Many years ago, Fred Baldwin and Wendy Watriss spent time traveling in Grimes County. They took extensive photos of all sort of Grimes County people and events. They spent over 10-years (1972-1985) documenting and listening to the stories of people who settled and worked in Texas’s four different cultural frontiers from cotton to cattle ranching. They also took other photos of interest including funerals.
Two Rivers Heritage Foundation and Grimes County Historical Commission are sponsoring “A Journey in Time” at the Bluebonnet room of the Navasota Center. The event welcomes back Fred and Wendy and will feature photos from the past.
The monthly meeting of the Iola-North Zulch Order of the Eastern Star was held at the Pyramid Masonic Lodge No 593 in North Zulch Monday, Jan. 27, with a good number of members and visitors in attendance. Lots of good food and fellowship was enjoyed. Special guests for the evening were W. Keith Powell and his wife Sharon, both of Lake Charles, Louisiana. He is the Worthy Grand Patron of the Eastern Star in Louisiana. It certainly was good to meet them both. During the meeting a variety of business was discussed and acted upon.
The monthly meeting of the Keith Civic Club was held at the Keith Community Center Thursday, Jan. 23, with a fair number in attendance. The covered dish meal was enjoyed by all. During the business meeting, the needs of the Civic Club were discussed. The present need is replacing windows that were shot by an area teen who was visiting in the community. Money is greatly needed to assist with the expense. Some money was donated but more is needed.
The new officers for the year are Bob Templeton-president, Glenn Loranc e-vice president and Tammy Sanford- secretary/ treasurer. If anyone wishes to join as a member the dues are $15 for a single membership and $25 per couple. Hopefully more will join.
