Ada Lee (Richmond) Chisum
Richmond family
Ada Lee Chisum relates family lore extending back to her grandparents moving to Texas in the late 1800's, moving to her father employment for the railroad in Yoakum, Texas and transition to the plumbing business. She tells of early McAllen’s development and speaks a bit about the soldiers stationed in McAllen, her father’s business Richmond Plumbing Company, the Great Depression, and the Old Timers Club.
NOTE: Listening with headphones is recommended. Audio is clear with both the subject and interviewer speaking clearly. There is a point where the audio is defined in volume, and there is a periodic ringing of a doorbell or a chime of a clock in the background.
