Bosque County Courthouse in 1886.
In 1886, construction was completed on the third Bosque County Courthouse. It was built with local limestone. The Courthouse was designed by J. J. Kane, a Fort Worth architect and is a National Register Property. In the mid-1930s, the WPA altered the building by shaving the peaked corner towers and obliterated the original clock tower. The decorative elements of this much altered Romanesque Revival structure were also removed or changed. It is located in Meridian off Texas 6, at the intersection of Texas 22 and Main Streets.

I am told the area where my dad's cousin David Butler and his wife live is on part of the original land Grandpa Butler owned. There is Butler Rd. and Butler Circle named for my family. David and Sherry I believe are on Butler Rd. Across the street from that house, where David's mom and dad, W. C. 'Ballie' and Kyle Butler, lived originally, is house sort of built into the hill. I am told that was once part of the original Butler homestead and the house was originally an old rail car! It is in this area I believe the photo was taken.

CASTENs Family
My father's father, a brother to Anna Catharine Wilhelmine came to America first to Ill then Ark. He died when my father was only 7 years of age. There was not much contact, in fact I believe none, after he died. My Grandmother was left with 4 boys to raise all under 9. We have later found out that a sister came to Ohio and they were in contact, but again not after he died. After WWII we recieved letters from relatives in Germany asking for help, food clothing etc. That was 38 years after my Grandfather died. Those letter stayed stored then and after my grandmother died I was given the letters as I was interested in Genealogy. Another 30 years had passed by the time I wrote letters to each of the addresses. Luck was on my side. I recieved replies from all of them. So the contact with the German branch was finally made. After contacting them I found that One brother, my Grandfather, and two sisters came to America, and two sisters and one brother stayed in Germany. They had the name of the sister in Ohio and I managed to find descendants of her. But no one has come up with the married name of the other sister.

COOKE, H.C. Family My ggrandfather, Henry Clay Cooke, and his family. Donated By Jack Brundrett.
I suppose that it was taken in Meridian, TX, but of course can not be sure. I do not have the date it was taken either, but my guess is circa 1890-1892. I suppose there may be more and even better pictures of Mr. Cooke, or the family, at Meridian courhouse, or even at the newspaper. If anyone knows of any other photos of him, or of his family, will you let me know?
This photo (gives their names) is quite light.

GRIMLAND, Ole & his children
The man standing in front of the white horses is Ole Grimland, some of his family is in the wagon. What I would like the listers to do if they can is identfy where this photo was taken. The date on the building at the right is 1898. We thought it was in lampasas but that has been ruled out. Someone thought it might be meridan, another thought Iredell. At one time Ole had a freight line between Clifton and Lampasas. Don't know if this has anything to do with it. Also do you think any of the lister might have photo's of Norse in it hayday? I would love to see some of those.
Ole is standing by the horse and the children as well behaved, as children are, in the wagon. We assume this was taken in Lampasas, as that is where the children were raised. This photo was found among a Great-Aunt photo after her death.

HELM, Lena Snell - possibly wedding photo
I don't know when it was taken, but Lena was married in 1915 at the age of 21. I like to think that it may be her wedding picture. Lena Mae Snell (10 Mar 1894-18 Feb 1994) was the 11th child of William Henry Snell and Margaret Lucretia Mitchell. Lena was born in Turnersville, Coryell County, and sometime later the family moved to Clifton with their nine surviving children. Lena married Ralph W. Helm in 1915 and stayed in Clifton for the rest of her life. The Helms had no children. She was the only one in fhe family to attend college (think it was Texas PolyTech in Denton - will check this out). She majored in music, and became organist of the First Methodist Church, a position she held until she was 91. Lena died shortly before her 100th birthday and is buried next to Ralph Helm in Clifton Cemetery.

They found out he was only a young boy with no home or parents so they let him go. William married in 1875, in Bosque Co. to:

LOADER, Mary Minnie
I am curious about a photo of my g-grandmother, Mary Minnie LOADER, b. 1 Feb 1868, Iredell, Bosque Co, TX, daughter of Thomas Fletcher LOADER & Lucinda Elizabeth MARTIN. Mary is sitting on a pony in front of a home or building, constructed of concrete or concrete block (at least, the base or porch). Out of sight, on the porch, is a wicker rocker. The foot of a man can be seen behind the pony, which was probably, her father. I am wondering if anyone knows any buildings of this kind, in Bosque Co, at this time period. I appreciate any help.

Meridian in 1895
This photo was taken in 1895, in Meridian. This was taken at a park located on what is now Hwy 144 highway to Walnut Springs. This park at that time, had hot baloon rides, horse racing, fairs and picnics. I suspect this park is where my granfather proposed to my grandmother. They were know to go with their families to this park. Notice the horse and buggies. This is a great photo.

Billy Brashears was the brother-in-law of Margaret Jane Appleby Weeks. Lottie Brashears was his daughter.
Andy Weeks, Mary Zuellah Weeks Foster, Josie Kate Weeks Gordon and Bill Weeks were children of Mr. and Mrs. Asbury Evans Weeks. One of the unknown men was probably their other son, John Earl Weeks. The other man was probably Emmett Boyd Foster, husband of Mary Zuellah Weeks Foster and some of the children might be theirs.
