Bibliography/Sources Cited:
1. Sterling, Claudine: My loving wife, who took all the
pictures for this website. Even when it meant trespassing on private property. She also endured the
constant grumpy attitude that this pain-in-the-butt assignment often put me in.
2. Flach, Jerry: My uncle, and local rancher who provided the interview
for this web site. Jerry was a great source
of information regarding the history of Comfort.
3. Sterling, Danny and Aveline: My parents,
who provided me historical information
about Comfort, newspapers, and whereabouts of historical areas in the town. They also provided their home for
the Jerry Flach interview.
4.The Comfort Heritage Foundation: Margaret Morries to be specific. Who
provided me with past editions of "The Comfort News"
newspaper, as well as other helpful literature. Which was the basis for 90 percent of the text information
on this web site.
5.The Comfort News: Comfort's proud newspaper, which
provided me with most of the facts stated on the this web site.
Specifically, the "Comfort 150th Jubilee
Edition" that was given to me by Margaret Morries. That special edition
newspaper dedicated roughly an entire page to document the timeline
of important events in Comfort's history, from 1846 to 2004.
6.Guide to Comfort's Heritage and Progress: Revised
and published by the Comfort Heritage Foundation. Once again, provided by Margaret Morries. This
book was a wealth of information on early history, as well as historical sites, homes, and businesses.
7. The Kerrville Mountain Sun: All the newspaper articles
and pictures on my Flood page of this website, were all taken
from old Kerrville Mountain Sun newspapers loaned to me by Jerry Flach.
