- Among those thousands of sturdy pioneers who migrated by wagon trains from the states of the Old South, facing the perils of the trail, undergoing Indian raids, floods and untold hardships, was Taisie Ellen Halley. Born a native Texan and orphaned by the Commanche Indians as a babe, she has lived her young girlhood with her grandparents in Tennessee. Now, at eighteen, she was going back to Bell County, Texas to start a new life with her childhood sweetheart, Kirk Ellison.
