There was a lot going on around Dallas on Valentine’s Day in 1883. Here’s a round-up from The Dallas Herald, started off with the immortal pearl, “This is St. Valentine’s Day when people send tokens of love and sarcasm.”

Flashback : Dallas 
How fun…the mentioned Judge McCormick was my maternal grandmother Jewel McCormick Freeman’s father. His name was Andrew Phelps McCormick, Sr.. I love getting to see his name pop up in his official capacity. He was father of 18 children by two wives. He was also a son or grandson of one of the first six families who came to this area with Stephen F. Austin to start forming colonies which became the Republic of Texas.
I always love your posts but this one is really special to me. Thanks.
