Note: To The Public

On August 17th 1889, Mr. George Mauer turned over to me ten dollars, from sale of old bridge lumber, and took my receipt for same. I failed to give the county the proper credit, and Mr. Mauer is being held responsible for the omission. The error was wholly my own, and Mr. M. is in no manner responsible for same.

R. T. Bradshaw, T.F.C.

Referring to the above THE JOURNAL would state that Mr. George Huebner who took up the lumber referred to and replaced it with new, informed THE JOURNAL some time ago that there was between ten thousand and twelve thousand feet of said lumber, and that Mr. Mauer asked him in the presence of Henry Nollkamper, who afterwards purchased it, how much he considered it worth; that he told him he considered it worth at least fifty dollars; that they separated and shortly thereafter the lumber disappeared from where he had piled it, and he afterward learned that Nollkamper bought it for $10; that he had left under the impression that the lumber would be advertised and sold at public auction to the highest bidder.

If there was as much lumber as Mr. Huebner says there was, THE JOURNAL thinks it was worth more than $10 for kindling wood. [La Grange Journal, October 30, 1890]

Geo. Huebner

This country has furnished numerous instances where men with only limited education, but with practical sense have risen to the brightest walks of life. Not schooling, but practical common sense is the key to success. Geo. Huebner is and eminently practical man. During his early years as a teamster he had the chance to become acquainted with the ways of life. His shrewd observation developed in him a sound judgement. On the road, from his fellowmen and from nature, but not from books, he gathered his information. His knowledge comes from the first source. And he not only has a fund of practical knowledge, but also knows how to express his views with energy and clearness. He is an interesting talker. The writer has heard with deep interest his views on road building and road improvement and he must confess that he never has heard sounder views on this subject than those expressed by Geo. Huebner. But not only on this, he has sound views on almost any question. From 1898 to 1900 he served one term as county commissioner. When he retired from this office, declining to stand re-election, it was the general verdict of the people that they never had had a better commissioner. The writer agrees fully to their verdict and is of the opinion that a better man, a man with sounder judgement and greater common sense can not be found for that office. Geo. Huebner was born at the Bluff settlement August 16, 1851. His parents were John A. and Pauline (Willrich) Huebner. They came to this country from Germany while quite young. His father came from Bavaria, and first immigrated to Texas in 1836, but on account of Indian raids he went back to New Orleans without settling in Texas. He returned in the early 40's and then settled in the Bluff settlement where both parents remained till their death. Geo. Huebner worked with his father on the farm, went to school and drove team. He acquired quite a reputation as one of the most skillful teamsters of the county, for it required skill to handle six to eight teams of oxen. After the war, he married Miss Lisette Warnken, the daughter of a prominent old settler at the Bluff. This union was blessed with six children: Louis, Helene, Annie, George, Ellie, and Augusta. George Huebner is a prominent successful farmer of the county. From 1898 to 1900 he served the county as commissioner which office he filled with great efficiency to the satisfaction of the people.

Two Surviving Members of Fayette County Ox-Team Caravan to Mexico

Memories of the days when great cotton caravans meandered through miles of bandit-infested mesquite and cactus to bring fantastic profits to their owners still live vividly in the minds of George Huebner and John Speckels now living in La Grange. These two are the only living survivors of the Fayette county crew who so deftly handled ox-teams with the chant, �Haw�, �He�, and �Gee.� The redoubtable two have lived to see this mode of transportation superceded, first by railway, then by truck, and now by the unbelievably fast air express. Not that they are impressed by these fast moving contraptions. Oh, no! They see in the slow moving ox-teams which they so skillfully manipulated, disciplinary value to the young entirely absent in the breezy transportation used by the younger generation. In fact, these stalwarts attribute much of the jazziness of the present generation to the devilishly fast machines which enables the young folks to be �On again, off again, gone again, Flannigan.� These hardened ox-team drivers further contend that the hazardous occupation of hauling cotton to Mexico during their �teen years when boys of today haven�t yet finished high school, developed in them brawn and grain and fortitude to see a disagreeable thing thru. These two boys, all in their eighties and as tough as pine knots, are brilliant examples of the efficacy of their �take �em young and treat �em rough� theory. George Huebner, one of the two who did teamstering duties during the sixties, has a remarkable memory and a ready flow of picturesque words. He lives about twelve miles from La Grange on a rich black land farm, an inheritance from his pioneer father. Near his home is the burial ground of the unfortunate Men of Mier, who were executed in Mexico and those of the Dawson Massacre. Members of the Huebner family were present at the burial in September, 1848. Until recently, Huebner�s physical vigor was a match for his alert mentality. A year ago, against the advice of his children, he attempted to break a wild horse which promptly threw him. An injured leg now hampers his movements but in no way diminishes his remarkable energy. Huebner has no patience with the mamby-pamby �finickyness� of the present generation. �I wonder�, he says, �How they would have survived just one trip to the Mexican border.� He made five. �The dust�, he continues, �was awful � like a dense cloud. We looked like mounds of earth slowly moving along.� Huebner�s description of the dust menace is borne out by a story appearing in the Houston Tri-Weekly Telegraph of April 29, 1863. �The drought extending from the mouth of the Rio Grande to within thirty miles of the Nueces, has proved to be the most thorough vegetation destroyer of any kind that has visited the country in years. The country begins to look as if seared with red hot irons. Surface water sink holes give a feeble supply of water highly impregnated with offensive gases and saline properties. Oxen by droves are falling by the wayside, never again to bear the yoke or put their shoulders to the cotton loaded wheels. Rain we must soon have or the transportation jig will assuredly be up; the dust of the earth filling the eyes, nose, mouth and hair � making one feel gritty often and dusty always � dust of which a man eats his peck monthly and breathes daily � a terrible, inhuman, diabolical dust. A kingdom for a shower is the standing offer.� And not a shower bath, girls. In his smooth flowing style, Huebner tells the following story of his cotton hauling experiences: �Slave owners in Fayette county gave the Confederacy all the cotton they could spare. Those not owning slaves were forced to suffer confiscation of one-half of their cotton crop. Hauling cotton was a branch of military service that found favor among some Fayette county citizens; for, in spite of the long, hazardous journey, it was safer than serving in the army. Before being permitted to haul cotton, the teamster had to procure a detail, a contract with the government which pledged the teamster to haul at least five bales of cotton to Mexico, the round trip not to take longer than three months. The contract provided that certain contingencies such as a broken wheel, lost oxen and failure to secure food for the animals would be considered legitimate reasons for a tardy return. Some of ----------------- abandoned the ox-team, and proceeded on by steamer to New Orleans where they joined the Union forces. These men later drew fat pensions. Christian Lomaun, and expert ox driver of the sixties, whose partner left his ox team in Brownsville, performed the unusual feat of driving back both ox-teams from the border. Since it was impossible to maintain a check on the drivers, killing time systematically was the order of the day among some of them in order to increase the time between trips and to postpone compulsory military service. The teamsters received for services rendered, twelve cents per pound of cotton transported � but in Confederate money. Fayette county teamsters hauled to Mexico not only cotton raised in Fayette county, but also cotton that was raised in East Texas and in Louisiana. Cotton raised in these two sections was not hauled directly to Mexico, but was dumped at certain convenient concentration points, from which, it was relayed to its destination. These points were Alleytown, Bernard, Columbus in Colorado county, and La Grange and Round Top in Fayette county. There were two cotton agents in Fayette county, Judge J. C. Stiehle, stationed in La Grange, and A. Meerscheidt, at Round Top. Cotton sent to Fayette county was hauled to one of the following places for re-shipment to Mexico: Brownsville, Mier, Rancho Davis, Laredo or Eagle Pass. A cotton convoy usually consisted of from three to fifteen wagons. From five to seven yoke of oxen were necessary to pull one wagon. It was necessary for teamsters to take along sufficient food for the entire trip, for often food was not available. Procuring enough food for men and oxen was often quite an undertaking. The difficulties of the Confederate, state and county governments were by no means ended when the cotton had been hauled to the border. Here the cotton was likely to seized by the Mexicans, the Federals, or even by the Confederates. On one occasion a convoy of eighteen wagons from Fayetteville was captured by Mexican bandits. The Mexicans stripped the teamsters of everything - - cotton, wagons and ox-teams. The men had to thumb a ride home or walk. Bryan Lane, an unfortunate member of this party, was killed by the Mexicans and, as a warning to future teamsters, was buried with his hands and feet sticking out of the ground. The Fayette County Commissioners in 1863 conceived the idea of buying cotton and selling it to Mexico for relief of the county�s destitute war widows and orphans. In accordance with this plan, they bought thirty-two bales of cotton from William J. Russel to haul it to Mexico. At King�s Ranch, the party was seized by General Bee, who had been forced to evacuate Brownsville as a result of the Federal invasion. Negroes, teams and cotton, according to Russel, were impressed into service by General Bee, who compelled Russel to sell him the cotton at fifty cents per pound, Confederate money. When Russel made his report to the Commissioners� Court, they agreed to let him keep the money given him by Bee as a remuneration for freight charges. Still another large shipment of cotton that was a total loss to the owner, belonged to William Neese of Warrenton. He had sent thirty-eight bales of cotton to Mexico with the following teamsters in charge: J. C. Moss, F. Holman, Conrad Tieman and Mano Garbardes. In Brownsville, Neese�s cotton was taken away from him by order of General Brown, the Federal Commander in charge of the Forty-third Indiana Infantry, the Sixty-second Ohio (a colored regiment), and the Second Texas Regiment. It was the colored Major of the Ohio contingent who actually took possession of the cotton. The fraud in the cotton business which aroused such indignation among the soldiers and patriotic citizens of Texas was not entirely absent in the Fayette county teamsters� trade. A Confederate law prohibited teamsters from carrying more than ten bales a trip, and special agents were placed at Flatonia and at Gonzales to supervise the transportation. By splitting with them, it became an easy matter to arrange with the agents to carry an extra bale or two, and with cotton selling at forty cents per pound, such a rascally procedure was highly profitable. The second of the surviving teamsters, John Speckels, eighty-five, and a peppy as a sophomore, recalls that the Confederate government sponsored the first trip of cotton hauling that he made to Mexico. The ------ unsatisfactory schedule, Speckels, explained, was due to the fact that the necessary food for the men and oxen through the long desert stretches along the last part of the journey was not promptly furnished by the Confederate government. During the waiting period, perhaps the most satisfactory of all to the men, hunting parties were organized, which netted rich bags of wild turkey and plenty of deer. Deer and turkey meat with rye coffee and bread made a satisfying meal. The Speckels lad was unfortunate and contracted measles on the trip. A rain storm came up and the sick boy spent the night trying to hold a flapping wagon cover back in place. He suffered a relapse and as a result his hearing today is slightly impaired. The exhausted men and oxen finally reached Eagle Pass. The place named as a cotton depot by the Confederate government. Here the Confederate officials ordered machinery to be placed on the wagons and delivered in San Antonio on the return trip. A sturdy band of German farmers, all neighbors of his father, were Speckel�s next companions on a cotton hauling trip to Mexico. By agreeing to turn over over one-half the profits to the government, Speckels secured permission to take cotton to Mexico. The hazardous journey was safely negotiated. The cotton was sold in Rio Grande City for thirty-one cents per pound. The youth carried the money paid him for his father�s cotton (in Doubloons) safely in his belt. The same financial success that attended Speckels� trip to Mexico has followed him throughout life. His business ability has made profitable all his ventures. Speckels, in addition to the part that he played in transporting cotton during the Civil War, has assisted materially in the industrial development of Fayette county. He represented his county in the State Legislature during the years 1895-97. Brownsville, on Texas soil, and Matamoras just across the Rio Grande, on the Mexican side, formed the hub of the contraband cotton trade during the war days. These two places became the Sodom and Gemorrah of the Southwest. It was said of Brownsville that it was at that time the rowdiest town in the most lawless state of the Confederacy. And Matamoras, her sister city and Mecca for the riff-raff and adveuturers of three nations, did her worst to outdo her American twin in sin. As a result of the cotton boom, Matamoras mushroomed in population from eight thousand to forty thousand almost overnight. Men made millions in the cotton business. The Stillman and Ranger fortunes are brilliant examples. The Ranger Brothers bought 650 bales of cotton from the Willis family in Houston, at six cents a pound. The Willis� were forced to sell at a sacrifice to prevent confiscation by the Confederates, but neither side could confiscate cotton owned by Gus. Ranger because he was a German Jew and an alien. He carted the cotton at once to Matamoras, from whence he succeeded in shipping it to England when cotton prices were at their peak. He was said to have received the fabulous price of a dollar and eighty cents per pound. He became later one of the �cotton kings� of the world. People from every corner of the globe rushed to Matamoras, lured thereto by fantastic tales of immense fortunes made with effortless ease. Union sympathizers and draft evaders drank beer with cotton agents, importers and merchants of all nations. There was just one person who was �persona non grata� and that was an abolitionist. Any person was privileged to shoot him down at sight, and all the year-round was open season on these vermin and conviction for such sport was unknown. Business was good in Matamoras during the war. Importers who opened with well-stocked shelves often had to close within a week because their merchandise stocks were completely sold out. The town was filled to overflowing with goods of all descriptions, and people rented and moved into thrown-up shanties. Even then, constantly arriving merchandise could not be housed. Owners were forced to stack their goods on the ground and expose it to nature in the raw � which is never mild. Ingenious Yankees shipped in a big lot of tarpaulins which were hired out to the merchants at a dollar a night. Harrassed merchants used them to cover a valuable store load of imported goods. Such is the picture painted by George Huebner and John Speckels of the thriving business in contraband cotton hauling and trading between Texas and Mexico during -------- .

"Death Claims Aged Native Born Citizen of Fayette, Monday"

Although in failing health for the past ten days, yet ever in a cheerful mood, even until Sunday night, and entertaining visitors in his usual friendly manner, George Huebner, one of the oldest native born citizens of Fayette county, died at his farm home shortly after the midnight hour of Sunday. He seemed to know, however, that the oil was fading fast, and accepted the responsibility with grim resignation. George Huebner was an interesting character; born on what was in the early days of the county known as the Bluff, on a farm November 6, 1851, he grew to manhood on that farm. During the more than 84 years, in which he lived in Fayette county, he was very observing and knew much of its history, which he ever delighted to refer to when visited by relatives and friends. George Huebner was a mere lad when he became a teamster in 1863, and one of which carried cotton into Mexico. To dwell on the incidents of that period would require several columns, yet the Journal refrains not from saying that his recitals of those days, when it required nerve to be a teamster and when one had to forever remain on guard against the seizure of the staple he was hauling by either the Confederates, the Federals or the Mexican governments. Yet, all turned out well, and the then young man grew in body, and in mind. When death claimed George Huebner, it took the last member of the teamster force in this county; his fellow teamster in the days that tried men's souls, was John C. Speckels, who died last year. With him was buried Tuesday, the voice that often, very often entertained those who were seeking history and adventure stories. After the civil war closed, and reconstruction days followed George Huebner returned to the farm and remained thereon; he was united in marriage with Miss Lizetta Warnken, early settlers of the Bluff section, and farmed on the same farm first settled by his father. To this union ------- children, the first born dying in infancy. The living children are: Louis and Miss Helen Huebner of La Grange; Mrs. Forrest (Annie) McMillan of Ballinger; Geo. L. Huebner of Lane City; Mrs. G. W. (Ella) Albrecht of La Grange and Miss Gussie Huebner, R.N., of San Antonio. Surviving also, are one sister, Mrs. Eliza Richers of Bay City and three brothers, Andrew, Louis, and Franz Huebner, all of near Bay City. George Huebner was the first to break the family tie of children born to his parents. There are also nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild, and several nephews and nieces. George Huebner, prevailed upon to make the race for County Commissioner of Beat No. 1, entered the race and was elected and served for one term (1899-1900) refusing to stand for re-election. In closing the reference to an honorable and life-long citizen, the Journal refrains from giving many of the interesting incidents of the eighty-two years in which he lived only a short distance from La Grange. In bidding him to rest, we have given the last respects to one who lived in the immediate vicinity of La Grange, ---------- the good of the county. May he sleep peacefully. [The La Grange Journal, Thursday, May 7, 1936]

Card of Thanks

We wish to express our sincere thanks to all of our neighbors and friends who took such consoling interest in our bereavement, when death claimed our beloved father, Geo. Huebner. We are especially grateful to Rev. Guy B. Duff for his services at the home and grave, the choir for their songs, the Baptist W. M. S., the Presbyterian Auxiliary and the American Legion Auxiliary, and many others for their kind deeds, and each and everyone for the beautiful floral offerings, our sincere thanks to all. May God bless you!

His Children. [The La Grange Journal, Thursday, May 14, 1936]

An Aftermention

One of the last words an editor has to say when death comes to the home of a good citizen, is that the tribute given was not in fault. To comfort and console and if possible to point out, while the veil of sorrow hangs over the household, the justness of the departure. Incidents of the life of the deceased are chronicled because of fact. Last week two of the county�s oldest citizens died, their passing was mentioned in the Journal; with that respect one merits when deeds are done in the span of years one lives, these men were remembered and many were the friends to join the relatives in that last tribute. These two men were Geo. Huebner of near La Grange and Kossuth Zapp of Walhalla. Remarkable that the edict had to be issued within the hour, and that these two, each past 84 years of age, should journey together to shores unknown to mortal. Both were elected to serve the county as commissioners from their respective precincts, and both served at the same hour. During the years 1899 � 1900 they were a part of the Commissioner�s Court of Fayette county. Both were born in the year 1851, both experienced the pleasure of witnessing continued growth and serving the county in which they were born. When the hour of the funerals was on, and the good ministers officiating at each of the funerals paid the welcome tributes, the doors of the courthouse were closed, mute tribute, yet appropriate; the locker on the East entrance door of the courthouse was ornamented with the flow of crepe. Question not the reason; these two pioneer citizens, native born, had been allotted more than the usual three score years and ten; they left us an inspiration, the influence that prompts man to believe honesty is the best policy. Rest in peace! [The La Grange Journal, Thursday, May 14, 1936]

La Grange Woman Is Fatally Injured In Automobile Accident

Miss Helen Huebner, owner and operator of the Helen-Marie Beauty Shop on Colorado street, died in the Bastrop Hospital Tuesday morning from injuries received in an automobile accident that occurred Sunday afternoon. In the automobile with Miss Huebner was Mrs. Roy Head, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hlinsky and Miss Lillian Hartmann. Pitcher Hlinsky had fulfilled a contract to pitch in a ball game at Temple. The accident has been described to the Journal reporter in several ways, each different; it appears, however, that in driving on the highway, following a rain, the machine skidded, when near Bastrop, struck the loose shoulder of the highway and crashed down the 15-foot embankment. When help arrived it was fund that Miss Huebner's injuries were such as to warrant her being rushed to the Bastrop Hospital a mile or two distant. Mrs. Head is, as this is being prepared for the paper, a patient at the La Grange Hospital, and is in a dazed condition. When visiting the Hospital she could not be seen by the reporter, who was informed that she was to be denied all visitors for the day. Mr. and Mrs. Hlinsky and Mrs. Hartmann received minor injuries. While hopes were entertained that Miss Huebner's injuries were not as serious as reported, these hopes were shattered when Louis Huebner, a brother, and Miss Gussie Huebner, a sister, returned to La Grange late Monday with the statement that "it was, according to their opinion, a matter of hours." Miss Huebner died Tuesday morning. Mrs. G. W. Albrecht, also a sister, was at the bedside of the patient. Miss Huebner was the eldest daughter of the late Geo. Huebner, who died last May. For the past eight years she conducted a beauty shop at her home in this city, and was very successful. She is survived by two brothers, Louis of La Grange and Geo. L. Huebner of Bay City; Mrs. Forrest (Annie) McMillan of Ballinger, Mrs. G. W. (Ella) Albrecht of La Grange and Miss Gussie Huebner, R.N., of La Grange. The body was brought to La Grange, Tuesday and taken to the Koenig Funeral Home, and later to Miss Huebner's home, where funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, Rev. J. E. Roth officiating. Interment was had at the new cemetery. [The La Grange Journal, Thursday, September 17, 1936]

Louis Huebner, 70, Expires Suddenly

Louis Huebner, 70, passed away suddenly near La Grange late Saturday of a heart attack. Mr. Huebner had been to his farm, about seven miles south of La Grange, and was enroute to his home here when his pickup became stuck. He evidently exhausted himself trying to extricate the vehicle, and then sent a Negro for help. When the colored man returned, Mr. Huebner was slumped over in the cab. Peace Justice Lloyd Dippel held the inquest and rendered a verdict of death due to natural causes. Mr. Huebner was born in the Bluff community on April 14, 1877, and had been a resident of this area all his life. He was never married. Funeral was held Monday at 2:30 p.m. at the Koenig Funeral Home Chapel with Dr. Guy B. Duff officiating, and burial was in the New City Cemetery. Surviving are two sisters, Mrs. Forest McMillan of Ballinger and Mrs. Gus Albrecht of La Grange; and one brother, George L. Huebner, Jr. of Lane City. [The La Grange Journal, Thursday, December 25, 1947]

Card of Thanks

We wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to all for the many kind deeds extended us at the passing of our dear brother, Louis Huebner. We especially wish to thank Rev. Guy B. Duff, the Koenig Funeral Home, those who sent the lovely flowers and who extended their sympathy in other ways.
May God bless you.

Note: LOCALS AND PERSONALS
Mr. Taylor Huebner was in from the ranch today and reports a good crop of everything, which he says is the very best he ever saw. Cotton, corn and rice crops are all first class practically everywhere, Mr. Huebner said, and the county will reap a large and profitable harvest, provided no calamity befalls us. [The Matagorda County Tribune, June 28, 1918]

M. T. Huebner Died At Clint

A telegram was received here today from Clint, Texas, announced the death of Mr. M. T. Huebner who has been in the El Paso section for the past several months in the interest of his health. Mr. Huebner was afflicted with tuberculosis, but was getting along fine until pneumonia sat in a few days ago. The telegram stated that the funeral will take place in El Paso. Mr. Huebner was the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Huebner and was reared on the Huebner plantation near here. Besides his parents he is survived by his wife and four children. This paper will endeavor to get a fuller account of the life of Mr. Huebner for a later issue. [Matagorda County Newspaper, November 18, 1927]

On the night of November 17, 1927, at 11:45, the Pearly Gates of Heaven stood ajar and a gentle voice whispered, �Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joys of thy home eternal,� and the great spirit of Marion Taylor Huebner crossed the bar and joined his mother who had been waiting 13 years for him. He was a man with charity towards all and malice toward none; was loved and respected by all who knew him. As a husband he was devoted and faithful; as a father, kind and indulgent; a loving son and brother, and as a friend, loyal and true. Just 46, and they say he is dead. Not so, for nothing dies, but all things live on forever, they disappear from our mortal sight but they are living in a cleaner atmosphere, a higher altitude. Death is only a short avenue through which we must pass before entering the broad plain of eternal life. It is only the sifting of the veil, only the taking of a single step when the green pastures and fountains of living. We who loved him cannot understand why he was taken away when he was needed so, but we do know that God makes no mistakes and that he will not comfortless His children who trust Him, for �

�He fights for us when cannot fight:
He comforts us in the darkest night.
The sorrow that bares us down, He bares,
And loves and pardons because He cares.�

He leaves a loving family, many relatives and friends who will ever miss him, but who, in god�s own time, will join him beyond the Bar. �Till such a time, Lord, teach us all to say: �Thy will be done.� Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2:30 in the Kaster & Maxon chapel, the Rev. R. S. McKee officiating. Burial was in Evergreen cemetery. Floral offerings were lavish and beautiful. ---- waters, where God shall wipe all tears away.

Note: Innovator and Farmer Top Huebner Dies

Marion Tolliver (Top) Huebner, 68, died at his home Sunday noon, August 1. He had earlier in the morning worked in his field and when he came in the house he told his wife Jean, to wake him at noon as he was going to take a nap. Presumably death came as he slept. Top Huebner was born in Bay City, March 3, 1908 to Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Huebner. He was third generation in the Huebner family whose farming and ranching operations in Matagorda County began in the 1880�s. Top Huebner followed in that tradition and soon after his graduation from Bay City High School in 1926 his responsibilities assumed adult proportions as his father died when Top was in his teens. During World War II, Top served four years with the Sixth Seabees where he saw much action in the Pacific theatre, especially in Guadacanal. His four years in the Seabees gave him a great opportunity to use his unusual talent and knowledge of machinery and shop work and to improvise when necessary. An innovator, a dreamer, a perfectionist, he turned his knowledge of machinery to practical use when he returned to farming. He was among the first to invent, improve and use portable jack-knife rigs. He devised many labor saving devices and was ever experimenting to produce more and more yield from his acres. In 1956 he was named the outstanding rice farmer of Matagorda County. Six years ago he began to see the possibilities of using the Laser in contour work in the rice fields. He perfected that usage and initiated its many benefits in Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi. Besides his widow, Jean, he is survived by two sons, W. A. (Bill) and D. T. (Doug), and two grandchildren. Also surviving are two brothers, Robert of Buffalo and Raleigh of Bay City and one sister, Lucille, Mrs. Robert Wilkinson. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. D. O�Neal at the First Presbyterian Church, Monday afternoon at 2 o�clock. Interment was in Cedarvale Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations be made to the heart fund.
