1.5. Pearl Spurlock in a 1927 Hupmobile. No
identification on card, but sign on car says Shepherd of the Hills
TAXI. The sign sappears to list popular destinations, probably related
to Harold Bell Wright's book.

2. Pearl Spurlock "Shepherd of the
Hills," Guide and Lecturer, Branson, MO Payne. On

3. "Highway Down Dewey Bald,
Shepherd of the Hills. Payne,
Branson, MO." AZO card, about 1931. The words,
("Payne" and "Branson" are almost impossible
to see in the lower right corner.) In her 1936 book, Over The Old
Ozark Trails, Pearl says, "My husband, G. F. Spurlock, lately
deceased, and myself, came to the Ozarks during the [First] World
War [1914-1918]. We bought a garage in Branson, the only one
here at that time. We had a couple of Ford taxis to make long
drives, and as I had nothing to keep me at home, I spent most of my
time at the garage with my husband." As noted below, this
card was probably printed in 1931, when Pearl Spurlock had been a
professional tour guide and taxi driver for 11 years. And she has
apparently switched from the lightweight Fords to larger, heavier,
more powerful and softer-riding Buicks. |
 |
3b. Enlargement of car in photo above,
a 1929 Buick. The sign on
the roof of the car says "Shepherd of the Hills - TAXI - All points
in the Ozarks." Pearl Spurlock is visible driving the car, along
with three passengers. |
 |
4. "Pearl Spurlock--Shepherd of the Hills Taxi. 11
years service." [The car is a 1929 Buick.
If the car is two years old
in this photo, then the card was made in 1931 and her Taxi business started in 1920.
That would fit the introduction to Spurlock's book, first printed in
1936, which says she had been running the taxi business for 16
years,] |
