History on
a Pinhead
The information
in the Handbook of Texas only says that Ford's Corner a rural residential
community and that the community probably came into being in the early
1900s. A general store was the primary business for decades, but today
it exists as a dispersed community. |

Ford's Corner
I read your story about Ford's Corner. Do you happen to know if
Herman Fuller ran that store at one time? Thanks, Patti Fuller Hand,

Bonnie and Clyde
My dad, Mervis Lowery spent about half a day with a gentleman at
this station who told a very interesting story about the capture/killing
of Bonnie
and Clyde. According to him, several lawmen used his corner
as a staging area. His story might make a nice sidebar to the legends.
I am a huge fan of your site and almost dread checking out new stories
because once I hit your site, I get "sucked in" and several hours
will zip by before I can force myself to log off and finish my chores!
Please please keep up the good work. I grew up in Etoile
and am a history lover, especially of anything East
Texas related. Warmest regards - Tuawana Lowery, July 07, 2013
