Two Rivers "Sandbar Histories"
The following is an excerpt from The Blind Reverend Boulet Written by Betty Dunn "Imagine being a handsome 15-year-old teenager with the colorful world before you, and then be ill with a fever for a few days to wake up blind. That is what happened to Joseph Eugene Boulet in early April 1888 at his family home in the Rose Hill community near Tomball. After a long wandering road, he met the challenge to serve Anderson as the minister of the historic Baptist Church for over 20 years." To read this entire article and more from "Two Rivers Sandbar Histories" you can order the book. Contact Betty Dunn at blhd83@gmail.com or Lynn Hildebrandt at rendezvous120@gmail.com to reserve copies. (Mail orders will be $23.50 each.) Each week we will endeavor to showcase excerpts from each of the writings from the book. So check back often to see portions of the 'treasures' it contains.
