Historic Pickup Tour

My cousin Elmarie and her daughter Tamela came to visit a couple of weeks ago. I took them on the standard family tour of Cotton County. I showed them the farm where Tamela’s grandmother Frances and my father Schular lived when our granddaddy died in a tractor accident. I showed them where the family lived when they retired from farming in 1923. We also visited the cemetery. Elmarie is my first cousin, but we were brought up like she was a sister sometimes. All the family and the cousins got together regularly. This is how the place looked in 1973.
