Genuine Old Maids raise fowl on Manchaca Road 1868 tract
Olla Beckett and Mary Beckett, two sisters known as genuine old maids, run a 300 acre ranch on Manchaca Road with 15 cats and 14 dogs, insisting they will not sell. They recall the old days when neighbors visited for meals and criticize modern reliance on money and cars. Other Beckett relatives and local farmers, including Sam Harris, 100 head of cattle sold to Leonard East, contrast with ongoing drought hopes and a thief threat over area poultry.
