Notes for Ida Belle Alred: Each year on Memorial day would place flowers on graves of Bank Robbers because she said somewhere they had a mother who loved them.
Buried in Riverside Cemetery
Taken from Pioneers Remember The Past: Address in 1932, 1915 Grant. Came to Wichita County in summer of 1885. As a girl, I remember a dam built across the Big Wichita River, just above where the Ohio St. Bridge now stands. There came a rainy spell. The river got very high. It was washing out the rock dam. My father, W. D. Alred at the time was working for Mr. George A. Soule in a Livery Stable. He took us down to the river in a buggy to see the high water. While we were looking at the river, the horsed became unruly and came very near backing the buggy off into the river. I remember that incident very distinctly. About 1887, my father moved with his family to where Electra now stands. He built a little two room shack which we occupied several years. That makes our family the first to live in Electra, TX. The place was called Beaver Switch at that time. During my father's first residence in kWichita Falls, he drove a Stage line to Benjamin, TX while working for George A. Soule.
