The Historical Book Committee of the POC Service Club is avidly seeking information concerning the First Families of Port O’Connor; those that can trace their residence here as of December 31, 1929. We urge members of the following families and others to share with us photos of the early families, physical addresses of residences and years of residence, stories with times of their involvement in POC life. Information regarding the School, its location and teachers, and grades attending is also desired. Also, information concerning the stores, entertainment, churches; primarily, what the daily life was in the first 20 years in the developing area of our coast.

We are seeking information from some of the following families and any others during that time period:

The Whittaker, Raby, Munsch, Goldman, Lewis, Hawes, Ragusin, Harris, Villareal, and Apostalo families and relatives.

If you prepared a “board” of your family with story and pictures for the Centennial, perhaps you could share some of that information with us. And if you or any of your relatives have data or photos pertaining to this time period and are willing to share, or know of others who resided here then, please contact our President, Janet Johnson, 983-4733 or Sue Kubecka, Chairman, 798-0560. All information and photos would be carefully and professionally recopied and returned to the owner with much gratitude.
