This division on the TEXAS & PACIFIC RAILROAD went
west from Texarkana to Clarksville, Texas, to Paris, Texas,Bonham, Sherman,
Whitesboro,Denton, and on to Ft. Worth, Texas.
You will note the dates at the end of each name, this
being the
date of employment.
You will also note that some of these men stayed with
the railroad
as long as they could physically work. One story Mr.
Woodard stated
was one engineer said at age of 75 years young that
if he could just
last another ten years, he would have his family pretty
well set.
The very earliest date that we have listed for this
division of the
railroad Was 7/12/1884.
You will also notice that in some of the list their
names appear more
than once as they advanced from firemen up to engineer
as did
J. P. Zimmerman hired as fireman in 8/2/1908 advancing
up
to engineer 1/19/1920.
This old record was published by the First State Bank,
Bonham, Texas.
The Guaranty Fund Bank - Capital $200,000 with a surplus
of $100,000.00.
President, T. B. Williams; Vice President, T. R. Caldwell,
Vice President, M. C. Spivey, and Cashier, I. W. Evans.
