Coleman, Texas in 1939
Support Local Coleman County History Preservation
In 1939, a film was made in Coleman, as a fund-raising
project for the Lions Club, with the result being shown at the Dixie
Theater. This film survives today and
has been made into a professional DVD for home viewing. Each scene has been marked and can be
accessed directly on the DVD, without going through the whole movie. Today, this movie is like a time machine, as
it shows us a glimpse of the past. A
booklet of over 50 pages has been written by local historians, Judia and Ralph
Terry, describing each scene with much additional information. Although many people have been identified,
many remain unidentified. Some of the
scenes shown are: Commercial Avenue, Downtown Coleman, Courthouse, City
Buildings, City Park, Kiwanis Club, Chamber of Commerce, West Ward School,
Lions Club, Nehi Bottling Plant, Burton-Lingo Company, Armory of Co B - 142nd
Infantry, First Coleman National Bank, South Ward School, Coleman High School,
Coleman Business Women, Earth Moving Machines, Coleman Steam Laundry, Nunley’s
