Skywatch Friday-turret

This is my last photo of the house on N. Frances in Terrell. They will be having open house this weekend. If you are in the area stop by. Its at 605 N. Frances next to the St. John The Apostle Catholic Church. The auction is Feb 28th, in Dallas, Texas.



Today is Skywatch Friday. For all sites participating click here.

Still no resolution from Google about taking my money and not delivering a service. You can click on my blog title above to get all of the sorry detail.

Widow Blakely, Vicksburg, MS

Another shot from our short trip to Vicksburg, MS. This is the Widow Blakely cannon. It was used to during the Civil War to defend Vicksburg. Today it overlooks the Mississippi River and the bridges that cross over it.

Tandy S Nicholson

This is the grave marker for Tandy S Nicholson, Company D, 23 Mississippi Infantry, Confederate States of America. It's located in Oakland Memorial Park in Terrell. The same resting place as the British Pilots who died while in training.

I found a posting from a few years ago from someone looking for an obituary for Tandy Nicholson, who was a Civil War veteran. I hope they were able to get what they were looking for.
