I found this old Bible in the local Thrift Store. It was given to Kenlock & Sue Wommack Braddy by Kenlock's mother Lena Hartsook Braddy most likely in the 1960's. Inside it contained a photograph of Sue's parents Sam & Eddith Wommack circa 1901 and her father's obituary form Feb.22, 1967. They were from the Ada & Shawnee, OK area. I also am including their son John Brett Braddy's obituary who died in 2005. A lot of history found in this old Bible.

The Master Gardener’s dedication of the new rose garden on highway 67 next to the Red Barn. Its dedication was to honor William Cowan who was a long time Agriculture Teacher in the Glen Rose I.S.D.
He planted the first rose garden at this location circa 1978. Bill Cowan would be so proud!
