Hello, Coleman.
I hope by now everyone has recov-
ered from a busy rodeo weekend!
Wasn’t it wonderful to see all that ac-
tivity downtown on Saturday?
We had more visitors than usu-
al coming through the Museum &
Gallery this weekend, as well. A big
“Thank You” to all of the merchants
that sent people our way. Quite a
few guests bought items from the gift
shop and dropped a little something
in our donation box. Yay!
And speaking of donations: I’d like
to give a big “Thank You” to Kevin
McMahon of Edward Jones for mak-
ing a generous donation of an air
conditioner for our Bridget Dunlap Projectile Point
Collection room. Our second floor is not currently
air-conditioned, and while we were able to create

From there he went to
Niagara Falls, working
his way, on a sightsee-
ing trip, and landed at
Pittsburgh, Pennsyl-
vania, where a United
States recruiting office
attracted his attention
and again aroused his
desire for adventure and
more sights. He enlisted
for services in Indian
wars and was a private
in Troop F, United States
therefrom a check for
$288.67. It represented
payment of a $40 per
month pension from Au-
gust 20, 1930, to April 1
of this year. And that is
not all. He will receive
$40 each and every
month hereafter as long
as he lives. The smile
broadened as the happy
old darkey showed the
check to friends. It will
enable him to live in in-
dependent comfort in
the evening of his life.
“The white folks amuse
me,” the old darkey said
to a newspaper reporter.
“Some of them want to
know if I am going to get
drunk and celebrate and
others ask what kind of
an automobile I am go-
ing to buy. I don’t want
to get drunk, and don’t
want a car. I am going to
have my teeth fixed and
buy me some glasses I
can read by.”
“Adams has no recol-
lection of his birth. He
was born in slavery at
Frederick City, Mary-
land. After emancipation
he was an assistant chef
at the Maryland Deaf
and Dumb Institute.

MAKING SENSE OF INVESTING
One of Coleman’s old-
est residential land-
marks, the old Dunn
home was located at
302 W. Pecan Street.
The lot where the large,
picturesque three story
frame structure was lo-
cated covered a quar-
ter of a block. The huge
house was built in 1902
by Augustus D. Dunn,
pioneer Coleman resi-
dent and prominent
early day merchant,
and his wife Ellen. The
Dunns had no children,
but the residence was a
gathering place for Cole-
man youngsters. Dunn
died in 1918. Later, it
was sold to Ben A. and
Mathilde Pessels. Pes-
sels came to Coleman in
1903 and purchased the
dry goods store of Lou-
is Litt. He sold the dry
goods store to Hemphill-
Robertson in 1928. After
his death in 1948, the
old house was sold by
Mrs. Pessels to the Pow-
ell-Cavanagh Truck and
Tractor Company, who
kept it as residential
property until 1953, but
removed the house and I
converted it to a modern I
parking lot, surfaced I
with asphalt paving.
Plans at the time were to I
use it for monthly con-
tact parking, but soon r
after it was used as an |
implement parking lot |
for Powell-Cavanagh.
Shown is the Dunn |
home, which later be- [
came the Pessels home
about 1915. Also is a
map of the Pessels lot in
1930. he small dwelling
marked with a “D,” with
automobile sheds to the
west and north, was the
living quarters of Sin-
gleton Adams when he
worked for the Pessels
family.
Back in the early part of
the 1900s, most wealthy
families had one or more
servants, housekeepers
and cooks. One of the
aspects of these houses
of the wealthy class was
usually a small house
behind the house where
these servants usually ’
lived. Like dry goods 1
merchants, these work-
ing people also came
to Coleman in hopes of
finding a better way of
life. While looking for
some other information
about Coleman, I found
an interesting article
from the April 23, 1931
edition of the Coleman
Democrat-Voice about
one of these people who
helped make Coleman
what it is today.
“Singleton Adams Gets
Government Check for
$288.67. Will Receive
$40 Per Month Pension
Hereafter. — Singleton
Adams, 80 year old who
has been a cook at the B.
A. Pessels home in this
city for the past eleven
years, was all smiles
the other day when he
opened a United States
Department
and pulled
air flow with fans, it didn’t benefit the Dunlap Col-
lection much. Thanks to Mr. McMahon, you will be
able to view the Dunlap Collection in cool comfort.
I’d also like to quickly recognize two more recent
donations to the Coleman Museum. First, Richard
Hetzel brought in two items for our antiquities col-
lection. He made an additional con-
tribution to help cover the cost of
preserving and displaying them. One
item is from the Mexican Revolution,
and the other is a stunning piece of
Native American pottery. I’m saving
the details of these exhibits for an-
other post...’’Thank You,” Richard
Hetzel.
Second, I’d like to acknowledge
Caleb Fullerton of Abilene for donat-
ing a fully functional, 70’s-era phone
booth. It was installed in his boyhood
bedroom where he and his friends
used it for privacy during phone
calls. We are envisioning fun times
ahead for this exhibit!
Remember: the Coleman Museum and Gallery
is open 10 to 4, every Friday and Saturday, and
we appreciate your donations and support.
