| Historic house in Ponder |
One of our small communities has had a rather
infamous history. According to local legend, Bonnie and Clyde tried to rob the
Ponder State Bank the week after it went broke. This may not be true since it’s
not listed in the Barrow Gang's activities; the robbery may have been attempted
by another outlaw, Eddie Bentz. This didn’t prevent movie makers from filming
the Bonnie and
Clyde in the north Texas area with some of the actors and other workers
visiting Ponder during their time in near this town.
