James and Martha stopped for a few years in Texas where their oldest child, Samuel Thomas Elmore, married Rosa Lodema Williams. Samuel and Rosa had their first two children in Texas.
James & Martha and family, and Samuel & Rosa and family purchased a herd of cattle in Denton, Texas and drove the cattle up the trail to Baca, Colorado where they arrived prior to July, 1907, when they homesteaded side by side, tracks of land for each of them.
The ranches were steadily improving until the area was blanketed by the devestating Dust Bowl storms of the 30's. The fertile grass lands were blown away and the barren devestation destroyed all remaining livestock and caused the ranch closings.
James & Martha had eight children which six of the children are listed under family links. I do not have cemetery locations for two additional children who I assume are buried in Colorado:
Beulah M. Elmore 1884-1907
Charles Oscar Elmore 1892-1940
All of Samuel & Rosa Elmore children are listed below in family links section.
