BOWIE COUNTY OFFICIALS
Texas side of Texarkana

Information below came from A History of
Texarkana and Bowie & Miller Counties Texas--Arkansas by
Barbara Overton Chandler & J. Ed Howe. 1939 Texarkana,
Texas-Arkansas.
This book can be found at the Texarkana
Library.
Anything added will have * beside it. Or
if it is after 1939 it will be from research done or submitted
information.
Some of the same info can be found in a book at
the College Library. Bowie County Background compiled by
J. J. Sheffelin.
More info can be found at the Texarkana Library
in a book called BOWIE COUNTY TEXAS HISTORICAL HANDBOOK
Sponsored by Bowie County Histroical Commission Compiled 1973 as a
Bi-Centennial Project 1840-1976
In my research I have found myself referring back to this book for help in locating more information and I thought it should be on line so all could benefit from the hard work these two put in working on this book. Typed up for site by Tresa Dickey Underwood. |
