I was at Canton Trade Days today, and bought an old ledger for $7. In it I found the ledger of W. C. Farrar, and his company in Loraine, Tx, The Auto Supply Station. I've found his grave at one of the Colorado City grave along with his wife Minerva Farrar. If anyone has any info, maybe a picture of the supply station in Loraine, when it was in use in the 20s or a picture of him would be great! I love this kind of stuff and would like to know more about this guy. Also, if anyone who reads this is related to this family, feel free to email me. Im sure you would like your Grandfathers/Great Grandfathers ledger!

My great grandfather Thomas Wiley Phillips died 1913 at Westbrook and is buried there. He was a Mason and probably a Baptist probably living with his son John Wesley Phillips at the time. I think TWP would probably have had an obituary in a Mitchell and/or Howard County TX newspaper.If you can find it please let me know. --Doyle Phillips 6-9-2011
