Mr. Galloway served in this capacity until 1925, when the Texas Power and Light Company bought the light and power interests, engaging Mr. Galloway's services for the next few years.
 
Mr. Galloway was made Manager of the Longhorn Cavern of Texas October 1, 1933, which position he still holds. He also is a director and cashier of the First State Bank of Burnet, succeeding his father as such at the time of his death.

There is only one thing which we hold against "Hob" , as he is called by most of the population of Burnet, and this is that he by remaining in the blessed state of bachelorhood, has deprived some young lady of a mighty fine husband."

GUTHRIE, J.H.
  1. Newspaper clipping, source unknown, dated 1952; "Mr. Jim Retires as Demo Chairman in Burnet", with pictures of Guthrie Taylor and J.H. Guthrie.  Summary:

J.H. Guthrie was born in Burnet in 1881, graduated from Burnet High School and taught school near Burnet for five years. His father, J.H. Guthrie, Sr. came to Texas from Virginia during the post-Civil War period. He was a Confederate veteran and was with Robert E. Lee when he surrendered at Appomattox. He settled in Fayette County, but came to Burnet County and bought a ranch in 1876 east of town.

       2. Newspaper clipping, date and source unknown: "Even at 80--To Town She Goes on
           Horse". The story:

Mrs. Henry Guthrie, who operates a ranch five miles from Burnet, recently celebrated her 80th birthday by riding horseback to town. "You get a different perspective of things from a horse and I enjoy it more than the view one gets from an automobile," she said.
 
It was the first time that Mrs. Guthrie had ridden to town on her birthday in ten years. She injured her knee in 1944 while sitting on a horse, talking to a neighbor. A dog chased some hogs and this frightened the horse. He pitched so violently that her knee was injured. Afterwards, she rode home through the pasture. When she dismounted to open her pasture gate, she was unable to remount. The likelihood of anyone visiting this part of the psture was remote. Mrs. Guthrie said she began to pray. In some manner she finally managed to remount. She firmly believes that she was able to do so as an answer to her prayer.
 
It was erroneously reported that Mrs. Guthrie had been thrown from her horse. She still resents it. "I was never thrown from a horse in my life and I've ridden since I could walk," she said indignantly.
 
Mrs. Guthrie moved to Burnet County from Troy, Ala., with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Stanford in 1881, when she was six. Her father was a Baptist minister. They located on a farm near Bertram. She went to school in Bertram and taught there after a year in Baylor College. She was married in Bertram to Henry Guthrie in 1896 and came to live on his ranch near Burnet. She has lived there ever since.

Her husband died in 1928 and she took over management of the ranch. She says she loves it. "I would not live long cooped up in town and my children have let me have my way," she adds.
  
In addition to her love for horses and her ranch, Mrs. guthrie is devoted to her church. She is an active member of the Burnet First Baptist church. She has been president of the local WMS, also president of the WMU. She has taught the TEL Sunday School class for adult women for 20 years. Ordinarily, she does not come to town on a horse, but drives her car.

The Indian party were shooting at him and one of the arrows hit the stock of his gun, knocking a chunk out of it. He knew then that he had to kill some of the Indians.

"As far back as I can remember, my Mother and my Grandmother told us the stories of the War between Texas and Mexico. They told us of our ancestors who took part in the "runaway Scrape" and Dawsons Massacre. Finally the death of Grandfather Zadok Woods and the capture of Norman, his son. Norman was wounded in the battle and taken down towards the border, evidently Presidio. After a month for recuperation he was forced to walk about 40 miles to San Fernando. There he took to his bed again for 2 months. Another 2 months and he was at the Powder Mills near Mexico City. These mills are no longer used for making powder, are still standing. Still another 2 monts and Norman was at Perote. Most of this trip was made by walking. Now the distance is easily driven in 2 days or an hour by plane." ...two more pages of description of the place at the time of Norman's imprisonment and more recent uses, such as a German concentration camp for POWs during WWII.

  2. Resolution of Remembrance from the Burnet County Historical Commission dated 8 May 1990, gives a brief accounting of the life of Jimsey Husted.

"She was born Jamie Lois Duncan in Burnet County, the granddaughter of two soldiers in gray, Green Duncan and James G. Cook, from whom she probably inherited her willingness to stand up and fight for the things she believed to be right. She was the great-granddaughter of a circuit riding Methodist minister, Valentine Cook, and she was true to that faith throughout her life. She was reared in Burnet and was always one of us, loving the land where she was nurtured. In 1936 she and Chester Cuthell Husted were married, and their children are Harris Duncan Husted and Jamie Akenhead."
