Memoirs of Maggie Brothers Dunn

Memoirs of Maggie Brothers Dunn: "I came to Wichita Falls in 1881. My father had been here awhile before Mother and I cameo He had lived at Stephenville, Texas, and he taught school there about two years. He came to Texas when he was discharged from the Confederate Army. Then he decided to go to Colorado on account of his health, and he had a chance to go with a bunch of cowboys driving cattle to Colorado to feed. He stayed there a while, then went back to Tennessee and taught school there, and that�s when he met my Mother. At that time, teachers received 'salary and keep'. He stayed part of the time at my Mother�s home, and different other homes, including that of my stepmother."
