| 説明 | ... working out of the courthouse in Gholson, TX. Coming back to reality from the Dada nonsense brain wave pattern, I just want you to know there really is a Constable Pogue, who is the grandfather of Ruth, Joy (Honky Tonk), Marie and probably some other folks and the facts we've included here really are true. He did mostly keep the peace and serve warrants and summons and he really did handcuff prisoners to the trees around his house overnight before taking them into the county seat....What little Joy and Ruth remembered is all we've been able to stir up on the Constable and we tried every relative and every site on the internet we could think of and still nada. The only other thing we have to offer is this battered old tintype from the Constable's lawman days, so look closely at old Constable Pogue, the slant of his eyes, and the mustache that gives his face a constant frown, the black hat, the shirt buttoned up to the very last button and it says only one thing, "You can come peacefully, or you can come tied over the back of your horse riding on your belly, and that's alive or dead, it's all the same to me..... well, there I go again. I made that up. That's what the Constable's image does to folks.... I got an email from Marie this morning. Here's what she had to say ....Nobody ever asks me anything. I was driving mother from Gholson to West and she told me that we were passing by where she lived as a child. It was called Dell when she was little but there was nothing there when we passed it. She said that was why she named me Marie Dell. I told the others but they never listen to me. Just thought I would tell you. Marie.... so that tells us that Constable Pogue raised his daughter in Dell, TX, not even a ghost town anymore. That would have been the location prisoners were held for transport into Gholson the next day. Not much, but it is really something when you get even one piece of new information, when you're doing research like this..... the best way to go is to go into the court house and ask to see records from around 1890 to 1910. Then you get that look County Clerks save for serial killers, men flirting with their wives and anyone who steals their favorite quarter horse. Then again, he or she might just smile knowingly and say, "Well I'll Suwanny, that's really a shame, 'cause the courthouse burned plumb down in 1911 and we never even found the ashes to them records. You'all come back real soon, now, you heah?" |
