Twenty seventh convention TCRA key to the city El Paso, 1903.
The El Paso County Historical Society received a donation from Mr. Kelling of Corpus Christi, Texas.
Mr. Kelling purchased “a box of junk in Corpus Christi” and found stamped brass “key to the city” inscribed with “Twenty seventh convention TCRA key to the city El Paso 1903.” The TCRA was the Texas Cattle Raisers Association and is now known as Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association.
He contacted the Historical Society to donate the key and have it preserved.
Mr. Kelling was stationed at William Beaumont General Hospital from 1962 to 1965 and says he has found memories of El Paso and Juarez.
