... The grass is the region is good and there is usually a good supply of water.... When they applied for a post office in 1901 they found that the names "Marcelina" and "Jonesville" had already been taken....

Interesting. And Jonesville is a planned stop for the group ride for this years Caddo Lake sidecar rally.

Sidenotes: Her father was T.J. (Thomas Jefferson) Taylor. When I as a child, we lived/raised cattle on land leased from the T.J. Taylor Estate -- just down the road from the "Bird House" as I called it. We have a roll-top desk inherited from my father that he acquired from the T.J. Taylor store just before its demolition in the 1970's.

Where to next BAH?
