Arthur Bros. #7


I remember when she died, Luke Anderson came to our house saying that she was down and wanted to ask my father for advice but he was at the Kelly-Miller winter quarters in Hugo at the time.

If you were going by bus, they'd put you off in Texarkana and transfer you to a stretch Chevrolet Cherokee (I think they were called) which took you thru such metropolises as De Queen, Broken Bow, Idabel, Ft Towson (home of some of the Indians on Kelly-MIller) and finally right downtown Hugo.

Jackie Wilcox had a sister named Iva Dell who was called Idabel most of the time. Fascinating trivia here.

For bonus points, what is the purpose of "Photographers' Island" in Texarkana?

If you have to euthanize an elephant, how do you do that?

Buckles said...

Call A Vet.

Hello... Ole Whitey..
Re Photographers' Island - Texarkana

The island in front of the Federal building
shows the state line between Texas and Arkansas.
From there you can get a picture of the
building.. half in Texas and half in Arkansas.

klsdad: pretty good but you left out the famous postcard view of the man and the donkey: "I'm in Texas but my ass is in Arkansas."
