"The depot was a telegraph station where telegrams were sent and received.  You could hear the 'tic-tackety-tic' as you entered."

"The colored waiting room was for black people."

"1917-1918 - Troop train - World War I soldiers were transported (through La Vernia) from San Antonio to Houston.  I remember waving at the soldiers at the train windows as the trains went by.  I was 8 yrs. old."
