Meanderings
by Frederica Wyatt
In the hurry and scurry of
activities preceding Christmas,
it is easy to overlook other
happenings along the way.
December 21 will mark the
Winter Solstice or the first day
of Winter. The “Cold Moon”
will be at its best, and a complete Lunar Eclipse will be an
occurrence to behold.
My condolences are extended to families who have
recently lost their loved ones.
Funeral services were held
Thursday morning for Arturo
Barragan, Jr., whose accidental and tragic death occurred
Tuesday, December 7. He was
laid to rest in the cemetery in
Northeast Junction.
The cemetery, originally
known as “Campo Santo”,
dates back to 1920 when
land was purchased from the
late Tomas Perez and deeded to County Judge Coke R.
Stevenson in his official capacity. First person buried there
was Refugia Valdez Willis,
who died March 8, 1920.
Elaine Neisemier lost her
mother, Katherine Matthews
Smith, on Friday, December
10. Services were Monday
morning, December 13, in Del
Rio.
Word has been received of
the passing of Howard Hight of
Odessa. He was the son of the
late R. V. and Rozelle Brady
Hight. Ginger Boerm Andrews
posted the death notice on the
Pearl family website and sent
me a copy.
With sadness, I read of the
death of Laura Mercer of
Junction on Sunday, December
12. She was a dear lady, and
in time past, was a member
of Kimble County Historical
Commission.
Among out-of-state visitors at Kimble Historical
Museum during the week were
Paul and Judy McDonald of
Fort Collins, Colorado. Paul
is the son of the late Kellis
McDonald, who was a member of the outstanding Junction
High School 1921 football
team. He was the nephew of
local resident, the late Carl M.
Wolf.
We contacted Lenore Riley
Mudge, who – accompanied
by Gayle Simon – dropped by
for some quality reminiscing
with the McDonalds.
Billy and Billie Baugh
Chenault visited our historical
facility and purchased copies
of both volumes of Families of
Kimble County.
The museum’s building
committee is grateful to Dr.
Robert Carpenter of Kerrville
and Esther Lehmann of Mason,
who each donated their honorariums received for speaking
engagements at meetings of
Daedalion Study Club. Linda
Johnston, treasurer of the club,
presented us with the monetary
donations.
Bobby and Nancy Sloan of
Midland were Junction visitors Saturday. They brought a
veteran’s marker for the grave
of the late Jess W. “Charlie”
Johnson.
Another who came our way
was Sandra Wapelhorst of
Brownwood, who brought a
memorial marker for her son,
the late Bryan Lange. Sandra
“Sandy” is the daughter of
Kenneth and Lorena Collier
Williams.
Jayme Baugh Jendrusch,
daughter of Jimmy and Jeri
Logan Baugh of Falls City,
registered at the historical
museum while she was in town
on a recent day. Her dad was
visiting in the Junction home
of his other daughter, Jody
Baugh. The family, including Patsie Baugh Johnston
of Junction, was planning to
attend the weekend State football playoffs, as Jim Ed Baugh
(son of Jimmy and Jeri) is
coach for one of the winning
teams.
Tai Kreidler, Executive
Director of West Texas
Historical Association sent an
invitation to me to present a
paper for a session at the April
1-2, 2011, annual meeting of
WTHA to be held in Lubbock.
We had briefly discussed the
matter when we were among
attendees at the Edwards
Plateau Historical Association
meeting in October. I do not
plan to attend the Lubbock
meeting, but Pete Rose of
Telegraph/Austin has offered
to participate in the session.
With the dawning of the
new year of 2011, events of
one hundred and seventy-five
years ago will be foremost
in the thoughts of state-wide
historians. Texas became a
Republic and a nation of its
own in 1836 after many battles and sacrifices. It is well to
remember the men and women
of that era.
Among local friends who
crossed my pathways during
the week were Janet Jones,
Jean Froneberger, Ronald
Sutton, Josefa Martinez, and
Eileen Russo. Along the way,
I caught a glimpse of both John
Paul Henderson and Catherine
Watson.
Jack Townsend was accompanied by his mother, Diane,
on another trip to the museum.
Previously, the Townsends
were at the historical facility with Wyatt Burton and his
mom, Missy. Both Jack and
Wyatt are busily completing
work on their “Pathfinders”
scout badge.
A telephone call arrived from
Bobby Bowers of Eldorado,
and I enjoyed visiting with
him.
Frida Carron, the Wesley
nurse based at First United
Methodist Church, was guest
speaker at Junction Rotary
Club. She was introduced by
Linda Hash, wife of the Rotary
program chair for the week.
The program was most interesting and contained information concerning the work
of the Methodist Healthcare
Ministries of South Texas.
The health services are open to
all faiths and are free.
Steve Bowen, administrator
at Kimble Hospital, is transferring his membership to
Junction from the Jacksonville
Rotary Club.
Frontier Guards, Sons
of Confederate Veterans,
met Saturday in the Annex
at College Street Church of
Christ and installed new officers and inducted a new member, Jay W. Taylor of Harper.
Incoming officers for the
local Camp include Ronald
Simmons, Commander; Joe
Ryan Andrews, 1st Lieutenant
Commander; Gaylan Harrison,
2nd. Lt. Cdr.; Chap Traylor,
Adjutant; Cecil D. Conner,
Treasurer;
Roy
Lower,
Chaplain; Sergeant at Arms,
Jimmy Weaver; Kevin Bowers,
Quartermaster; and Ronald
Sutton, Judge Advocate. The
local Camp has a membership of thirty-six descendants
of Confederate veterans.
During the meeting, I was
presented one of the first Lucy
Pickens Awards, the highest honor given by the Texas
Division, SCV. The award
is named for Lucy Pickens,
known as the “Queen of the
Confederacy”. The award,
consisting of a certificate
and a medal with ribbon, is
inscribed “in recognition of
the values, exceptional character, spirit, and determination
which distinguishes the true
Southern belle.” Only nine of
the new honors were bestowed
in Texas 2010, and in subsequent years, only one recipient will be named each year.
I am honored and humbled
to receive the award, complete with a beautiful shadow box. Making the presentation was Gaylan Harrison,
and the certificate was duly
acknowledged and signed by
Kimble County’s own, Dr.
Ray James of College Station,
who serves as Department
Commander. Thank you, Sons
of Confederate Veterans!
Following the program, a
Christmas lunch was served to
the SCV members by Margaret
Gaver, Billie Meckley, Joleta
Traylor, Lula McDonald, and

The
Zookeeper’s
Wife
By Diane Ackerman
Jan and Antonina Zabinski
were zookeeper’s at the zoo in
Warsaw, Poland, in the 30’s
and 40’s. They, along with
their son, Rys, lived in a house
at the zoo.
Antonina especially enjoys
the animals and taking care
of the orphan animals. They
seem to love her, too.
In 1939, Germany invades
Poland. Eventually, the
German army comes to
Warsaw, destroying much of
the zoo. However, Jan and
Antonina continue taking care
of the remaining animals, the
Warsaw people and the Jews
in hiding.
This is a true story that uses
Antonina’s diaries and newspaper clippings to tell her
story, her family’s story and
the people around them.

Katherine Mathews Smith
A graveside service for
Katherine Mathews Smith
was held at 11 a.m. Monday,
December 13, 2010, in Del Rio,
Texas, at Westlawn Cemetary.
She was born November 23,
1916, in Lampasas, Texas,
and was the daughter of
Bessie Beatrice Smithwick
Mathews and Richard Worth
Mathews who both died in the
flu epidemic of 1918, before
Katherine was two. She was
raised by her beloved grandparents, “Big Mama”, Donna
Kalla Alabama Howard
Smithwick, and “Big Papa”,
Thomas Jefferson Smithwick.
She met W.B. “Red” Smith
at Central Christian Church
in Lampasas while he was
with the Civilian Conservation
Corp, building roads and bridges outside of Lampasas. They
were married on September
15, 1936, on a day when it
was raining cats and dogs!
Katherine moved with Red to
Del Rio and embraced his large
extended family of Smiths and
those who descended from the
Bochats, who were early settlers of Del Rio. They had
three children, David Worth
born before World War II,
Richard Dale and Katherine
Elaine born after the war.
They lived at the CPL Steam
Plant community until 1954
when they moved to a home
outside of Del Rio. Katherine
always said that she had a
wonderful life and that life
with Red was never dull.
Ranching throughout their
marriage, they spent lots of
time looking for the next rain!
They were married almost 67
years when Red passed into
eternity April 7, 2003. There
has not been one day that she
has not longed for him.
Katherine was a very strong
Christian who loved Jesus.
She was always involved with
her church, First Christian
of Del Rio, teaching Sunday
school, working with Christian
Women’s Fellowship and
helping to bake for the church
bazaar each year.
She also reached out to those
in need. As Red grew older, he
wanted to go back to the church
of his youth, so Katherine’s
last years were spent enjoying
St. James Episcopal Church
where she found many friends,
both old and new.
She was always active in her
children’s lives in Cub Scouts,
Boy Scouts, Brownies, and
Girl Scouts, as well as 4-H and
school activities. She loved
football weekends when there
were three games to accomplish . . . the Wildcats, Tarleton
State and Texas A&M.
She was a member of the
Mignonette Garden Club,
A&M Mother’s Club and Del
Rio Porcelain Art Club. She
was a homemaker, with a gift
of hospitality, who loved to
cook.
Katherine is survived by all
her children; her sons, David
and wife, Leigh, of Manhattan,
Kansas; Richard and wife, Beth
Ann, of Brackettville and her
daughter, Elaine and favorite
son-in-love, Gary Neisemier.
She is also survived by an
honorary son, Walter Wilson
and wife, Nancy, of Rochester,
Minnesota.
Katherine
thoroughly
enjoyed
her
grandchil-
dren, who all survive her,
Cameron Mathew Smith and
wife, Kristen, of Austin and
College Station, Richard Dale
Smith, Jr. of Ft. Worth, Brent
Patrick Smith of Lubbock, and
Ashley Michelle Smith of San
Antonio, Jay Garrett Neisemier
and wife, Darla, of College
Station and Anna Katherine
Neisemier of College Station.
She was blessed to have four
great-grandchildren. Jay and
Darla’s son, Jay Wyatt and
daughter, Jolie Ray Neisemier
who continued to bring her
pleasure and a smile in her last
days, Dale’s daughter, Shiloh
Hope Smith and Cameron
and Kristen’s daughter who is
expected in April of 2011.
Katherine is also survived
by cousins Jeanette Smithwick
Ross, Regina Smithwick
Spencer,
and
Kerlene
Smithwick Ross as well as
special niece and nephew by
marriage, Doris Hunt and Don
Worley.
Her first friend in Del Rio
was Dorothy Nell Medlock,
who she met in 1936.
Katherine always liked to hear
her play the piano at Memo’s
on Fridays with her friends
Evelyn Lee, Alice Voss and
Thelma Villarreal.
Since Red’s death in April
of 2003, Katherine was cared
for by her daughter Elaine and
her much loved friend and care
giver, Thelma Villarreal. She
also received care from Isabel
Quiz and Romy Chavarria.
The family extends a heartfelt thank you to each one
who so lovingly took care of
Katherine.
The most important things
in Katherine’s life were not
things, but people . . . her Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ, her
family and friends. She was
blessed to live 94 years this
side of Heaven. On Friday,
December 10, Katherine
Smith went home to be with
her Lord, Jesus, the King of
Glory, to spend all of eternity
rejoicing with Him. She will
be missed by all who knew and
loved her and received love
through her kind and gentle
way. She was truly a Proverbs
31 woman and knowing that
she has joined that “so great a
cloud of witnesses” mentioned
in Hebrews 12:1 is a comfort
to the family of believers left
behind.
The service arrangements
were under the direction of
Gentry Fife Funeral Home of
Junction. The Reverend Loyal
Dean Holford of Port Lavaca
officiated the service. Email
condolences may be sent in
care of Elaine at k_elaine68@
yahoo.com or to PO Box
232, Del Rio, Texas, 78841.
Remembrances for Katherine
may be given to a library,
youth or elder program or
charity of your choice.

A message
from Chief Marvin Ivy
It is that time of the year
when scam artists are counting
on the holiday confusion to pry
you away from your money.
Earlier this month, cities west
of here had a problem with
door-to-door solicitors trying
to sign up people to change
electricity providers. They
were very pushy and appeared
to not be providing complete
and accurate information to
prospective clients. If you have
problems with this, don’t hesitate to call on us to come by
and run a check on the “sales
staff”.
Because we are coming up
on the end of the year, some
of you may need to make
charitable contributions for tax
planning purposes. If so, don’t
forget about the Ministerial
Alliance. They really are a rare
organization that spends all
of your donations here in our
community. They take nothing
for administration. They pay
no sales staff to harass you
over the phone or fill your mail
box with paper flyers to throw
away.
Nearly all of the money is
given out by the minister in
charge on a rotating basis.
There is a limit as to how often
help can be given to a particular family. The needs are real
and usually critically urgent.
A small percentage of the
funds are administered by the
Junction police officers when
out-of-town stranded motorists
or hitchhikers need a voucher
for a meal or a bus ticket or a
tank of gas, or when a stranded
family needs a motel room for
the night while a car awaits
repair. We all are very careful with these funds and take
great care to be sure they are
not given away in a frivolous
manner.
My mom spent part of her
birthday here this last weekend. She is a kind and generous person and spends a good
part of each day dealing with
You’re an Angel.....
BY KRISTI HULL
large quantities of mail, much
of which is asking her for
funds. My mom isn’t wealthy,
just a retired civil servant,
but I know she tries to send
some money to many of these
“needy causes”. Many of you
out there do the same thing
with your discretionary funds.
I have mentioned before that
I once worked undercover in a
boiler room operation, making
cold sales calls on businesses
trying to get them to buy an
advertisement in a fictional
magazine. If they bought an ad
from me today for a particular
magazine supporting a veterans organization, or a church
council, or a police officer support group for widows and
orphans, then my “job” was
to call tomorrow and using
a different identity try to sell
another advertisement. My
commission was as much as
50%, and the organization, if it
existed at all, would only get a
small fraction of the donation.
The Ministerial Alliance will
recycle 100% of your funds
directly back into the neediest
part of our community, and it
is surely part of what makes
life good here in the land of
living waters.

If you haven’t seen some
of your neighbors in a while,
try this: go to an auction with
lots of tools, equipment and
antiques, and chances are
good that you will see them.
The Gary and I went to one of
those auctions last weekend on
WPA Road, and I got to visit
with Bunny and Janice Mays,
Mike and Karen Phillips,
Judy and Jerry Johnson, Mike
Smith, Bill Yoakam, Carla
and Andy Ivins, Annie and
David Van Cleave, John
Falk, Cary Lynn and Frank
McAllister from over near
Menard, Dudley Cardwell,
Sheri Ivy, Haydee and Emilio
Torres - and made some new
friends along the way! It was
cold and, of course, windy. I
have not seen the wind blow
continuously like this since I
left New Mexico. And, lest
you think differently, I do not
like the wind. By the time I
got home I felt like a piece of
jerky that had been left to dry
too long.
In talking with John Falk,
I learned that he is pretty far
into having his new home
built up on the hill. He is
thinking it should be dried in
by the end of the year. I think
that means he and his family
will be in our neighborhood
more frequently.
I received notification last
week that a new group of soldiers in Afghanistan has been
assigned to us to support for
the next few months. It is
a smaller group this time –
about 17 men and women and
they are really pretty needy.
According to the Adopt-APlatoon representative, while
they were en route to their
post, their personal belongings
were stolen by Afghan pirates.
Talk about mean. So anyway,
I’ll be getting a list together
of the things they can use the
most and will let you know the
last day to get them to an SPC
or Community Association
member or me for the first
shipment.
Last week at the Association
meeting we welcomed the
Speakman family to the
‘hood. Dan, Brandie and

. .from the Library
by Sylvia Lawler
November 22 (the date
President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963) came and
went this year without much
fanfare except at Kimble
County Library.
Before I had arrived at the
library on the 22nd, Christina
Beam, librarian, had created an excellent display of
books that she had pulled from
the library’s shelves about
President Kennedy. She also
made a sign asking the question “Where were you when
Kennedy was shot?”
Just like the tragedies of
9/11 and the bombing of Pearl
Harbor, the day of Kennedy’s
assassination is a memory that
is etched in our minds forever.
As patrons strolled into the
library that day and saw the
display that Christina had put
together, everyone began to
recollect of where and what
they were doing at that particular moment when they
first heard of the tragedy.
Two patrons remarked that
they were in junior high, one
in math class and the other
in English class. Of course
Christina remarked that she
had not even been born. I stated that I was in high school
English class. I was beginning
to feel “old” until someone
yelled from among the book
shelves and said that she was
in college. I thanked her for
making me feel better.
Later that day a shipment
of new books arrived and as
I checked the invoice of the
materials, The Kennedy Detail
caught my eye. I had to read it,
just because it was nonfiction
Page 5
Highway 377. You know how
it is – where you live is always
called by the name of the previous owner, until you move.
Our place is still the Palmer
place. We are glad to have the
Speakmans in Kimble County
and in the London area.
Jimmy Don McCollum
prodded me pretty hard about
my blatant error last week. I
talked about the Little Saline
Bridge at the edge of London,
when I knew perfectly well
that I was talking about the
Big Saline Bridge. Actually,
it was a test to see who was
reading “London Bridges”
and he won the prize.
This week I also visited with
Eddie and Reggie Pearl, and
friend Steve. Eddie just got
out of the hospital again. It
is amazing that he stays so
upbeat and is so much fun.
Reggie is here from his travels
for a few weeks and is doing
all kinds of work around their
place in London. Having a
conversation with those three
guys is like participating in
an on-stage comedy routine.
Now that we are out and about
again, we hope to see them at
the London Social Hour on
Wednesdays.
Until next week – y’all take
care out there between the
bridges of Kimble County –
especially the ones with the
wrong names.
and you know how I feel about
nonfiction. I took it home and
started reading it, and the book
was so compelling that I have
been unable to put it down.
The book was written by one
of the secret service agents that
was in charge of protecting
President Kennedy. The author
shares events that unfolded in
the weeks and days leading up
to that terrible day in Dallas 47
years ago, details of that horrible day, and what transpired
afterwards. It is a book worth
reading.
Don’t forget about the
Christmas Open House at
Kimble County Library – this
Thursday, December 16, from
9 a.m. until 6 p.m. There will
be a puppet show at 10 a.m.;
refreshments will be served,
and door prizes are to be given
away at the conclusion of the
day. You do not have to be
present to win. Everyone is
invited!

collected as fees from pretrial
intervention program defendants and are used to offset
program costs.
The court approved the
designation of the second
Tuesday of every month at 9
a.m. to be the scheduled time
to convene in regular session
for the upcoming year.
Commissioners also voted
to approve scheduled holidays
for 2011. The County will celebrate nine holidays with a
total of eleven days off work.
The Court voted to engage
the auditing firm of Eckert &
Company, LLP to perform the
county audit for the year ending December 31, 2010.
Commissioners then considered the fiscal year 2010
Chapter 59 Asset Forfeiture
Audit for both the 198th
District Attorney and the
Kimble County Constable.
The State of Texas requires
that the Commissioners certify these audits or the State
Comptroller will perform an
audit at the cost of the agency
requiring certification.
Commissioners agreed that
as the Constable falls under
the County’s audit, they would
certify that statement. As they
have no review authority over
the 198th Forfeiture Fund,
Commissioners took no action
on this audit.
Commissioners voted to
support a resolution for the
creation of a new judicial district composed of Kimble,
McCulloch, Mason and

The Court authorized Judge

Observations
from the
Rough
by Chip Divit
Christmas is a little over a
week away. This time of year
is the perfect time for a game of
golf. We can have some spectacular weather here in Texas
in the wintertime – crisp, clear,
cool days – jacket weather.
And most importantly for us
duffers – the ball reacts differently in cold weather; physics
is not on our side.
The optimum temperature
for a golf ball is 80 degrees.
The colder it gets - the harder
the balls get and the shorter distance they fly, which is
compounded by the air becoming denser in cold weather.
However, for us less than
scratch golfers, this can be a
good thing.
Go to the sporting goods
store and buy some disposable
hand warmers. I believe they
are activated by exposure to
air. You just open the package,
and they start warming up. Put
one in your jacket pocket with
two or three of your golf balls
and don’t tell the guys that
you’re playing against.
There was a terrible tragedy
this week - Junction and the
Junction Golfing Community
lost a good friend, Arthur
Barragan. The Junction Golf
Association and all the members want to extend their sincere condolences and well
wishes to his family. Art, you
will be missed.

requirements for attendance. Students will then
be released for the rest of the day.
Students who are taking one or more final
exam will show up for that exam. They do not
have to check in the auditorium as the time

all periods they have finals and may leave after
completing the full time period of the final.

demics, activities and goals
to the School Board’s Goals.
These goals are in the area of
Academics, Facilities, Finance,
Technology and Morale/
Community/Involvement.
One of the last items on the
agenda was for the board to
walk through the cafeteria project. Following the tour of the
facility, the last two items of
business were taken care of as
presented: The board members
viewed the November payment to Huser Construction of
$97,300.45, and added a budget amendment in the amount of
$97,301 plus $5,000 for incidental work that might be necessary for a total of $102,301.
They were also informed that
the remaining payment for finish and retainage would be
$5,000, and this would be presented for their approval at a
future board meeting.
As there was no other
business, the meeting was
adjourned.
Ceremony
Construction is underway,
and the building should be finished in six to eight months.
The members’ prayers are
that God will use this facility
for His glory as they seek to
serve Him and this community.
Special thanks go to Tom
Sullivan and Bruce Hubbard
for their hard work.

Alderman Jim Gamble requested that the Council send a letter to Kidwell expressing its
gratitude for his service to the
community.
A request from the JTTB
to amend their by-laws and
allow a business owner within
Kimble County to serve on
the Board, regardless of their
home address, was approved
by the Council.
A partial payment of funds
held in retainage against
Crystal Clear Pools & Spas
for construction at the city
swimming pool was approved.
Complete restitution will be
made upon completion of
items still outstanding. These
are to be completed before the
pool opens next summer.
Kimble Hospital District
Board President Charles
Loeffler briefed the Council
on plans to deed portions of
Reid Road to the City. Council
was also informed that the cost
to pave this portion of road
was estimated at $21,297. No
action was taken.
Alderman Hoyt Moss asked
that the Council consider the
designation of the impound
yard and the vacant lot behind
City Hall as the recycling center. This, and alternate plans
were discussed, and the issue
was tabled for further consideration.
Moss also requested that
the Council consider installing flashing lights and signs in
the 300 block of East Redbud
Street to emphasize “One
Way” traffic during school
hours. City Secretary Vivian
Siaz was tasked with pricing
three options: installing signs,
installing signs and solar powered flashers, and installing
signs and electric wired flashers. Moss will take this information to JISD and see if a cost
sharing can be worked out.
All business being concluded, the meeting was adjourned.
