One Texas Night

Epilogue

Wynn and Anna McCord built one of the finest cattle ranches in Texas. When she died at the age of seventy-four, her husband and four sons placed her in a grave on the ranch. The stone at her head read, To my angel, Anna McCord. One more time, “I love you.”

Wynn McCord joined his wife less than a year later. Everyone agreed that once she’d gone he was never really alive.

The great-great-grandchildren of Anna and Wynn still work the ranch today. If you ask any of them why they always settle on the McCord land when they marry, they all say the same thing. McCords stay.
