't get it! Genealogy and History are hand in hand. I read everything you emailed and looked madly for some of my kin--didn't find any but because I didn't find any didn't make me want to run the effort down--BEcause I'm sure there are those that found their relatives. Got anything on Columbus Ave. Methodist Church?? :>) Looking for Charity Huggins, her daughter Rachel Owen Huggins Norris, her husband William and William Gaston Huggins. Remember--you have a good group going and you ARE doing a good job. Thank you for all your efforts.

I found, in the Northern Lights,,,a saying in print from my deceased mother in law, My husband was pleased..keep up the good work...This is genealogy.. and it tells us,,she was in Waco in, 1951 Melinda in VA
Teresa.... You always properly placed the subject of the submission on the subject line before sending. I have been following this list long enough to know what Northern Light and Treasures submissions are about. Maybe Lacy could just delete the information when she sees it in her email?

Okay, I found another 'treasure', but not fr. my great-grand or grandmother's things. This is one that came from some sale somewhere long time ago. I have no ties to St. John's Methodist, now a part of Central United Methodist as they merged several years ago. This was put out by the Friendship Class in 1948. No one I am kin to attended the church, to my knowledge. Mom had two copies of this and she kept the best one. It is possible these names won't mean a thing to anyone. Then again, one might. The recipes may just sound too delicious not to try. Then again, someone may find that long lost family recipe that had gotten misplaced over the years. There is alot of advertising inside. Many businesses now gone. But perhaps one or two will tweak a memory or two. Maybe you'll recognize a name of a favorite place or remember the name that you had forgotten because it shows up here. I will transcribe a few pages at a time, just as I did with 'Treasured Thoughts' and 'The Northern Light'. I'll put spelling corrections as I catch them in (paranthesis) Bon Appetit!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The cover is green with an illustration of chubby chef in complete uniform.

Page 4, the last page SPORTS "EAGLES TRY FOR ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP" The Eagles after a long practice session started off by playing two practice games with the State Home team and winning both of these games by a score of 13-0. They started the conference by playing Central in Temple. North was nosed out 7-0. This was a hard fought fame, but Central had a fast T that North could not keep up with. North has also played another game which was with East. North won this game by a score of 14-0. after a slow first half North came back in the last half to score two touchdowns. Jimmy Wood did outstanding running in both games. Both touchdowns in the east game were made by Jimmy Wood. Harry Clair and Bill Montgomery were in on most of the tackles. The starting for the games were as follows; ends, Harry Clair, George Marlow, Eddie Parson; tackles, Bill Montgomery, Charley Bailey; guards, Albert Levy, Schuler Nelson, Leroy Lewis; centers, Elmer Donaldson, Lee Harrington; backs, Jack Jordon, Alton Boles, Joe Bob Gough, Jimmy Phipps, Joe Lee Stokes. The rest of the squad is as follows: Leo Bradshaw, Jim Pate, James Balch, Allen Lavender, Eldon Brigance, Douglas MacArthur, Jack Douglas, John Zemanek, David Meers, John Savage, Billy Slauter, Paul Dickson, C.B. Johnson, James Moran, Fred Michel, Jerry Harris, James Sewell, Dan Horne, Jimmy Schrade, Hubert Bateman, Charlie Bennett, Jerry Holley, Mickey Walker, Neil Pack and L.D. Harding. South's game was rained out. ____________________________________ THE EAGLES NEST Sixty-six boys came for football this season. Mr. Price started late in August to get his team in shape for a tough season-as a result the team is in good shape. The one letter man back from last year's team which won Central Texas Championship is Albert Levy, who is back at guard fighting to help bring the team in first place. Three new players who are on the starting team are Billy Montgomery, 9B from Speegleville; Eddy Parson, 9B from West Junior; Henry Thompson, 9A from East Junior. They are proving to be some of North's best players. To prove that brains are just as evident in football as brawn, two first string men have written football ballads in 9B English that have received worthy comment. They are End and Tackle, Bill Montgomery and Harry Clair. It seems that "fancy" Jack Jordon, first string quarterback for the Eagles brings luck to our team by wearing a red shirt before every game. Rumor says he didn't wear it before the Central game which we lost 7-0. What about it, Mr. Jordon? Mr. Price has learned from bitter experience not to trust even his Managers (Woodrow McCasland, Bubba Hulke, Robert Jacobs, and Tommy Abbott) too far. That is-to the extent of being custodians of his fried chicken supper. They proved themselves, on the way to Temple, to be fast and furious chicken eaters. _____________________________ It is more true to say that our opinions depend on our lives and habits, than to say that our lives and habits depend on out opinions. -F.W.
