San Saba
I recently saw someone ask what was in San Saba that his distant
relative would have gone there for. If Im not mistaken, it was in
San Saba, I saw, a few blocks from town, the old railroad tracks,
and there was the most beautiful abandoned hotel right next to the
tracks, and across the street the most beautiful marble fronted
deserted bank building. Truely romantic and enchanting. I dont know
what it is about Texas, but what a place!!!!! - John Dean, July

Co Wisdom
of Brady, Texas
I came across quotations by “Co Wisdom” of Brady
in your website under the towns of Fredonia
and Voca along with a photograph of
a drug store as it appeared in the late 19th century. Hopefully
you can forward my e-mail to the person submitting those quotations.
According to an article in the book “Indian Depredation in Texas”
by J.W. Wilbarger, published in 1889 my great grandfather Captain
John Roch (Roach) of Comanche was attacked and wounded by Indians
in 1866 on a trip from San Saba to Comanche. According to the article
he had gone to San Saba to lay in supplies for the coming winter.
What was in San Saba to cause it to be a source of food and provisions
in the 1860’s? What was the San Saba mill? Do you have other photos
of buildings in are around San Saba dated in the 19th Century? Thanks.
