DEANVILLE, Texas â Between 1854 and 1930, nearly 250,000 homeless and orphaned children living in New York City were placed on trains that delivered them all across the nation, according to organizations such as Children s Aid of NYC.
These little train passengers were destined to become either indentured servants, or adopted children. At least 12 of those boys and girls were dropped off at train depots, in Burleson County. They had such a rough start coming from New York on the train, said Patsy Simek, board member with the Deanville Heritage Foundation in Burleson County. And itâs important for their family thatâs still living, to have a complete history of their parent or grandparent.â

Ranchers need to keep in mind that the wrong quantities of minerals can be dangerous or even deadly to cattle, said experts from the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.
When it comes to cattle and minerals, what works for a rancher 700 miles away may actually work better for you than what works for a neighbor 7 miles down the road; it all depends on what is in your soil, supplements, feed, forage and water supply.
