McKinney, Texas
Railroad Depot 1960


Emerson Cottage was located at 204 S. Kentucky Street in McKinney, Texas at the turn of the century.
Standing at the front is the proprietor, Johnnie Bagley Waters next to her husband, James A. Waters. Mr. Waters owned and operated a shoe store on the square in McKinney. Their children, next to them dressed in white, are Billy Waters, Jim Alice Waters, Pearl Waters, and Evelyn Waters. Pearl Waters later married Addison G. Wilson. Pearl and Add's youngest child was named after Pearl's sister, Evelyn. Evelyn Wilson Cole is my mother. We think that the elderly gentleman sitting on the porch just to the right of Evelyn Waters is William Marshall Bagley, the father of Mrs. Waters. —Kenneth Cole, webmaster
