Thera was a good attendance from
Jacksboro, Graham, and the it

the ant occasion was made of it by all
jin attendance. A munificent supper
jwua spread about 11 o’dsek, to which
in'all did justice. They “danced all

parted happily—bestowing up their
host their hearty thanks for the
royal manner in which all were en-

The. subject of our sketch was
born is Kentucky in 1861. He came
to Texas in 1868 with his parent*
who settlad in Parker County. In
the rail of 1878, MY. G. W. Fora,
John Fore and Tom Rihhle cam* to
Young County and took M»p a alairn
in the Tonkawm Reservation in
Gooseneck Bend. John and Tom
being single men could only pr*empt
80 acres, so they found a nice 160
acre tract aad built a house on the
line as lumbar jvas scares and had
to be hauled from East Texas. One
time they had keen back to Parker
County on business and whan they
came back they found a man had.
set up a camp on Mr. Fore's Tract.
Uncle Frank McLaren had come up
from Palo Pinto, he and Mr. Dick
Jewell, and had the land east ef
Tom Kibble. He knew that Mr.
Fore had taken up that piece of land
and had a half house on it to he
went with John to see the man aad
he moved off.
