THIS IS IT
I love connecting with people who have taken life by the
horns and run with it and this is exactly the case with Carol
Davis, she wrote:“Driving along one day on the
shortcut from Cat Spring to my
family ranch in Fayette County,
just a few miles from Ellinger, I
glanced at a hay field and
noticed an old dilapidated
farmhouse, abandoned and
porches falling down from
neglect, shingled roof falling
in. Intrigued by the sight, I went
from neighbor to neighbor,
trying to find out the owner.
I finally found someone who
knew, a Gene Ruhmann, living
in Clute, Texas, at the time.
Sparing you the boring details,
