Community History: “”My knowledge of this place is due to Bertha Sadler Means of Austin, where she is known as a local civil rights activist, an educator, and an owner of real estate and a cab company. She was interviewed in recent times by Bruce Blackwell– available for viewing at YouTube — wherein she states that she was born in Valley Mills TX, which is down the way from listed freedom colony Rock Spring TX. Her grandfather, a former slave, established the church in Rock Spring.”””
