Garton

Minnie's family: William Mark Garton and Martha Ellen (Cornell) Garton
According to Aunt Millie:
We moved from Hollis, OK and arrived in Amherst, TX on January 1, 1924. We used 2 covered wagons and a flat-bed.
We were supposed to have a 3-bedroom house waiting for us in Amherst. When we got there, there was only a sucker-rod sticking in the ground. It was 1 mile east of the depot on the highway.
Pa Bill had also traded for a paperd horse in Red River. When he went to bring the horse back, the horse had run through a fence and had to wait 2 weeks for the horse to heal.

Diary

Mae Garton's Diary. The first entry was January 1, 1932, and the last entry was March 25, 1932.
The diary was given to me by Aunt Millie somewhere around 2000.
I believe this was the time period that Minnie and Mae had the cafe in Canyon, TX.
There is a PDF copy of the diary in this folder. You can download and browse at your convenience.
Here's a bit of proof that Minnie was a bit of a rounder.
