In it are Joyce MANNING and our BROWN cousin, Bob MANNING.  Joyce was signing my copy of Yoakum Community The

First Hundred Years 1887-1987 published by the Yoakum Sesquicentennial/Centennial Book Committee which Joyce chaired.

Rancher Jane [Bob's wife]

It was very cloudy yesterday and rained last night. But, it is sunny now. We are headed back out there now. You can Selah's

footstone in this photo.

Mysterious Footstone: The attached photo was taken with my iPhone in backwards mode (i.e. photographing toward me

rather than away from me).  The dark area in the photo is part of one of my brush-clearing-pants legs. I could not get to the

front of this, at least not yet.  I saw it as I was raking at the edge of a thick thicket of briars.  I chalked it from behind by

reaching into the briars; then, I took a reverse photo of it.

land grant and the old EDGAR family cemetery. Bluebonnets under the sign. Great day in DeWitt County, TX!

It was still alive on this photo, but not for long. This was not a catch and release situation. Crew leader Gallacious Garcia

holding young snake he caught; Joel Jackson looking on. Joel has been here working all day, and his wife, Susan, just arrived.

She is very nice and is very interested in the cemetery.

cemetery to see her grave, and his first time in Texas since 1967.
