Incidents in the Life
Of a Pioneer Merchant
By H. A. NOBLES
In the early days or the Pan-
handle the little border town known
M* Amarillo was first located on
the bank ol a lake west of the
present site.
The Ft. Worth & Denver Railroad
was built through thus little burg in
1887 and 1888, and Potter County
was organized in those years. H.
B. Sanborn laid out the present
town in the 1890 s, gave lots in the
new town to owners of lots in the
going up at the corner of Twelfth
and Pierce Streets and remarked,
"There is a man building a resi-
dence in the country and thinks he
is building in town."
The first block paved In Amarillo
was on Polk, between Fourth and
Fifth Streets. It was paved with
brick and had about a 13-inch con-
crete base. Mr. Lightburn was may-
or then. The first continuous paved
sidewalk in our village was on the
west side of Taylor Street, from
old, and moved residences and store sixth to Thirteenth Street. H A
buildings from the old town to the Nobles got up the petition for that,
new, free of cost. Thus started the « #
new town of Amarillo. -j^e first three churches built In

The Denver depot was built in the
old town and a courthouse was
erected, both remaining for several
years. The courthouse was used as
such in the old town. Finally court
was moved to the Bivins Building,
on the second floor.
In January, 1892, H. A. Nobles
came to Amarillo, and his brother,
M. C. Nobles, followed in February.
Mr. Wooten was doing a general
mercantile business on the north-
west corner of Fifth and Polk
Streets, where the Bivins Building
stands. M. C. and H. A. Nobles
bought a half interest in Wooten's
business with a capital stock of
$16,000. The firm was known as
Wooten A; Nobles Brothers and
opened its doors as such to Febru-
ary, 1892.
Smith <fc Walker did the largest
business and Wooten Nobles

Nobles Brothers bought out Woot-

In the early nineties Amarillo on
a bright spring day was almost al-
ways in a mirage, a lake of water
reflecting every building in Ama-
rillo, and every man, woman and
child if out in the open. Their
shadows were reflected in the lake
by the miragt, and a more beauti-
ful and perfect picture was never
conveyed to the human mind. A
beautiful scene passed and gone.
Why, we do not know.
Amarillo was the greatest cattle
shipping point in the world in the
latter part of the century; thou-
sands upon thousands of cattle were
shipped from the little cow town.
In the spring, looking west for miles
and miles, many cattle held for
shipment, could be seen. It looked
as if the vhole earth was moving |
north. This was a daily occurence.
Every day we saw herds coming1
from hundreds and hundreds of j
miles for shipment.
Now. we live and dream over these j
old days when we were building an |
empire.
J. M. Vernon opened the first |

Warren Blackburn sold H. A. No- j
bles two sections of perfectly level j
land for $125 each. That was a I
good price for land in the early j
Nineties. This was under the law ;
that set the price at $2 per acre. I
Afterward, the state thought $2 was
too high for this land and reduced
it to $1. H. A. Nobles did not think !
the land was worth $2 per acre and
let it go back to the state.
Even in the early Nineties Atna-
. niio blocks were divided into 150
j foot lots, four lots to the block,
j South of Twelfth Street, a quarter
block sold for $100. or $400 for
[ the full block. South of Twelfth
Street one saw nothing but open
prairie, with only a few scattered
buildings.
Dave Gowin, deputy sheriff of
Potter County, owned a section of
land six miles east of Amarillo filed
on at the $2 price. He left Ama-
rillo and tried to deed this to some-
one, but they would pay only $2.50
for a deed, so the land went back
to the state, and under the $1 act
it was again filed on. A number of
years ago it sold for $20 an acre.
We have lived about 50 years in
Amarillo and the Panhandle. We
have lived happily and prosperously.
We have endured loneliness, true,
but we have also looked across the
plains, reveled in their beauty and
prosperity in good years, and blazed
a way for civilization—an empire
for future generations. We have
borne the burden, carried the load.
Then. w-hy should a new generation
that has never seen the plains call
it a dust bowl?

FLU IN ODESSA
E. V. Graham, Odessa: "In Feb-
ruary of 1918, when influenza was
raging, the doctor at Odessa was
stricken and the doctor at Midland
could spare us only two hours a day.
There was not enough people on
their feet to wait on those in bed.
All the commissioners were down,
but I was up, and, as county judge,
I thought I ought to do something.
I consulted the commissioners,
phoned Fort Worth, and had two
doctors and six nurses sent out at the
expense of the county.
The only prescription clerk in
to'-n became ill. too. One from Mid-
land was sent for. but he also was
taken down. Bv that time, however,
t' e first one was better, so we took
drugs to his house and went there
to get prescriptions filled . . It
was a bad time, but few patients
were last after help came."
Lubbock and Clovis, New Mexico.
A. G. Stanley was connected with
Nobles Brothers for a number of
years.

now have 18 branch houses.
P H. Seewald was the first Jew-
eler in Amarillo, accumulated a good
sum in that business, was active in
civic affairs and a great asset to
this little village in every way.
The first waterworks in Amarillo
was pumped by windmills. Mr. Tuter
was manager of the system.
The stock pens were northwest of
Amarillo on the Ft. Worth & Den-
ver Railroad.
A big herd of Eastern cattle was
unloaded at the old stock pens dur-
ing a cold blizzard, when ail the
lakes in the Panhandle were frozen
over. Cowboys broke the ice around
the west side of the lake to water
the herd. One old cow led the way
out on the ice and 143 cows follow-
ed. In the middle of the lake the
rattle began to mill. A large block
of ice broke through and all those
144 head were drowned, a clear loss
to the owner. This was in thr
'Nineties.
In Amarillo there was a lake of
water from three to five feet deep,
extending from Seventh to Tenth
Street along the edge of Polk, and
west beyond Harrison. This lake
was drained by placing pipes about
16 .'eet under ground.
Will A. Miller was then ma or of
Amarillo.

now stands, the Santa Fe General ;

days theje would have stood In a
lake of water. The first, school
building stood on the west bank ol
this lake. Judge W. E. Gee. now
judge of the 108th Judicial District,
was the last superintendent of this
school and the first superintendent
of the Red—a brick building then at
Twelfth and Polk Street. This struc-
ture has since been torn down and a
new one erected.
Two tenderfoots who had never
seen a chaparral chased one across
the prairie between Eleventh and
Twelfth Streets, across Taylor, Polk
and Tyler out to the west for a
mile or more, before they caught on
that the chapparel was just having
a Sunday evening stroll across the
prairie.

early days, every town could not have

were not enough people to make up

of them. It was suggested that Au-

of celebration, and that the dav be

By ALMA McGOWEN THOMPSON
There was born in Memphis,
Tenn., many years ago a child who
wa.< to brighten the middle-aged un-
ion ci parents who had each entered
a second marriage. That child was
Laura V. Hamner who came to the
Panhandle in 1891.
Miss Hamner, who was reared
virtually alone, says that her par-
ents made themselves young to keep
her from being lonely, and that
hei mast cherished childish recollec-
tions are of evenings spent in play-
ing games with her parents—queer
games, a child of today would think.
In the glow of the lamplit parlor a
bi • atlas was placed upon a table.
Fom this the father, the mother,
and the little girl in turn sought the
names of inconspicuous small towns
which the others were to find. The
little girl shrieked with laughter
while her -parents hunted in vain
for the location. Then, at last, when
the town had been "found." the
child took her turn at "finding."
"It was terribly hard sometimes for
me to find my town, but never was
help accorded me, and never was I
allowed to give up. From that game
I learned a lesson and formed a
lr bit that has helped me all my
life."
While Laura was still a child, an
epidemic of yellow fever broke out in
Memphis, and the family hastily
moved out upon a plantation. Here j
the child grew up in an atmosphere j
of freedom.
"In my outdoor life I was given j
the freedom of a boy—you s-ce, little j
girls in those nays were supposed to I
be tenderly sheltered, and women
were horrified at th merest sugges-
: tion of tomboyishness. But I was a
! tomboy. My mother wished me to
| have the sunshine and fresh air of
\ t.,i - outdors, and have it I did. There j
; wasn't a little boy in the neigh- i
borhood who could climb a higher ;
tree, or one more quickly than I.'
"I had attei d the Alabama j
St- "t school for one year, but now
entered country schools which j
were most irregular; but my mother •
Taught me, and so well that when we j
did move back to Memphis I was ]
■.veil in ac'. ance of my age. Then j
I entered a private school, 'Miss
Higbee's School For Young Ladies,' I
w ..ere I did four years' work in
\ three and graduated. After finish- ;
| in that school I entered Peabody
College at Nashville where I re-
ceived a degree called a '1.. 1.'—LI- |
centiate of Instruction. Had I gone
I a year longer I could have obtained j
n '. B degree—have always wish-
ed I had."
♦ m •
The story of how the Hamner j
family came to the Panhandle
makes an interesting story—one
which the present generation will
| fail to understand, but one which is |
perfectly comprehensible to the old- I
| timers.
"My half-sister had married a j
j young medical student. Upon his
J graduation he took a map and pick-
J ed out a place where he thought a
| good opportunity might be found
! for his practice. His was a 'scien-
j t.ific mathematical procedure.' Upon
I th. map in the Panhandle of Texas
i he located a town printed in heavy
I black letters, -t was situated at the
junction of two railroads seemingly,
and naturally would bf a splendid
location for an interprising young
practicing physician; so he came to
WASHBURN!
"Reallv, the Santa Fe had built to
Panhandle City (that was Panhan-
dle's name then), and the Denver
had pledged the Santa Fe to build
and establish contact with it—the
idea being that the Denver was to go
through Panhandle City; but the
road missed that place by some 16
miles. Consequently the Denver had
to iav a tap-road from Washburn
to Panhandle City. It was over this
tap-road that the Santa Fe trains
came to Washburn and on to Ama-
rillo. But, of course, all this didn't
show on the map I Hence the young
doctor's surprise was unbounded
when he arrived to find only a lit-
tle village of small houses—without
yard fences—scattered about on the
prairie!
"Needless to say that making a
living in such a location was diffi-
cult for the young doctor. Many of
the settlers could not pay their bills
— and the bills at most were not
many. Sister's health failed, and
m father and mother moved
r , here to be near her. My
father who *'ad been a newspaper
man all his life gave up his work
on 'The Memphis Appeal,' a big pa-
per of the 'Dallas News' type and
bought the Claude News which he
published many years.
"When I had finished school in
Nashville .1 followed my parents to
the plains, and in time began to
teach. I taught primary work-
principally because that position
happened to be open, and because
I liked children. As the years pass-
ed I taught in the grades, higher
and higher, until at last I discov-
ered that high school English was
the work for which I was best fit-
ted."
"My sister's health failed entirely,
and upon her death she willed to me
her baby—a little boy. That child
was the joy of our home. Really, I
had final authority over the baby,
but, as my parents had very defi-
nite control over me, he was de-
cidedly under theirs! Despite all that,
we had a definite understanding,
the father, my parents and 1, as to
tactics employed in rearing the baby.
It seems laughable now, but we
really went Into huddles over the
merest trifles—like whether baby
should drink tea or whether he
should go to sleep in the dark or
wifh the light burning! Neverthe-
less, there was no conflict in the
agreement.
"One day when lie was four years
old baby struck his temple on a
sharp table corner and caused a
blood clot to form on the breathing
nerves some way, and we lost him!
He passed away in perfect health
and beauty. For years I couldn't
bear to see little baby clothes hang-
ing on a line."
The baby's father who had lived
with his wife's '>arents in order to
he-- with his child was sincerely at-
tached to his mother-in-law. "He
was an unusual son-in-law; he
seemed to think more of mother
than did her own children, but after
baby died he couldn't bear the
house; so he went away.
• * *
"We had a lovely home life, but
mother never seemed to recover
from baby's going. She became an
invalid and from that day until her
death I was never free of the knowl-
edge of her pain. I could never
leave her after that, no matter what
opportunity offered me.
"We were not in the Panhandle
all the time. Once in the nineties
when there was a severe drought
here we moved to Vest, a town
near Waco. I taught in the school
there and at Hillsboro, and later in
Wise County. Finally we decided
mother's health would be better
hack on the Plains, and we came
back to Claude. Father bought the
Claude News again. He could have
bought the Amarillo paper for the
same figure—and I wished him to
do so. However, I came to Ama-
rillo and taught English and history
in the schunl here.
• • •
"Finally I had to give up my work
here entirely. There was no chance
to build myself up, because I had
to go home over weekends and
often during the week. I decided
go back to Claude and help
father with the paper. Thus I
could be near mother, and with
her at night. However the work was
not to my liking, and I didn't seem
to be able to help mother much, so
I accepted a teaching position in
t' i Temple High School. When the
si rintendent went to Dallas as
superintendent he offered me a posi-
tion there, but again mother was
'•orse and I had to come home. I
took the postmastership at Claude,
a job I detested, but father's health,
too, was gone and I had to assume
the entire care of two semi-invalids.
Wher a change of administration
. ne there was no longer an open-
ing for me In the postoffice.
"At that time Potter County had
a sufficient number of pupils to
create the office of county superin-
tendent. By moving to Amarillo I
established my eligibility for the
position. I entered the race and
mane it in the primary election of
1932. I had moved here early in
September, and my father died
three weeks later. Mother followed
him three ye- s afterward.
"After mother was gone and I
took stock, I found myself heavily
involved with the accumulation of
uebts caused by their long Illness,
and earning a salary insufficient to
mnet my needs.
"I had been writing for years and
had been supplementing my salary
fr ■ years with checks from news-
papers ar 1 magazines, but there
were periods when my household
responsibilities coupled with my
other duties were so demanding that
I had no time to devote to writing.
How ver that time was not entirely
wasted, for when I was shut in at
hoi.ie with two invalids, or working
in the postofice, I learned as much
as possible about the people and
the history o^ the Panhandle. All
that time I was accumulating mate-
ria Wherever 1 went I took note-
boo'-. and penc* . I was too busy to
develop the notes then, hence I lost
the value of some of them; but I
have been able to use most of my
notes in articles or in the two
books which I have since written.
Thus I have capitalized on moments
that -might otherwise have been
wasted.
Truly Miss Hamner's experiences
w uld verify the saying, "It's an ill
wind that blows nobody good," and
in no instance more forcibly than
in her defeat in the election of 1934.
'"T set my heart upon turning my
defeat into victory," declared Miss
Hamner. "There were my unfinish-
ed books to complete, and now I had
time to devote to the work I had
always wanted to do. Soon I had
j one finished; then had it publish-
j ed and got it adopted as a supple-
mentary school book. I was the
; first person to publish her own
bor': and get it adopted—it's a
wonder to ii.r even yet. But there
j were over 39.000 copies s-old."
J. O. Guleke, Amarillo attorney,
1 sayt of Miss Hamner's book: "'The
No-Gun Man of Texas' is a splendid
book and the author did a grand
piece of work in putting it over to
I t.' e Board of Education at Austin.
I was present when she personally
presented her book to the board,
and I've often thought it wa^ as
much her personality that sold the
book as it was the merit of the
book."
Miss Hamner has another book
Turned Away
His plant and personnel so small,
his equipment so limited, and his
ability to expand restricted by his
financial growth, Fred Docht found
himself turning down cleaning and
pi easing business by Thursday of
every week—back in 1925.
Doche Ar Company still occupies
its original location at 412 Bu-
chanan Stieet, except that the 24
by 40 foot building in which the
business was started on the rear of
the lot now houses only a cleaning
room.
The story of the firm's growth and
progress Is one of persistency and
consistency.
Fred Doche and Mrs L. P Doche
started the business November 15,
1925, after the former had been an
employe oi a local laundry for a
number ol years.
At that time, the business boasted
one washer, one extractor, a clari-
fication system and a single press
that Is almost ready for the pub-
lishers.
Pio.se writing alone does not cov-
er Miss Hamner's field. She is a
poet of no mean ability. Some of
her best known poem- are; "An
etching Foot," "I Have Not Lived
AiV Life," "My Ruts," "When Spring
Shall Come," "Three Mottoes," "The
C, igin of a Smile," "My Visitor,"
and "Autumn Finance."
The three employes and the equip-
ment taxed the original building to
capacity.
As the business developed, expan-
sions were made, until Doche
Company later erected Its new home,
a 50 by 80 foot brick building front-
ing on Buchanan Street, which it
now occupies. The structure is own-
ed by the firm.
Now a personnel of 20 expert
workmen occupy the well lighted
and ventilated building, housing the
modern equipment known to the
cleaning business.
The firm operates 10 pressing
machines, using different sizes and
types of presses for varying re-
quirements; all kinds of pleating
equipment; and special steam tables
for blocking knits.
The last four years has seen the
plant practically rebuilt and mod-
ernized, with complete discontinu-
ance of the equipment originally
used.
The firm maintains a huge cold
storage vault for furs, fur coats and
other garments. The dust proof
vault with 9-inch reinforced con-
crete walls Is certified by the
American Institute of Refrigeration
as having the necessary equipment
! for maintaining the proper tempera-
tures and protection.
The company operates three dellr-
ery trucks, 90 per cent ot Its busi-
ness being ot that nature.
Fred Doche himself supervise*
the operation of the plant, whll#
Mrs. Doche manages the offlc*.
