EARLY DAYS IN
COOK COUNTY
DESCRIBED
PERSONAL REMlNiSCENCES OF A
PIONEER LADY WHO HAS
LIVED IN THAT COUNTY SINCE
1854.

The relator of this sketch is Mrs
Letita Mccormick, better known as
Aunt Letta Diester,' who camo te
Cooke county with her fathers family
in December, 1854, at the age of Il
years. She says:
las | remember Gainesville at thai
time, there was only one store. The
building was made of logs and Gov
cred with clap-board We first To-
Gated south of Gainesville at what is
known as the Jim Dixon place !;
stayed there six weeks. then came
out southeast of Gainesville nine
miles to what is now my present
home, which was my first husbands S
homestead-th Diester survey Old
man Turner, old man BOggs, and Ra-
nah Dye were our neighbors. There
was only one house between here
and Sherman, and that was at the old
McCoomb place My husband locat-
ed a German colony, several of whom
died, but | remember the Scratch
berrys and Bakers on Jordan creek
in Grayson county, four miles south
of Whitesboro. Those Germans made
their first two crops with hoes, max
ing corn enough for their own use
and some to sell, with which money
they bought some ponies. The In
dian trails and camp places were
plentiful in this country at that time

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The defeats in last weeks games OF
basketball did not discourage the
boys in their efforts to still make
this a successful season. Friday ev-
enng the boys and girls team
played the boys and girls team from
Durant on the local court before one
of the best crowds ever seen at a
basketball game in Ardmore. The
Ardmore boys won by large
score of % to in the boys game and
2S to l in the girls game.
The lineup is as follows

the meat and it was certainly fine. !
ground our corn meal on hand mill
for three years. The sugar we used
was brought on in five pound loaves,
wrapped in blue paper and was in a
cone shape. Every 5-pound loaf cost
SlOO. Everybody lived in pole or
log cabins, covered with boards !:
some had chimneys built of poles and
mud, while others built their fires in
the yard in front of their doors
cooking and warming by them, both
summer and winter
We raised corn, potatoes, pumpkins
and my husband made a specially of
watermelons. He never sold any, but
gave everybody all they wanted to
eat.
My father furnished five or six
teams of oxen of five and six yoke
to the wagon, and made trips to JEFF
ferson, Texas, to haul supplies to
Gainesville and other points west,
such as flour. coffee, sugar, dry goods
hardware and other supplies.
My first husband, George Diester,
came to this country some time ear
lier than 1851 don't know the date
He bought and settled colony of
Germans here, among them being the
late Frank Busch's father and family.
His first trip here was to capture
buffalo calves to take to Europe. He
captured 26 calves with their mothers
drove them to Missouri, and started
from there to Europe with the calves.
They all got sea-sick and died ex-
cept two, which he sold for 81 100000.
During the war we were forced to
feed the war widows and we killed
all our cattle to feed them. When
the war ended, we were broke finan-
cially, the Confederate money we had
being of no value whatever.
The first school house that was
built near us, was the Dye school
which was built of logs. The first
teacher was Jerry Hughes, and the
next was a Mr. Graham. The first
church organized at Rye schoolhouse
was the Christian denomination. |
do not remember who organized it,
but old Parson Glass used to preach
there.
The Coffee family had settled and
left here before | came, and the Cof-
fee home was burned.
When | was a girl we took oat-
straw and plated it into hats. We
made some real nice hats and sold
them for $4,000 each. Old man Club
made wool hats. He made one for
Captain Rowland out of buffalo hair.
We raised sheep and carded and
spun the wool into thread and woveI
cloth to make our clothes. We gath |
cred berries and bark of different !
kinds to color the thread for our |
clothes. We raised cotton in the gar
iens and picked the seed out by |
land, spinning and weaving it into
10th to make sheets, pillow cases,
able cloths and towels. For our flan-
lels we carded and spun both warp
md filling and our flannels were
much nicer than the ones We buy \
low.
Our neighbors took COW horns and
made drinking cups and spOone. Uncle
Tohn and Aunt Nancy Ware and fam
ly came to this country in 1857 and
ettled near us. We were neighbors
n the early days. We bore the hard
hips of a frontier life and raised

which we find have been made
monthly to the county court.
These reports give much detail

time employed on the public

and taking said reports in con-
nection with the record of al

lures by the county for main
tenance of the convict camp.

In the audit of this officers
books, we are pleased to note.
that Notwithstanding the many
entries necessary in keeping the
records of this office, we find
that he has kept his accounts
correctly. We find that he has
taken credit regularly, and not
in excess of his salary, monthly
payment for his official services
out of his commission account,
therefore having no overplus of
salary to report. This officer re
celved and accounted for, from
the county depository, interest
on all funds, for the period be-
ginning July l 1914, ending
June 80, 1915, the sum of ST.

desire to supplement the
report of the commissioners fill
ed on the 18th day of October,
1915, for the reason hereinafter
stated.
In checking the account of
former County Clerk Waldrip,
the commissioners found that
he had failed to pay into the
county treasury the sum of
S975.29, which he was due the
county. The commissioners gave
Mr.. Waldrip an opportunity to
settle this amount by paying in
to the treasury before making
us flnal report as filed yester-
day. Just prior to the signing
and filing of said report, Mr..
Dunlap, one of the commission
ers, was sent to the treasurer's
office to ascertain if said a
mount had been paid in. Mr..

Dunlap returned and advised
that it had Deen paid in as
shown by two receipts, one for
S347.85 and anotherfor$627.44
Whereupon the commissioners
signed the report and left Il
with the clerk.
After said report had been
filed, your commissioners dis
covered that the treasurer's re-
ceipt for the last named amount
had been Issued, as ~tforth be-

mate the cost to be a fractional

Remarks-Our investigation
