Hello and welcome back to “Breakfast with Mom”

In 1878, the Dowdy family packed up their belongings and headed off to start their homestead in the hills of the Texas Hill Country. However, their dream of starting a new life quickly turned into a nightmare when four of the Dowdy children were brutally murdered. This unfortunate event is known as the Dowdy Family Massacre.

Thank you all for joining us for breakfast.  We hope you have a great morning, afternoon or night.
