STORY: by Ottie Damron Simpson:
 Mr. & Mrs. J. H./W. Damron lived across the Street in  Banket
when Elmer and Delmer Simpson were born.  Mrs. Damron made the
first clothes for Elmer & Delmer when they were born.  Ottie
Damron Simpson recalls, she was 15 or 16 at the time.
When Elmer & Delmer were young boys, Barnett had a team of oxen
named Tom and Jerry, which he used to move houses.  He hauled the
lumber for the home in Blanket from Ft. Worth.
When approached for a loan at one time by an acquaintance, who
offered Barnett a note in return, for purchase of a horse and
saddle he was told "Never mind the note, if you don't pay-up,
I'll just whip you.
Barnett Simpson traveled by "double buggy" to Missouri to wed the
widow Archer.
 He picked up a marriage license enroute, in Laclede Co., Mo. and
married Louvina Jane Lane Archer in her place of residence.  They
returned to Blanket with the four Archer children, much to the
surprise of his first family.  He had not told them the reason
for his visit to Missouri.
Elmer & Delmer won a $5.00 Gold Piece in a Baby Contest at the
Brown County Fair when they were about a year old, ca 1906
