If that is my daddy, Cotton Durham, how did they get him on a Democratic mule. - Tucker Durham Hume
Thanks, Tucker Durham - This photo is teaching all of us a lot about our heritage. Your Daddy wasn't a Democrat? I remember that there was a Republican or two in the county back then - Haskin Coomer and a Nell or more - from Gradyville. We learn so much every day. Thanks. One might suspect that known Democrat instigators like one of the Flowerses, Dohoneys or Greater Gradyville Walkers might have lured Cotton onto that Democrat Donkey. (I don't think Grover Gilpin had made it out of Gresham at that time, or had he? Had he already won WWII and made it back to Columbia?) He would be another usual suspect. - EW
