Oh here is a bit of neat news:
Mollie had an uncle who move to Hunt co., TX. He kept writing what a wonderful place it was so Jim sold his place in Mantachie Miss., and arrived in Texas by train Aug 25, 1900. He raised his family on a farm 12-15 miles from Wolfe City, Hunt Co, TX until 1926 then moved to Waco TX area. The family lived in Leonard. After a terrible bout with typhoid fever, they lost one child age 7, so Jim & Molly moved to Waco where they ran a small dairy and Molly had chickens.
