Photo taken August 3rd, 1938 of Co. B of the 143rd Infantry in Mexia, Texas. Most of these men were mobilized in Nov of 1940 with the 36th Infantry Division, seeing heavy action in Italy, France, and Germany. Five of the men were killed in action. Many got Silver Stars and one the Distinguished Service Cross. The Company commander (center from row) Ray G. Purcell was not mobilized due to his age and was disappointed not to be able to go to the war.

At the Courthouse
Patricia Grider, Glenda Vardeman, Faye Lynn Eubanks, Jack Bothwell, Carolyn Stewart, Betty Jane Tacker, Sandra Yarbrough, Ann Kassen, Martha Kerzee.
This was taken at the county courthouse. When Joe David Pounds was tried for murder, these eight girls cut classes to attend the trial. Gilbert Smith showed up, and they slid down from their seats to the floor and tried to crawl out without being caught. It didn't work, and they were suspended from school for several days. After one day, Ann Kassen went to Mr. Smith and begged and cried. He was so flustered by it all that he told her they could come back to school the next day.
