Ernest Lee & Jewel Cave
by Donna Cave
My sister, Carol, and I
lived with our parents just outside Brownfield. I lived there
from
1947 to 1963 and Carol lived there until 1961 when she married. Our father,
Ernest Lee "Skeeter" Cave, was a preacher at Pleasant
Valley Church.
He also farmed the A. T. Fowler place. The old jail that was on
the
property was not
just used for storage but housed the
workers who came from Mexico to work the fields.
Many of the same people came back year after
year to
work
on the farm for my parents.
Daddy and our mother, Jewel, were
well
thought of by the workers.
