Tx Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Orange?read=115 Surname: VIDOR ------------------------- You should contact Orange County Publishing Company, the owner of the Vidor Vidorian (newspaper). It is located on Bolivar Street in Vidor, Texas. Phone number is 409-769-5428. They have articles on this subject from way back (I used to work there). King Vidor (the movie producer) made a trip through Vidor many years ago. I believe he was in a parade during his visit. It's been a while since I read the article, but I believe there is a picture of him. If I'm not mistaken, King Vidor's father was a partner in the Miller-Vidor Lumber Company. That's where the town's name came from. Hope this helps.
