This issue of the Pine Bough Magazine features photos and stories from a variety of collections. Readers can learn about Diboll's founder T. L. L. Temple's relationship with Church of Jesus Christ, Scientist founder Mary Baker Eddy and the pair of horses he gifted to her, which she later returned. Music lovers can also read about legend Jimmie Rodgers and his visits to Lufkin. Also featured are some of the History Center's favorite logging photographs. The scrapbook pages feature a range of photos and topics, including the mill towns of Pineland and Wiergate, buildings in downtown Lufkin, school classes and events, musical groups and entertainment venues, additions to our exhibit on the Klu Klux Klan in Angelina County, and highways and transportation images, among others.
