Dryden & Pumpville, Texas

Located on U.S. Highway 90, which is also the Pecos Trail in southwest Texas, the ghost towns of Dryden and Pumpville were born of the Galveston, Harrisburg, & San Antonio Railroad. While tiny Dryden still reports a population of 13 and a post office, there appears to be no residents in Pumpville. However, its lonely church still welcomes a congregation on Sundays.

I have pictures of the pump station at Pumpville. My dad ran the pump station in 1926-1927 His name was Roy Petersen and worked for the railroad.

I also have pictures of Pelham Bradford who was the postmaster and was shot in the leg during a holdup;
