Scrapbook page with a photograph of several men standing in a loose semi-circle, with two hounds in the foreground. Horses hitched to wagons are visible in the background. A handwritten note below the image says "About 60 yrs ago, people who were picked up and put in jail worked their fines out by working on the roads. They were chained together while they worked. And bloodhounds were carried along. (This picture brot. [sic] by the "Rose Twins" Bertie & Myrtle, 1960)." We think that this might be a photograph of Lawrence T. Fox, who was in charge of the chain gangs, and his two bloodhounds, Lula and Lottie. Mr. Fox was "appointed foreman of Chain Gang No.2" in November 1896.[Record and Chronicle, Nov. 13, 1896] Bertie and Myrtle Rose were sisters, born in 1887. The use of chain gangs for road repair had been instituted somewhere around 1887 and was seriously criticized by the Denton County News on August 20, 1908, as being a waste of taxpayer money and providing poor road repairs.
