Calaboose in Lott, Texas (June 2, 2015)

I received a comment from Bill Strangmeyer who claims he spent a night in the calaboose in Lott, Texas in 1961.  His crime was a “spirited disagreement with the local Constable.”  Mr. Strangmeyer read the article entitled “The Texas Calaboose” that I wrote and was published in the June 20015 issue of Texas Co-op Power magazine.  He disagreed with a statement that I made that he interpreted as all Texas calabooses were gone by 1950.  What I said was “My review of Sanborn maps failed to turn up one calaboose still standing after 1950 that was not vacant or being used for another purpose.”  There was no Sanborn map for Lott at the time.  Therefore, I cannot confirm or contradict his statement.  His comments are greatly appreciated and I encourage more of the same.
