Personal Notes:
Waddell and Elsie Thurman lived across the road from the church and parsonage in Gober, Texas. Waddell came to the girls' rescue when a big bull snake came out of the cotton patch on to the sidewalk in front of the church where they were riding bikes. Elsie was a wonderful cook and this is her Christmas Cake.
