Mr and Mrs Lloyd Wade Observe Anniversary
Mr and Mrs Lloyd Wade celebrated their anniversary on a rural Marathon route journey in 1910. They married in San Antonio and attempted to find a suitable bath during a rough trip to Alpine, where a hotel bath failed them. Frustrated, they ordered a tub to Marathon, noting the rugged Bis Bend area and Alpine merchants could not supply one. The tale ends with locals doubting the tub could be hauled over bad roads and the Wades remaining “high toned” in their travel quest.
