Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Schrimsher
Elks Are His Game
Jerry Schrimsher and his wife, Louise, moved to
Throckmorton with their family in the fall of 1971. He bought the
Teague Gin from Mrs. Jo Teague and began to gin cotton on a
regular yearly basis. Last year, the times were prosperous and
he ginned over 1,700 bales. This year is a different story, how-
ever, and as of the first of the month just over 100 bales had been
ginned.
But he doesn’t let it get him down, he says, especially when he
has an opportunity to go elk hunting in Yellow Pine, Idaho.
“Been going up there every year for some time now, and enjoy
every minute of it.” Jerry just recently returned from there and
lie said he “had a ball. Even though I didn’t see an elk.” Just to
get away to the mountain air and the ruggedness of the elk
country is enough to invigorate any man and to do it every year
works a special quality into a man that shows up even in his
every day work.
Jerry and Louise have “enough children to bait a trot-line”
and that they are close-knit is evident. Margaret Staples, 27,
iives in Midlothian; Barbara Lipps, 25, lives in Killeen; William
Seliim, 21. lives in Stephenville (“he keeps things going back
home”); and Greg, 7, attends school here in Throckmorton.
Tin Schrimshers came from Stephenville where they have
another gin that’s not operating this year, 100 head of Holstein
dairy cows, t)0 head of stocker cattle, and 40 acres of peanut farm

A little girl, being asked by a priest to attend
religious instructions, refused saying it was against
her father's wishes. He said she should obey him and
not her father.

father and mother,'' she said.
“But you are to call me Father, " he said. “No sir, ”
