When is it not a busy time of the year? Years ago when making plans to “think” about something, it was too easily said, “we’ll do that in January” when it’s not so busy! Oops!
Jan. 8, proved to be a worthy adversary as the cold and rain showed up just as the student anglers began their competition on Lake Tyler for the day. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
Carter C. Cannon and his wife Sarah (perhaps Latimer - not proved) emigrated to the part of Texas that became Cass Co. in October 1841 from Yalobusha Co., MS, where they had lived since the early 1830s. He patented his Cass land in 1856 and 1857.
Cass County Genealogical Society’s President Charlotte Evans presented The C.C.G.S. Editor, George Frost with a certificate from The Texas State Genealogical Society for winning second place in their “Best Journals In The State Contest”.
