Well is he not cute? Can you find the man? The second person in the photo is a man in a large bonnet! Maybe that mineral water is so youthful, it is his old baby bonnet. This photo of six has no names or dates, but it is to good not to share.<\/p>\n
The stamp on the photo says “[sic] A Photographic souvenir from Mineral Wells, the Great Health and Pleasure Resort of Texas.” The back is inked with an advertisement from the T and P Railway (Texas Pacific).<\/p>\n
There is also an inked mark of the photographic “Mountain and Donkey Groups”. The Fine Jericho Photo Company<\/em>. This is a very large print on a mat.<\/p>\n Pretty Scary looking on the side of the Mountain!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The poor lady in the dark dress looks like she is about to slide down the rocks. If you look at the bottom you can see where they had to climb up a little makeshift ladder.<\/p>\n The mineral well water was famous for its medicinal qualities after is was said to cure rheumatism. This played a major part in the growth of the town. I think I may need to get me some of the “Crazy Water”.<\/p>\n Mineral Wells Crazy Water<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I also found an add from the Marshall Messenger of Marshall, Texas dated April 10, 1907 about the Mineral Wells, Crazy Water.<\/p>\n John William McAnally<\/strong><\/p>\n The Beautiful Box – Full of Photos and Paperwork! <\/p>\n What a cute little box, when I first saw it I thought it was a cigar box.

Someone had to I would think for the little box to end up here. I can not even remember where I picked this one up at. It was before I started writing on all the zip bags of collections. I learned quick to make note of everything!<\/p>\n Where? What? Beautiful Old Paperwork!<\/strong><\/p>\n On top was a beautiful original birth certificate belonging to John William McAnally dated the 13th of June, 1886, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Born to Hugh and Mary McAnally.<\/p>\n The Everton Grange<\/strong><\/p>\n Next is a very large third class (steerage) passenger ticket made out to John McAnally age 24 and dated for the 20 day of June 1911. The cost? Sixteen dollars! The ship was the Everton Grange traveling from Liverpool to Sydney Australia. According to the ship voyages it went to Port Adelaide.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The old photos of the ships on the site in resources listed below are absolutely striking! It looks like the Everton Grange left Liverpool with 215 passengers and pulled into the Adelaide on August the 8th, 1911 where forty passengers disembarked.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
