That pic was taken during his campaign for Pres running as an Independent. It was during that campaign when the assassination attempt was made on his life. It's the perverbial old story (with small caliper ammo) where something in his inside pocket saved his life.
Totally don’t
Damn!
The depot is made up of acres of stone quansethut like bldgs buried underground. From ground level they look like rolling hills. They are invisible from the air.
I noticed the one yr difference in date of birth, common mistake in the era of handwritten records I think.There was something about his photo that had my interest.
Maybe his chuck wagon, as I like to eat but more likely his hat!!!
Arvel Hall, of the Pitchfork Ranch, at his chuck wagon at the Texas Cowboy Reunion at Stamford, Texas. 1940
I do a lot of genealogy research so I wondered if I could find any information on ol Arvel.
I often find myself wondering about some of the folks in the photos we share.
Here is what I came up with.
His WWII draft card, filled out around the same time the photo was made.
Death certificate
His final resting place.
In my genealogy research I've found a lot of misspelled names by census takers, like Kathy & Cathy, etc.
