What I am going to write this from my memory of stories my mother Luvena Baughman McKnight told me and as I have gotten older I find that I wish I had written them down as time has faded them. Mother had a picture of my Great-Grandfather and family when they stopped to visit after they left Arkansas in the early 1920's I think. My Grandparents Albie and Martha Baughman lived in Texas. When Amos and family left Arkansas they were on their way to New Mexico to a ranch or farm they had bought there, sight unseen, upon their arrival they discovered the property had been very misrepresented and they found it to have only a dug-out to live in and very little else. They tried to make improvements for awhile but it was too far from water and little grass for the cattle. It was not long before they gave up and moved to Texas....Amos Wallter farmed for many years in the Green Valley area in Denton County, Texas and after retirement he moved into Aubrey, Texas and lived there for the rest of his years...The things I remember about him and my step-g-grandmother are they had a beautiful yard and a porch swing which I loved, that was a big deal for me as a child...they also had a large orchard and he still stood on a ladder when he was in his 90's to prune the limbs of his trees...And my great-grandmother always had home made cookies that she had just baked...
