enclosing a picture of a happy-faced
quartette and a lamb that was being

champion lamb of the 1946 show was
bid in for this record price by the Ye

We are publishing a delayed report
end tribute to our dear friend, tne
late Tom Sneed, who passed away
several weeks ago. We could- only
make a short notice at the lime.
The Passing of T. J. Sneed
Thomas Jackson Sneed , son of the
late R. S. and Malinda Kerr Sneed,
was horn January 1, 1872, -on the
Sneed homestead eight miles south-
east of McKinney in the Willow
Springs (Lucas) community, where
he grew to manhood, married and
reared four children to college age.
Tom Sneed, as he was familiarly
known, attended the Lucas public
school. On January 1, 1894, his 22nd
birthday, his father died. Tom as-
sumed the responsibility of the farm
homestead.
On July 21, 1901, he and Oda Bow-
man, daughter of J. C. Bowman, were
married at the Bowman homestead
one mile east of Lucas, by the late
Rev. Mack Cook. To them four child-
ren were horn, Vera Sneed. Fred
Sneed, Hugh Sneed and Eunice Sneed.
After his mother’s death in 1919, he
bought the interests of the other
heirs and continued to live there un-
til 1921, when they moved to Waxa-
hachie to give their children the ad-
vantages of Trinity University.
Tom was a man who dignified
labor,, serving an all-purpose life in
I1 is and The surrounding communities.
Never curious but ever understand-
ing, be served widows, orphans, his
own family and his wife’s family as
administrator. His community lodges,
cemetery association, school and
churches chose him as guide rather
than leader in their midst because
of his ability to harmonize peace and
order through, understanding,. All
through the fifty years on the old
farm he attended Parker (Corinth)
Presbyterian Church. As a young
man he took his father’s place as an
elder, also serving as Superintendent
of the Sunday 'School a quartier of a
century. Was a constant Bible stu-
dent until the day of his death. Even
when his hearing was so impaired
he scarcely heard a sentence, he con-
tinued tc attend both church and
Sunday School. While he was in a
class with Trinity University In-
instructors and professional men, Dr.
Hogan, referred difficult passages to>
him for Interpretation.
December 26,' 1945 after a
moments illness, he quietly
asleep just as he had expressed
desire to do when his time came.
With his two sons safely home and
his devoted wife and daughters
making homez supremely happy for
him he joyously ended his labors.
At eleven/o’clock, December 28, at
the Rudolph Funeral Home, the re-
tired pa?,tor, Dr. Hogan, spoke a few
words oy comfort, while the pastor,
Dr Earl/ Morgan, concluded the ser-
vices. A former Trinity vocal teacher
sang one of his favorite songs, and
gave aj violin solo. At two o’clock
the bocjy was tenderljr carried to- the
grave at Forest Grove Cemetery by
the following six nephews: Jerome
Sneed, ■ Jr., Austin, James Snider,
Brady, jRobert and John Klutts, Dal-
las, Junies P. Boone, Houston, and
Billie Eneed, Jr., San Antonio. A quar-
tet of his former Sunday School boys
and girls sang another favorite song
of his at the graveside service.
All the surviving brothers and sis-
ters tyere present as follows: J. H.

vs. Edward Jack-
After more than 60 years of. con-
stant service, the big old livery stable
on East Virginia Street, which had
been owned by the late Sterling Cof-
fey over 50 years has been razed.
It was erected about 18S6 by the
late Judge M. W. Johnson, who rent-
ed it to Sterling Coffey when the lat-
ter moved to McKinney from the
Forest Grove community. Sterling
fitted up his stable with the finest
new buggies and carriages, and kept
the handsomest horses in the city. A
livery stable was later established by
Jesse Shain, who erecled a one-story
brick building on the lot just across
the alley from where the Interurban
building is now located. Mr. Coffey
bought Shain’s fine business, moved
to the new brick stable, combining
the two outfits. He rented his build-
ing to his friend. Bill Kendall, Tmo
conducted it for several years.
Mr. Ccffey owned all the block on
which his stable stood. He erected
that big brick building known as the
Ford House, where the Ford Auto-
mobile Company has been operating
for many years with Sam Smith as
the efficient local manager. The Ford
Company has leased the entire block
from the Coffey heirs for a pericd of
five years. And improvements, in-
cluding buildings and a high steel
