First “Steak-Out”
huge success
Submitted
More than 250 people enjoyed sirloin steak with all of the
trimmings and delicious desserts on Friday night, all prepared
on a volunteer basis and served buffet-style at the Kimble
County Historical Commission’s Kimble County Steak-Out
held at the Coke R. Stevenson Memorial Center.
Museum Building Committee Chairman Charles Hagood said
that commission members had heard many positive comments
regarding the evening and that they hope to make it an annual
affair. “Between ticket sales and donations,” Hagood said, “we
raised somewhere in the neighborhood of $7,000 which will go
into the fund for the construction of the new museum. I can’t
express strongly enough how much I appreciate all of the hard
work which went into this event. I am amazed at how well it came
together. It was just a great evening.”
Scott Zesch, of Mason, spoke to the gathering about this area’s
history of Indian depredations in the late 1800’s. Zesch, who
is a descendant of the Kountz family of Kimble County, is the
author of The Captured-A True Story of Abduction by Indians on
the Texas Frontier. His talk and subsequent question and answer
segment were very interesting and enjoyable.
Watch The Junction Eagle for information about coming fundraising events. Hagood said, “The Historical Commission hopes
to be able to continue the momentum apparent in the community
toward helping raise funds for the new museum. Future plans
include a fish fry, Mexican supper, and possibly a dance and silent
auction. Each will include an historical presentation of some sort in
addition to the get-together and meal. With everyone’s continued
help, we will succeed in building a new museum which will tell
this county’s history to future generations.”

Meanderings
by Frederica Wyatt
Delicate lacy leaves are
bedecking the myriad Honey
Mesquites in the area. Oldtimers believed that was a sign
Winter was over, taking with
it the danger of a killing freeze.
With Easter still a few weeks
away, we will keep our fingers
crossed in the hopes there will
be no late “cold snaps” this year.
Sadness has again confronted our community, and my
condolences are extended to
those experiencing grief. My
heart was heavy-laden when
I heard the sad news of the
death of Jean Ellis Blaylock
of Houston, the daughter of
my dear friend, Jean Chessher
Blaylock.
Leah Louise Brooks, the
mother of local resident Dr.
Larry Brooks, passed away
Tuesday, March 29, and was
laid to rest Wednesday in San
Angelo.
Funeral services were held
Monday in Menard for Jose
Angel Saiz, whose death
occurred Friday, April 1. He
was the brother of local resident Sammy Saiz.
Another dear lady left our
midst Tuesday, March 29,
when Nell Phillips Craig, left
this earth for a home “beyond
the blue”. The daughter of
the late Craten C. and Annie
Bowers Phillips, Nell was the
widow of Charles G. Craig.
Funeral services was held
Friday, April 1, with burial in
the Junction Cemetery.
Sunday morning’s death of
Leroy Pearl was relayed via an
e-mail from Ginger Andrews.
Leroy was the son of London
community residents, the late
Alvah and Irene Wimberly
Pearl and the grandson of
George M. and Hulda Jackson
Pearl. His first wife was the
late Naleen McCollum, daughter of Bill and Mabel Lambert
McCollum. My sympathy is
with their family – Wannetta
Quick, Kathy Duncan, Patsy
Matheson, and Eddie, Reggie,
and Ronnie Pearl.
Another recent death of a
George and Hulda Pearl
descendant was that of
Meredith Meghan Hahn of
Dallas, who died Saturday,
March 26. She was laid to rest
in Ovilla, Texas. Meredith was
the granddaughter of Colonel
G. L. Pearl and the great-granddaughter of the late Max and
Emma Pearl Hahn of London.
Friday evening’s Steak-Out
event, sponsored by Kimble
County Historical Commission
as a fundraiser for the museum’s building, reflected the
time and talents of an untold
number of volunteers. As one
attendee reflected the opinion
of many who were on hand for
the festivities:
“Everyone worked so hard
to put together a fantastic evening for all of us. Everything
fell into place terrifically. The
tables were beautiful, the food
wonderful, and the speaker
very good. Thanks to everyone
involved in this endeavor. I am
surely looking forward to the
next one.”
The program included an
abundant steak dinner, a wonderful talk by author Scott
Zesch, live western music,
power-point presentation, and
much more.
Scott and his parents, Gene
and Patsy Zesch, all of Mason,
were guests of the historical
group.
A capacity crowd of at least
245 persons enjoyed the festive occasion in the Coke R.
Stevenson Center.
Some of the persons in attendance were from Statesboro,
Georgia; Grand Junction,
Colorado;
Wimberley,
Kerrville, Fredericksburg,
Sonora, Mason, Menard,
Rocksprings, Hondo, Burnet,
and elsewhere, as well as many
from the far reaches of Kimble
County. I wish I had sufficient
space in my column to list
each friend and acquaintance I
chanced to see Friday evening!
In addition to the revenue
from the sale of tickets, monetary contributions were
received from several who
could not attend, including the
Stan Marek family of Houston;
Pete and Alice Rose of Austin;
and Antoinette Parker Ackel of
Noxville.
Memorials for the building fund received during the
week included a donation from
Dixie Murr Kaye in memory of her maternal grandparents, Hardy and Dixie Hodges
Farmer. Another was from
Virginia Joy Linder of Henly
in remembrance of her parents,
Tom and Mozelle Sorrell Joy.
Memorials for Caddo
Wright were from Heritage
Study Club of Lubbock and
Harold F. Priddy of Denton.
Cherokee Bridge and Road
and the Harold D. Martin
family sent a contribution in
memory of Bill E. Herod of
New Braunfels. Edith Murr
Allen’s latest contribution was
in memory of Jimmy Baugh.
The museum building committee and Kimble County
Historical Commission gratefully acknowledge the thoughtfulness of each one who has
sent a memorial contribution.
Saturday was another busy
day in my “niche of the
woods”.
Chanes Chapter,
Daughters of the American
Revolution, sponsored the dedication of a government marker in the Little Saline Cemetery
denoting the military of Henry
Parks, Jr. in the War of 1812.
In late week, Laura Lester
was accompanied to the historical museum by a friend,
Patricia Maverick Crossett
of Colmesei, Texas. The latter related she is a descendant of early Texan, Samuel
Maverick, whose name echoes
through the local area. She and
Laura had both attended the
San Antonio school named for
her ancestor. The duo arrived
at the museum in time to volunteer to assist Billie Meckley
and me with some needed
chores.
Another who spent a
lengthy time at the museum
on Friday was Grady Puryear
of Fredericksburg, who was
seeking information on the
Speer family, of which he is a
descendant.
His
great-grandmother
was Elizabeth McAllister
Speer, who was the mother of
Samuel Speer, who was killed
by Indians across the North
Llano River from Junction
on Christmas Eve, 1876. The
same band of Comanches
had murdered Isaac Kountz
shortly before their attack on
Sam. Grady’s wife, Joanie,
whom I have known for some
years, is a descendant of the
Taylors who came this way
from Goliad County.
I enjoyed some time with
Tony Parker Ackel and Joan
Parker when they visited the
museum in late week. A number of other Kimble County
folks passed through the doors
of the museum during the
week, and we always welcome
their interest.
The annual picnic hosted by
Mary Harlow Griffith Chapter,
Order of Confederate Rose
to honor the Frontier Guards,
Sons of Confederate Veterans,
will be held Saturday, April
9, in the County Park. The
day’s activities will begin at
the Wooten Cemetery near
Cajac Creek, about eleven or
so miles south on Highway
377. A program will begin at
the cemetery at 10 a.m., when
a Confederate marker will be
dedicated for one of my maternal great-great uncles, Daniel
Allsup (born 1818, Tennessee;
died 1891, Castell, Texas). He
served in the Third Frontier
District, Texas State Troops,
commanded by Captain James
P. Magill, under the leadership of Brigadier General J. D.
McAdoo. The Frontier Troops
in Burnet County were organized December 15, 1863, primarily to defend the Texas
frontier. The public is invited
to Saturday’s events.

Book Review
By Rosanna Stapp
Unbroken
By Laura Hillenbrand
When he was in the ninth
grade, Louie Zamperini’s
older brother started training him to run track. When
he started winning races, the
sound of the applause made
him want to run more.
Louie graduated in 1935,
and all he could think of was
running in the 1936 Berlin
Olympics. He made the team
but didn’t win any medals.
He started thinking about the
1940 Tokyo Olympics, but
they were canceled because of
Hitler’s attack on Europe.
In April 1941, Louie joined
the Army Air Corps. He became
a bombardier on a B-24. This
took him on many adventures
and one adventure that would
change his life forever.
This is a well written, well
researched biography of a
WWII POW veteran.

She was pretty, she was cute,
she was smart, and I loved her
very much. I brought her to the
land of living waters where she
could find peace away from
the city. She loved it here and
made very many friends. She
had a lot of troubles, and in the
end, it was all too much for her.
She will be dearly missed by all

economic bailouts in recent
months totals: more than for
the New Deal, more than for
the entire Iraq invasion, more
than for the 1980’s savings
and loan mess, more than the
Korean War...Combined! And
every dollar was printed by the
Federal Reserve.
If that does not sound like an
out of control Federal Reserve,
then what is? A full, total legal,
audit of that unit of government for the basic economic
protection of the nation and the
citizens of the nation. Today
there is a bill before Congress
to do just that. Wonder if they
have the integrity to pass it?
Thank you to everyone who said a prayer, sent a card
or thought my way during my time of critical illness.
I want to send a special thanks out to my Dad, Steve,
who never left my side and his wife, Peggy, who was
strength as well. Secondly, I want to thank my brother,
Travis, and his girlfriend, Mikayla, because they were
also a strength. Again I appreciate every thought and
prayer. It was definitely heard. The Lord heard, and I
believe that is the greatest strength.

One of the major problems
that actually does have effects
on basic Americans is the
Federal Reserve Bank. Yes,
even us here in south central
Texas. When you take a 20
dollar bill (if you have one
anymore) out of your purse
or billfold and look at it, it’s
a work of art. Also, it has
designed into it some of the
most anti-counterfeit designs
and methods known to science.
But! There is no basis for the
value it supposedly bears, reason being, the Federal Reserve
Bank does not have the basic
requirement for printed money
to reflect any backing value.
Another problem we have, that
there is no mention of nor
authority for a national government (the Federal Reserve)
bank, and that there has never

A message
from Chief Marvin Ivy
Let’s talk about distracted
driving this week. In the past
five years about 3.5 percent
of drivers involved in crashes
attribute their crashes to distractions. Nationally in 2009,
5,474 people were killed in
crashes involving driver distraction. The state Department
of Public Transportation
believes one in four crashes
now involve distracted drivers.
In 2009 over 100,000 vehicles
were involved in crashes where
distraction in vehicle, driver
inattention, or cell phone use
was cited as causes. 408 of
these crashes involved fatalities. When surveyed, 85% of
you think texting while driving has gotten worse in the last
five years. I’m not sure which
planet the other 15 percent
live on.
At any given moment
throughout this nation 800,000
vehicles are being operated
by drivers using handheld cell
phones during the day time.
Drivers using handheld devices are four times more likely to
get into crashes serious enough
to hurt themselves or someone
else.
SMALL TOWN
BY KRISTI HULL
In Texas in 2009, 3,308
crashes were attributed to cell
phone use, and 41 of those
were fatal crashes. The sad
thing is that those drivers
between 16-29 include 22 percent of distracted drivers who
report using their cell phones
at the national level. The under
20 age group has the highest
proportion of distracted drivers
involved in fatal crashes with
16 percent. The 20-29 year old
group of distracted drivers has
12 percent of the total. Here
in Texas 52 percent of rural
teens talk on a cell phone while
driving, and 48 percent of rural
teens text while driving.
On a different note, we had
a break-in at the concession
stand over Spring Break, and
soft drinks, candy and Dr.
Peppers were stolen along
with packs of sunflower seeds.
Crime Stoppers will pay a
reward for information leading
to arrest and indictment of the
suspect(s) involved. Someone
out there knows who did this,
and we would really like to
solve this crime.
If you don’t think an individual can make a difference
in this community, look at
the function at City Park last
Saturday and drive around
town and see the clean roadsides and even river banks.
Kaycie Sullivan doesn’t like to
take credit, but I have seen her
push us all to be better stewards of our community. She
gets lots of help, but she is the
spark that gets us to volunteer
and to make a difference here.
This is a better place because
of her and I know I’ll get in
trouble for saying it. Someone
will say that I left someone
else off or didn’t recognize old
so and so. I’m just pointing out
that we don’t have any excuse
for not trying to make Junction
and Kimble County a better
place to live and raise our families. We already have a great
example. Enjoy life here in the
cleaner land of living waters.

Descendants of Henry Parks, Jr., gather at Little Saline Cemetery near London, to pay
tribute to his service. Pictured, from left, are Mary Frances Johnson and husband, Bill

wife, Judy, of Statesboro, Georgia; Lauren Long and her mother, Marianne Long, of Tulsa,

Tribute paid to Henry Parks, Jr.
by Frederica Wyatt
More than a score of historians and other interested persons
gathered Saturday afternoon at
the Little Saline Cemetery near
London to pay tribute to Henry
Parks, Jr., a veteran of the War
of 1812. His military service
was under the leadership of
Captain Thomas F. Anderson
and his company of riflemen,
who were commanded by Lt.
Col. William Jones of the 4th
Georgia Militia. It was during
the War of 1812 that Francis
Scott Key was inspired to write
the immortal words of our
national anthem. On a lighter
note, Johnny Horton immortalized the Battle of New Orleans,
a song inspired by the history
of the 1812 conflict.
Saturday’s event marked the
149th anniversary of April 2,
1862, the date when the quiet
solitude of the Saline valley
was disrupted when a band
of Comanches descended
upon the pioneer Parks family. Henry Parks and his wife,
Nancy Ann Dorsey Parks,
as well as a twelve-year-old
grandson, William F. “Billy”
Parks, were mercilessly slain
by the marauding Indians. The
frontier cabin was burned, and
the three victims were buried in a common grave at the
homestead, now the site of the
historic cemetery.
An interesting fact is that
Stephen Cavaness’ military
record revealed he was one of
the Rangers engaged in a fight
with Comanche Indians in the
area on April 2, 1862.
Gordon Parks of Statesboro,
Georgia, gave a biographical history of the Parks family at Saturday’s gathering.
He, along with several other
descendants, some of whom
had attended Friday evening’s
Steak-Out dinner, were present
for Saturday’s ceremony honoring their ancestor.
The program was sponsored
by Chanes Chapter, Daughters
of the American Revolution,
and persons in attendance
were welcomed by Claudette
Primeaux of London. The
DAR Ritual was recited, and
the pledges to the United States
and Texas flags were given.
The America’s Creed was read
in unison during the ceremony.
In conclusion, the Parks family
placed a United States flag at
the burial site.
Following the program, DAR
members served refreshments
at the London Community
Center.
Descendants of the Parks
family in attendance (some of
whom had attended Friday’s
Steak-Out event) were Gordon
and Judy Parks of Georgia;
Marianne and Lauren Long
of Tulsa, Oklahoma; William
Parks Johnson and his wife,
Mary Frances, of Wimberley,
Texas, and George Parks of
Fort Worth. In addition to the
local DAR members and their
Kimble County guests were
several persons from Mason,
including Scott Zesch, Jane
Hoerster, Jan Appleby, and
Jerry and Mary Carlman.

Earth clean. Why not stop by
the library and check out a
few of these new books along
with the other materials that
have been donated by Usborne

Many thanks to everyone who
came out in the heat and wind
to clean up our little stretch of
highway between the bridges
of Kimble County! With everything else going on last weekend, it was a real challenge to
get it done, but we did it! We
saw Bill and Alli Johnson, Judy
and Jerry Johnson, Andy Ivins,
Ruth Ann Baier, Nan Loeffler,
Nancy Wright, Rick Novotny,
and Benda Shuler.
My spies tell me that Jerry
Hand did his part earlier in the
week. You know he is such a
shy guy, he acted alone. Jack
Sides also did his part ahead
of time by picking up the usual
load of aluminum cans up and
down the highway. I also had
a report of at least one person
checking out the dead armadillos on the side of the road
for possible rehab for country
décor. I don’t know for sure,
I’m just saying...
After that little walk, I ran
home and cleaned up a bit to go
to the grave marker ceremony
at Little Saline Cemetery. As
always, Frederica did a wonderful job of setting up and presenting the memorial service, along
with her cohorts from the DAR
and Historical Commission.
Ginger Andrews and son Joey
did the hardest part – setting up
and taking down the tents and
chairs in the blazing heat and
wind. I was really impressed
with the whole event.
Although the occasion was
to recognize Henry Parks’ service in the War of 1812, it was
only natural that other stories
would be told about him and
his family. Gordon Parks from
Statesboro, Georgia, read some
accounts of the deaths of his
early family members, Henry,
Nancy and Billy Parks in 1862 at
the site of their common grave.
As was sometimes the case, the
old stories were quite graphic
by today’s standards and must
have been very disturbing to
family members who learned
of the massacre that way. Ms.
Wyatt also recounted the story
of discovering the site of the
Parks’ home up the hill from the
grave by analyzing the “black
dirt” as actual discoloration of
the soil of the burn-out by the
Comanche that infamous night.
We adjourned to the welcomed air conditioning at the
Community dining room to
enjoy some great homemade
night? Brenda McCollum said
that General Custer thought he
heard an owl, too. And look
how well that encounter went.
I gave in and planted my
tomatoes Sunday night, just
in time for the cold front to
come in Monday with temps
in the 30’s. Everyone can say
they told me so. I think they
will make it, since it was not
cold very long. Actually, the
wind has probably done more
damage than the cold. I know
it has done more damage to my
psyche (what little I have left).
Now. For next week: The
SPC will meet on Wednesday
at Nita Hight’s home. As
always, we will prepare the
boxes to be shipped to our
platoon. I received notice that
they will ship out a little earlier
than expected, so this group
will receive their last shipment
from us in July. Then, the
Community Association meets
Thursday, April 14, with the
potluck supper beginning at
6:30.
Take care out there between
the bridges of Kimble County.
cookies and punch and visited some more. I made a new
friend, Guido, the darling dog
that attended the entire ceremony in the arms of his owner,
Lauren Long, from Tulsa. Dog,
the community cat of London,
took a little exception to Guido,
but Guido understood he was in
Dog’s territory and did not act
uppity. It also helped that Dog
outweighs Guido by a good bit.
I saw Henry Davis last week
for the first time since his surgery. He looks really well, but
says he still is in a good bit of
pain. When he described all of
what he went through, I can certainly understand being in pain!
Glad to see him out and about.
I also talked to Janice Mays
about her knee replacement
surgery last week. She sounds
really good, but we all know
she has a pretty intensive few
months ahead of her, just as
Henry does. Janice is a strong
person – we will be thinking
about her.
Remember I talked about
