the livery business with the late C.H. Hawkins. He suffered a broken limb during a disastrous fire that destroyed a portion of the block west of the court house, and as a result, the limb had to be taken off. the left him almost a helpless cripple, and for some time after he recovered he was in charge of the telephone exchange here. He later moved to Bardwell and four eight years resided there, and during a portion of that time served as City Judge of the town.
