      San Antonio Texas - June 2010

The Original Well - and Transplanted Oak Tree in Alamo grounds.

 

In trouble with the LAW again !!!

The Alamo was bought in 1884 for $25,000 and used as a "store".  The Hugos of Hugo Schmeltzer are

ancestors of friends of mine - the Powers family.  The store was sold in 1905 for $85,000 to

The Daughters of the Texas Revolution - who - under the guidance of Clara Driscoll -

restored the "church" and the grounds immediately surrounding - about 1 acre.
