Christmas Campaigns And Community Notes From Gillespie County
Local readers glimpse efforts to “Put Christ Back in Christmas” as cities promote seasonal faith and traditions. A Pecan Creek family reports a December apple branch from a tree that blossomed after September rains. Judge Tom Beauchamp, soon to retire from the bench, will continue Boy Scout work in Paris, Texas. A Gillespie group appears in December Farmer-Stockman with a list of farm leaders, and Fredericksburg is highlighted in a December 1952 American magazine story about Texas.
