Reminiscences of Lordsburg and Gratitude to Local Responders
A reminiscence letter recalls Lordsburg as a bustling railroad town with mines and social life in the early 20th century. The writer, Marjorie Brown, recalls schools, shops, theatres, and community figures, expressing sorrow at past fires and the loss of a bygone West while highlighting personal ties to the town. A second letter to Hidalgo County Commission thanks paramedics Brian Bingham, W L Sanders, and Margo Estrada for swift aid to a wife who fainted in Lordsburg, praising their professionalism and the county’s medical services.
