southwest of Tulia. Then, only one other family, Mr. and Mrs. G. F.
Tomlinson, had a home that far west of town. My parents lived on their
claim the required time; the land was declared theirs, and they bought
an adjoining section at $1.00 per acre. Their home was improved, a
small field was fenced, and a pasture enclosed to keep a few cows
and horses at home. All the country around them was unfenced. Materials for building had to be hauled on wagons from Amarillo. Many times the early settlers went below the Caprock to obtain cedar posts to use for economical fencing or for firewood. Some of such crooked posts and sticks can be found in our home fence lines today. From 1896-1910, families came to make their homes in the area. Hardships were usual experiences. It was indispensable service to be able to help each other through the worst of them. Reciprocal |
