At the 2:40 mark, Dad talks about one of the old EFC bags.
This is a video I made on my most recent trip to Headland. My cousin Natalie joined Kade and me on this romp around the old fertilizer plant and grounds. Warning: The commentary is borderline silly! One of the most interesting shots I was able to get is of the Methodist church cemetery, taken from inside the plant.

Allen - you do a terrific job with your blog, your videos, etc.!!! Beverly
I’m thrilled to hear of your interest in chronicling family history. You have much fertile ground to till! About the Cock of the Walk Plant…I have no data but I do see it often because as you know, it’s just across from the Methodist Cemetery and my dad is the informal grounds’ manger of this site! When I’m in LA, we always visit and typically he tells me of all the family connections on the grounds. When next you go south, I’d urge you to take him there for a stroll-around. Although many of your deceased relatives are east in the Baptist plot, more are in the Methodist resting grounds! Bill Vann, Feb. 2008
