CROUCH, MOORE, GASTON

 

Across the Fence

By Arvord Abernethy

 

December , 1980

 

 

Hamilton will be having another fine suburban home in the not too distant future. The Dr. Crouches are having a new home built out Highway 281 about three miles north of town. It is located just north of the Lee Parrish home.

 

Their home will be a five bedroom, two story brick with a basement. The house is built on the slope of a hill which makes the basement easily accessible either from the ground level or through the house. A porch goes completely across the front of both levels and then goes into a large balcony off the second floor across the south end of the house. This will make an excellent place for outdoor living, as it will be shaded on the west and open on the south and east to catch the summer breezes. The house is located back from the highway in a fine group of oaks.

 

The outside of the house is practically finished, but it will be some time before the Crouches can move in.

 

Don Thomas, a brother-in-law of the Crouches, is the contractor, but he does not get to put in full time on the work, and he will be the one to do much of the finish work.

 

Mr. Thomas was a contractor in New Mexico when he received an injury that made it nearly impossible for him to continue in that profession. He is here now, and, while directing the work on the house, he is also taking a pre-med course at Tarleton State University .

 

The Crouches have two daughters, Sarah and Esther, and a son, Mark, who are also students at Tarleton.

 

 

The people of the First Baptist Church were happy to have their former pastor and family, the George Gastons, back with them for a service recently.

 

One didn’t have to guess which college he attended when he “announced” that Baylor University would be playing in the Cotton Bowl this year. But he worked it in real well by stating how determination to win had led to victory, and that the church should have a determination to win under the leadership of their new pastor, Tim Moody, when he begins his new ministry on December 14th.

 

You will probably he hearing other local Baylorites “announcing” that Baylor will be playing in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day.

 

Speaking of the Tim Moodys, they will move to Hamilton this week and will be living in the Travis Moore home at 403 W. Baker. This is one block south of the Hillcrest Nursing Home. The Travis Moores are living in their new home on Navajo Trail in the Indian Oaks Addition. It is located between the homes of Pastor Wuensche and Danny Sparks.

 

Remember: 28.349 grams of prevention is worth 453.592 grams of cure.
