Our reception for our visiting spring
artist, Rebecca Ashley, will be held Sat-
urday, April 13, starting at 2 pm and end-
ing at 4 pm. The public is invited to attend.
Refreshments will be served. Rebecca will
have a grand display of her pastels for you
to see.
After high school, Rebecca enrolled
at Oklahoma State University and it was
there that she met her future husband,
John Salem Ashley. John was from Cana-
dian, Texas, so they shared many interests
and similar experiences. They dated for
four years and then in May of 2003 went
their separate ways. During this time Re-
becca moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and
pursued an education and career in mas-
sage therapy.
After three years in Nashville, Rebec-
ca and John reconnected and decided to
start a life together in Higgins, Texas. On
July 29,2006, the two were married at the
Presbyterian Church in Canadian. They
rented a small house in Higgins where they
lived with their new puppy, a Lab mix they
named Nash. Unable to work for six months
due to procedures in changing her massage
license from Tennessee to Texas, Rebecca
soon found herself with more time on her
hands than she knew what to do with. She
met two individuals who played a vital role
in realizing her childhood dream of one day
being an artist—Jean Weis and Amy Win-
ton. More on Rebecca’s story next week.
Here is more on “Yip, An Autobiography
of a Dog,” by Yip, penned by Mary Corson.
“While I was still a puppy, my girlie
(Augusta) used to take me riding when
she went to look after the cattle. I would
sit behind her saddle and put my fore-paws
against her sides and away we would go at
a lope. When the sand burrs were thick, I
would beg for a ride by putting my fore-feet
against the pony and my girlie would take
hold of them and pull me up in my place
behind her. What fine times we had! She
would sometimes wait until I begged to be
helped across a burry patch. I used to of-
ten pick the burrs out of her dress with my
teeth. There were some men who set traps
for coons and I got caught in one. Oh, how
it hurt! And how I howled! Girlie tried her
best to get me loose, but could not, and then
she tried to take the trap, still fastened to
my leg, away to the house, but she couldn’t
do that either. Then the men heard me and
came running.
“The first man came to me and I met
him half way and bit him good and hard on
the knee. He let me alone for a while. He
asked my girlie if she could hold me and
she did but when the man got me loose, he
threw me out of his way and as we left he
was rubbing his knee.”
He asked girlie to give him that dog, or
sell but she was too angry to answer him
politely. She took me up behind her (on the
horse), as my leg hurt me so much but I did
hope that the man’s leg hurt worse. That
was the only trap that I was ever in.”
Well, Yip is an amazing dog. He is also a
pretty good storyteller. We will have more
on Yip next week.

MUSEUM
LIPSCOMB,TEXAS
Museum Happenings
Georgia is busy arranging a Lip-
scomb County Sports display. Items on
display range from the 1896 town team
photograph to present 2013 teams. The
exhibit has photos, trophies, uniforms
and equipment through the years. It
promises to be an interesting and fun
exhibit. All you former team members
need to visit and give us some sport sto-
ries for our archives in order to bring
these items alive.
Spring is almost here because our
snow birds are returning. Dorothy and
Vernon Schoenhals came back last week
and she promises to return to us soon.
As usual, we have projects waiting. We
are in the process of locating and sub-
mitting a grant that will complete the
funds needed for our expansion building
project. If you have experience in grant
writing or funding projects and would
be willing to assist us, please contact us.
Any help will be appreciated.
Historical Musings
Last week, James Coverdale visited
the museum and examined the military
photograph that we have displayed of a
company of soldiers that we had no infor-
mation on. James examined the photo-
graph noting insignias, etc. and left stat-
ing he would research the information.
He has found that the photo is one
of the companies of the 359th Infantry
90th Infantry Division. The photo was
taken at Fort Dix, New Jersey, on Feb-
ruary 22,1944, while the unit was train-
ing for deployment overseas. He also dis-
covered that the 90th Infantry Division
was a U.S. Army Reserve unit that was
activated during World War II and later
deactivated at the end of the war. Their
patch is a red “T” and an “0” that are
lying sideways. This “T” and “0” stand
for Texas and Oklahoma, from which the
unit drew most of its men. Their motto
was “Tough Omres” which is also taken
from the “T” and “0”. He noted that
there are a few Native Americans in the
photo.
He also was able to determine that
the unit in our photo is an “A” or Alpha
Company of the 359th Infantry. He also
located the appropriate website that we
can communicate with to try to identify
the men. However, if you have a relative
who served in this unit during this pe-
riod of World War II, come by and see if
you can identify him.
Having volunteers like James is a
treasure to the museum. Thanks James.
