Groom Citizens
Will Consider
Organizing P.T.A.
The need of a Parent Teachers
Association in Groom is great and
an effort to organize is being
made. A number of citizens met
Wednesday, Feb. 20, and a plan-
ning board was appointed. Mrs.
John S. Sparks, district vice-pres-
ident, and Mrs. J. B. Howe of
Panhandle met with the group.
The planning board, Mrs. Glynn
D. Harrell, chairman, Mrs Clifford
Clark and Mrs. Lee Kirk, have
sent cards announcing a meeting
at the Groom high school auditor-
ium at 7:30 Thursday night, Feb.
28, to the parents of the commun-

hoped that a large crowd will be
present. Refreshments will be
served after the meeting.

Ludwig Held began his west-
ward move when he left Germany
and moved to the United States.
The journey continued until he
reached central Illinois where he
made his home. He had learned
the trade of butcher in the old
country and practiced that and
farming after he reached this
country.
It was in central Illinois that
he met Wilhelmina Wepner, whom
he later married. As a child she
had made the trip from Germany
across the vast Atlantic with her
parents. The trip on the water
alone took 6 weeks and after
landing on the shores of the new.
land they still had a long journey
before they settled in Illinois.
Married In 1870
In 1870 Wilhelmina Wepner and
Ludwig Held were married in St.
Louis. For 36 years they lived in
Chanlerville and Petersburg, 111.,
where Ludwig was engaged in
farming and the meat market
business. He knew many ways
of fixing delicate meats and later
taught his sons the trade. Dur-
ing these years two sons and five
daughters were born to the Helds.
The eldeset was George, then
Louie, Elizabeth, Katherine, Dena,
Marie and Margaret. The children
grew to manhood and womanhood
there and the four older ones

Detten, Leo Koenig, John Leven
and Charles Raef.
Relatives who attended the fun-
eral were Mrs. Ann Wilde and son,
Arnold, of Munday, Joe Bichsel
of Nazareth, John Bichsel and
family of White Deer, Englebert
Bichsel and family of Panhandle,
home. Because of these trips Mrs.
Held found things more as she
had been used to than many of the
pioneer women had the good for-
tune of doing. As far as can be
remembered by the children wa-
ter was never hauled and only a
few hardships were encountered.
As they began to make friends
Mrs. Rose Ledwig, Madelyn and wjfh the neighbors life became
Don oi Lubbock and Joe Blaschke more normal. Upon the arrival of
the parents, Lou and his family
stayed only a few years.
Dena taught in the Panhandle
school for three years before her
marriage to J. E. Southwood in
1811. All of the Held children
were given high school education
and part of them went to college
or business school.
First Texas Wedding
The first wedding ln the family
after they left Illinois was Mar-
garet’s marriage to S. G. Bobbitt
in 1909. The Bobbits lived about
a quarter of a mile from her par-
ents after their marriage.
There was some trouble rais-
ing a garden when they first came
to the plains as they had not learn-
ed the methods applied by the set-
tlers and the rainfall did not al-
ways provide enough moisture to
raise many vegetables. Mrs. South-
wood. who gave most of the ma-
terial for this story, said, “I do
not recall doing much canning
although I do remember selling
three pounds of green beans for
riving in the Panhandle were Mr.
and Mrs. J. E. O’Keefe, who lived
on the old O’Keefe place where
Grimes now lives. Another
neighbor was the Chas Dees, who
lived on what is now the C. E.
McCray place.
Recreation was very limited as
there was not a great deal of
time for recreation and travel
was not easy as a horse and buggy
furnished the only means of travel
for the Helds. Parties at the home
of a neighbor afforded the main
recreation and these parties were
well attended and very much
enjoyed.
Traded In Panhandle
Most of the trading done by the
family was done in Panhandle as
the trip to Amarillo was so tire-
some. It was usually made by
train only when there was need
to see a dentist or it was neces-
sary to go there for shopping. Af-
ter reaching Amarillo it was neces-
Carson county’s annual cam-
paign to raise $3,850.00 for the
American Red Cross will formally
begin Friday, March 1, under the
direction of H. B. Skelton.
Skelton has organized the coun-
ty and many workers have sought
advance gifts. Indications are
| that the county will raise the en-
i tire quota on opening day, as it
i has done for several years.
| Around $12,000.00 in gifts were
made to the Red Cross a year ago,
so no difficulty is anticipated in
i raising the quota.
! Mrs. Winfield Powers, White
Deer chairman, has already done
good work in that area, reports
to Skelton and Mrs. Eva E. Craig,
chapter chairman, state.
Mrs. Agnes Howe is advance
gift chairman at Panhandle with
Mrs. Faye Herndon in charge of
the west side of the city and Mrs.
Leah Franklin the east side. They
have already had good response to
their efforts.
Skelton asks that all gifts, if pos-
sible, be turned over to the solici-
tors by the morning of March 1
in order to expedite making a re-
port of reaching the objective the
opening day.
All gifts of $1 or more entitle
the donor to a Red Cross member-
ship card.
Business and professional peo-
ple have shown much interest in
the campaign. They are publish-
ing many messages in this week’s
Herald to call attention to the
great work of the Red Cross.
The Herald is publishing extra
copies this week to assist the
Groom community in calling at-
tention to the Red Cross drive. C.
L. Culver, State National Bank of-
ficer, in charge of the Groom drive.
The appointed chairmen for the
drive this year are as follows

man of the finance committee an-
nounced this week.
As the next few days are being
devoted to the annual Red Cross
campaign, it is not believed that
many gifts will be received for
the Living War Memorial, accord-
ing to Weiser.

Land Trader
Held began to buy more land
as the years passed. At one time
he owned the Cockrell Ranch,
which is s0 rich in oil. He pur-
chased land from discouraged set-
tlers who decided to go back to
their old homes rather than face
the hardships to be encountered
here. He did a great deal of land
trading and at the time of his
death owned eight sections of
land.

During the first years they set

large amount of fruit for many
years. They also set out trees and
shrubs around the house.

es some 5,000 prints of early day
scenes, pioneers, ranch headquar-
ters, towns and such historic sub-
jects; I think that your series of
pictures would be a very valuable
addition to this collection.
“If you have the pictures avail-
| able, I would certainly like to se-
cure them. If you do not have
them, I would appreciate having
your permission to contact the
individual people concerned to
ees if they can be obtained for our
collection.”
As The Herald has returned the
pictures to relatives and friends
from whom they were borrowed,
it will be impossible to send the
pictures to Mr. McClure. The Her-
ald will be glad to send any pic-
tures from the pioneer series to
Canyon. It is expected that Mc-
Clure will contact the respective
families to obtain the pictures.
Rev. James Todd, minister of
the local Christian Church, was in
Borger Monday to conduct the
funeral service of Miss Olga Har-
der, a member of the Christian
Church. The former minister of
the Borger Christian Church re-
cently resigned on account of a
serious heart attack and Rev. Todd
is being called to conduct funeral
services until another minister is
secured.
Library Film Will Be
Shown In Mexico
Mrs. Mary Alexander of the
Bibli and Teca Benjamin Frank-
lin, a free public library serving
all the people of Mexico, has writ-
ten to the local library asking to
borrow the film “A Free Library
for Carson County.” The film will
be used in the library and to show
as a part of the library exhibit
in the Mexico Spring Book Fair in
May. It will also be shown a num-
ber of times to people who are
just learning of free libraries.
Mrs. Minnie Garner sent the
film Tuesday to Dr. Harold W.
Bentley, director of the Bibli and
Teca Benjamin Franklin. The
film has been loaned many times
and copies have been made, from
it. The original film is kept in the
Carson County library and it is a
copy which is loaned.
