Comfort, Texas calaboose (06-27-15)

Charles Fiedler read my article in Texas Co-op Power magazine and informed me of a calaboose in Comfort.  I had heard that one was there but the locals I talked so said it was not true.  Here is what Mr. Fiedler said.

“I thoroughly enjoyed your story and have been looking through your posts. I was disappointed to find out that you had not identified the Calaboose in Comfort, Texas. It is a two cell concrete structure that is situated on 7th street just south of Main Street. I believe it was converted to a pump room when the WCID#1 built the water tank next to it in the 1930’s. I distinctly remember my mother telling stories about it when I was a kid walking home from the movies on a Saturday evening. I bet someone at the WCID would know the rest of the story.”
