garden. Schools were built, sewers installed and streets
paved. Later he served as deputy sheriff and at one time

- Shopping in San Angelo. Residents of Blackwell
did most of their shopping in Sweetwater. However,
First Monday of the Month Trades Day in San Angelo was also considered
a very important day. Harry's Grocery specials were cost-savers
for rural people. Out-of-town shoppers usually parked in
the Sears parking lot for free. However, if the Sears lot
was full and one had to park on the street, coins were left under
the windshield wiper on the driver's side for the parking meter.
Visitors received a ticket which said:"Thanks for shopping
in San Angelo. Come back soon." The coins under the
windshield would remain in place all day--never used, never stolen.
Last stop was Gandy's Creamery where workers would pack purchased
ice cream in dry ice for the long drive home.
