NOTES: Pam & Bob - Conversation with Molly Hallmark, wife of Wm Jackson, April 1963: William Raymond, son of William Jackson and Molly, was killed by a train in California. 3 killed & 1 crippled, just died recently. At a big fishing dock in California, there were so many cars, had to park back of railroad track... there was no room to turn around, so they backed over tracks. That particular train didn't stop at this station & didn't even blow his whistle. Something hid the train from their view... when they glanced back & saw it, yelled for them to jump & cripple did. Didn't even have door open - hit the ground & train was over them. The one boy, Roy Parks, was only one to be saved... his leg was broken. Raymond's son, Raymond Herston, lived in San Antonio 1963 - Pam called & talked to him. He was called Herston after his father was killed. Mollie could not bear to call him Raymond any longer. William Raymond's wife [Zula] lives in Cherokee, Texas. Herston lives in Llano.
