I
was surprised but happy to find a site about Star, Texas.
My fathers’ family is from there and my father and grandparents and probably great
grandparent are buried there. My aunt recently contacted me and sent me some old
photos of my families connection to Star, here they are. |

| I
think my Aunt Annette still lives there. My families’ last name is Hurst and is
also related to the Hamilton’s. My granddad was “Slim” Hurst married to Lucille
who was a Hamilton. My dad’s name was Thomas Ed Hurst, and my aunts are Annette
and Lula Mae. |

| My
father was in the military and was shipped to Europe where he met and wed my French
mother. My brother and I were born in France and our parents eventually moved
back to the United States. What an unusual place Texas seemed to be to my French
speaking mother and what an odd place to learn to speak English…I mean y’all speak
a little different than those of us living a bit north of you. |

| I
was only in Star when we came from Colorado to visit my grandparents and aunts
when I was very young, and only again after my father died to visit his gravesite.
I would love to know if anyone has memories about my dad or my grandparents they
could share. Thanks, Nancy F. Payne, Carbondale, CO, January 16, 2007 |
