When next I go to the Waurika Cemetery among the Attebery and Wood family burial sites, I may find some of your family sites as well. You spoke of knowing on "Cow Cake" and brought me back to my whole childhood. That was Cotton Seed Cake and my father ran the steam boilers and engine where that was made. I got my "Cow Cake" fresh and hot from the presses. Some of the oil was often used in our home to cook when we couldn't afford shortening and we thought that made us very poor. I learned later that we were cooking with that expensive Crisco Oil. Just recently, the Jesse Chisholm monument has suffered damage; possibly vandalism. The article that I wrote titled "When the Railroad Was King"for the Smithsonian/Waurika event remains a part of the museum display. I combined my maternal family history, Civil War/Texas Cattle History, Railroad History, and Chisholm trail story to cover about two centuries.
