As I listened to the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra play Feb. 15, at the Graham Memorial Auditorium, it dawned on me that I had never heard a symphony orchestra play in person. I have been to musicals and ballets where a small orchestra played in the pit below the stage, but this was my first full symphony experience. It will not be my last.
In 1941, R. Bernard Lunn (1909-1982) and his wife Pauline (Hayley) (1907-1980) purchased the lot for the house and immediately executed a mechanic’s lien with R.S. Scott and George F. Scott to build the house for $ 3,700. Bernard was a member of the W.N. Lunn Family. Pauline was the daughter of K.H. Hayley, whose house at 202 S. Ave. D has been reviewed in this column. The Lunns married in 1927, and Bernard was a former mayor of Olney and served in World War II.
As I look around and reminisce over the treasures” I have stored away for the future generations, I am overwhelmed. I have good intentions, but nothing is in a particular order and certainly not stored neatly so that any family member might enjoy the discovery of the randomly stored memories.
In 1917, J.E. Harrell and wife Joye conveyed several lots in Block 6 of the Bloodworth Second Addition to Mrs. G.W. Cosby as her separate property.
