Flames after Midnight: Murder, Vengeance, and the Desolation of a Texas Community

I found it very interesting. My Grandmother and Grandfather raised my mom and her brothers in Kirvin. I heard of the killings all my life. We were told Kirvin was a booming town at one time, but never saw it. We were there in the summers. My Grandmother and Grandfather lived next door to Butch and Inez Carter. He was mayor of the town for years. Mr & Mrs Adams had a store on the corner from the Baptist church. A little farther down from it was a grocery store and feed store run by Henry Wynn. There was an old gas station on the corner across the street. There also was an old train station across the railroad tracks from my Grandmothers' and Grandfathers' house. I visit there from time to time. When my brother and I go back, we will try to find some of the remains of the old buildings. Out on the highway to Fairfield, Teague, and Wortham was a little gas station the is still there. It was owned by a man named Gype. My Grandmother and Grandfather are buried directly across from the girls grave. Found this very interesting.
