RIP TORN & "SISSY" SPACEK
Cousins from Granger, Texas
by John Troesser
It's a fact that they're cousins. Rip was known as Skip as he was growing up in Granger. He returns to Granger from his farm in Connecticut from time to time, but it's usually on the sad occasion of funerals. Taylor, Texas claims Rip in their chamber of commerce brochures and Fayetteville, Texas has an 8x10 glossy of Sissy in their little museum. That's because Sissy's great-grandfather once owned a huge two-story house just off the square in Fayetteville. He sold it and moved to Williamson County, where his son and eventually Sissy were born and raised. When Rip got in the movies, he may have mentioned to Sissy during his visits home, that it beat working. Anyway, she checked into it and before long, she became Carrie. Eventually her name became more of a household word than her cousin's.
Directions:
In Granger and Hwy 95, turn east on E. Davilla St and go out of town about 1 mile. Turn right into first entry for Granger City Cemetery (through Arch) and go to first cross roadway ("Holbert" headstone to left. Turn right and park near "Messer" headstone on right.
To the Letterbox:
Walk to bush behind "Messer" stone. Box is in the middle.
Hike length: 0.1 miles
Distance To Letterbox: 25 yards
