COMANCHE -- The County Commissioners held
a relatively short meeting and considered largely non-controversial
matters at their regular fourth Monday meeting on March 24.
County Judge James Arthur conducted the
meeting with all four Commissioners -- Garry Steele-Precinct 1,
Kenneth Feist-Precinct 2, Bobby Schuman-Precinct 3, and Jimmy Dale
Johnson-Precinct 4 -- present and participating.
Other county officials and employees
present at the meeting included County Clerk Ruby Lesley, County
Auditor Joey Boswell, County Sheriff Jeff Lambert, County Attorney
Craig Willingham, County Treasurer Billy Ruth Rust, Dispatch
Supervisor Tammy Poteet, County Emergency Services Coordinator Ray
Helberg and his assistant, Trish Grimshaw.
Commissioner candidates Corky Underwood,
Sherman Sides and David Rogers were also present in the audience.
The meeting opened with Judge Arthur's
invocation, followed by Ruby Lesley's reading and the Commissioners'
unanimous approvals of the minutes of Commissioner meetings on March
10 and March 14. >>Full Story<< |

Today, I want to explain the ad that
is in this edition of the newspaper.
(Editor’s note:
Click Here for a viewable, and
printable, version of the articles file, which includes both men
and women’s names, as well as who submitted the article.)
The names listed are the ones that I
had completed at press time. Just because you do not see your
submission does not mean that it is lost. However, it does mean
that you need to call me so that we can be sure that I have it.
This especially applies to those of
you who submitted via email. If your email was one of the ones
“dumped,” you should still have a record of having sent it in by
the September 15 deadline. If you will contact me, I will do my
best to be sure that we get your information into print.
Before you panic, please look at the
form we are using. Although our book will be wonderful for you
genealogy buffs, it is written in a narrative form. If your
female ancestor had a husband, please look for him. Only in a
few instances does the woman’s name stand alone.
In the title of the actual article
that will be in the book, both the woman and her husband’s name
will be used. However, to save space in the ad, only one spouse
(usually the man) is listed.
If you emailed your submission and do
not see it, call 325-356-5129 in the afternoons or evenings
only, please. After I speak to you, we will talk about when to
resend the email. I am still receiving about 100 emails each
day, and obviously, I can’t quite keep up with them.
I think I have written about 880
articles, and we are entering the home stretch! Thanks so much
to all of you who have shared your information. |

YOU IN THIS PHOTO? We were recently given the opportunity to
fly over the town in an Air Evac helicopter. Above is one of
many high resolution photos taken that day. Other aerial scenes

Koonce, shown above, were working at the new community library

by volunteers, opened Tuesday, March 4, and is stocked with more

Gorman Library, and numerous inviduals. The shelving was donated
