Billy the Kid in Decatur Texas?

[MissyS]

I found this interesting mention in the book; Fannin County Folks & Facts published 1977. on page 147 of a man named Robert A Cooper that saw Billy the Kid in Decatur Texas. if Robert A Cooper saw the Kid while hauling rocks for the construction of the Baptist College, interestingly it was built in 1898

I also find it interesting that Brushy mentioned working for a Tom Waggoner breaking horses in Decatur.
