Gomer Trivia:
Did You Know: Besides Gabby Hayes stopping in Gomer that the gunman, John Dillinger, had a room rented in a house across from the Gomer School that he frequently stopped by for 1-2 days each year? His room overlooked Lincoln Highway and the owner of the house commented that he always paid his bill ahead of time and was very quiet and respectful. (Story from a longtime Gomer resident)
