Circuit Rider's Wife
AS TOLD BY MRS. R. M. MORRIS
OF CLARENDON
TO HERBERT and CAROLYN
TIMMONS
Well, I guess I do know some-
thing about the early days In the
Panhandle. Mr. Morris was sent to
the Childress Mission when it went
ov.'r into Hardeman County and
reached to the New Mexico line-
only no one knew where the line was
then. I always went with him in the
early days, so I saw it all. I've
brushed tarantulas off my baby's pal-
let. helped clean grasshoppers from
between the wagon spokes when
they balled up, slept out when we
had to fold newspapers over our
chests to keep the cold from going
in. Yes, I know about the life of a
circuit rider's wife. I lived it, and
it was mighty good.
1 was born Mabel Pankey and
married Rev. R. M. Morris, a
Methodist circuit rider in December
of 1884. Our first home was on
the Cartersville Mission. There was
an old deserted store building there,
and Mr. Morris tore up some goods
boxes and got lumber to run a parti-
tion, so we had two rooms. He made
some furniture out of boxes, too,
and we got along fine. Following
his work on the Cartersville Mission,
Mr. Morris preached in the Terri-
tory. Then came the appointment
to the Childress Mission in 1886-87.
The presiding elder. Rev. Jerome
Haralson, and Mr. Morris drove
through to Childress, leaving Mrs.
Haralson and me to come on the
mixed train, while Johnie McCar-
ley, a nephew of Reverend Haral-
son, moved the household goods of
both families in one wagon.
Doctor Albert met us at the train,
and we stayed at his home until our
dugout was finished.
We soon had furniture for our
dugout. Our bed was made of four
boxes that had held canned toma-
toes. Scantlings were laid across
the boxes and they made pretty
good springs, and I had brought a
tick to fill with grass. The grass
was mighty high and it didn't take
long to fill a tick. Of course I
had my feather bed. Mother gave me
that when I married. We got fixed
up real cozy, but I didn't stay at
home much. I could help Mr. Morris
out on his work so I went along.
We carried a camp outfit and
made camp where night found tis.
We had a grubbing hoe, and we al-
ways dug a trench around where we
spread our tarp so the water would
run off if it rained. Cooking was
pretty bad, though, when the cow-
chips got wet or the wind was awful
high. I've eaten meat that was
nearly raw lots of times, but it never
hurt me.
Speaking of rattlers on the Plains,
we always carried a grass rnpe which
we carefully placed around the bed.
People now say that doesn't do any
good, but it made us feel lots bet-
ter, anyway.
It wasn't much trouble—camping
out. We always slept with the baby
between us to keep it warm, and if it
was very cold we folded newspapers
tmd placed them on our chests. That
is the very best way to keep the
cold from striking in.
It was no trouble to get people to
come to church, or rather to services
in the early days. They always
carried a number of song books with
their camp things, and wherever
they wanted to preach the books
were passed and Mr. Morris began
to sing.
that part of the country. They
brought us biscuits from the camp
lots of times when we were off on
the edge of the range.
The country was settling up rap-
idly. It was not often necessary to
spend the night out, but there were
other bothers. I had to do lots of
sewing. Mission boxes and barrels
were sent to us, but clothes always
had to be made over, and I had no
sewing machine.
After my second baby I did not
often go with Mr. Morris, as it was
too hard on the children, but once I
made a trip to visit with an old
friend in Dickens County while Mr.
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Morris
Morris went on. We were there
talking one morning when we saw
Indians at the edge of the field.
Now, we knew there were not sup-
posed to be any bad Indians then,
but they had stolen several babies
and hid them out just to give folks a
terrible scare. Anyway, they were
Indians and we didn't like it.
Our first thought was of the baby.
Let's put him between the feather
bed and the straw bed, up at the
view area. I was out with Mr.
Morris going to one of his preaching
appointments. We saw an awful
cloud coming. We didn't know what
it was, but it turned out to be grass-
hoppers. We got to a house just
before they reached us. We could
hear them hitting the walls all
night, the horses whinnied and the
cows lowed all night. There wasn't a
blade of grass or a green thing the
next morning. We started on, but
I had to get out and help Mr. Mor-
ris scrape the grasshoppers from
between the spokes several times.
They balled up like ipud.
That was a hard year.
The Leach Brothers, who were
out of the devastated area, told Mr.
Morris that they would give him a
load of sorghum If he could
come for it. When he was ready
to leave with his loaded wagon the
brothers gave him a sack of dry
black-eyed peas.
Those peas were certainly a treat,
too. We had been eating dry beans
boiled with beef for the longest
time, and were awful tired of them.
I just couldn't hardly make myself
cat them. Well, when I opened that
sack of peas there was a long roll
of sausage in there. There never
was anything else tasted as good as
those peas seasoned with real pork
grease."
I was taken sick while on the
Plainview Mission, and was brought
to Amarillo for treatment by Dr.
McGee. Amarillo had the best peo-
ple in the world. I stayed with a
Mrs. Crane at first. They did not
charge us, but she moved awav, and
Ed Sturdivant and Mrs. Sturdivant
took me to their home. It came a
terrible hail just after they carried
me in the house. Mrs. Sturdivant
took care of me and my baby. Mrs.
Felix Franklin and Mrs. W. M. Lay
came over every day and helped
care for me.

City says that after he came to
Texas with his father and brothers
and sisters, he got a job driving some
cattle to Brown County, and from
there he caught a train to Colorado,
v/here he arrived with the handsome
sum of 25 cents In his pockets.
"I thought it was the most im-
moral place I'd ever seen," he said.
"The Texas and Pacific had just
come through; the town was full of
gamblers, saloon keepers and toughs.
Fourteen hundred cowboys were paid
off there."
He heard that J. Wright Mooar,
who kept a livery stable, might give
him a job, so he called around to see
Mr. Mooar.
" 'How did you get here?' Mr.
Mooar wanted to know.
• * «
Young Bill told him that he had
come on the train.
" 'You ought to get a horse,'
Mooar said. 'You can't do anything
afoot in this country.'
Mooar had noticed that Young Bill
had a saddle, and he had also been
appraised of the fact that he had only
a quarter. So Young Bill thought
this a crazy suggestion, and told
the livery stable keeper so.
" 'I'll sell you a horse.' Mooar said.
The job-seeker knew that this
man was crazy now. "What on earth
will I pay you with?" he inquired.
He never forgot the answer to this.
" 'We don't do things that way in
this country,' Mooar replied. 'Here,
I'll sell you a horse; you get a job
and pay me back. That's simple.
Now, you go to the head of the
Colorado, to Slaughter's Ranch at
German Springs, and I'll give you a
letter to Gus O'Keefe. He'll put you
to work.' "
Young Bill set out. as directed, and
within a few days he was at work.
He had no bed. no clothing, nothing
—not even that horse. He asked
O'Keefe what he was paying him.
" 'Well,' said O'Keefe, 'you're
worth a dollar a day or nothing.'

"I worked hard that summer, day
and night, I had mighty little use

enough to pay Mr. Mooar. I drew my
wages and settled up with him."
Mr. Stratton paused to reflect on
the character and nature of this
man who had befriended him.
"Mooar was a Maryland man," he
said. "He settled on Mooar's Creek
in the 'seventies, and killed buffalo

By ALMA M'GOWEN THOMPSON
Millard C. of the family of Nobles
is truly a patrlarchial pioneer of
the plains, a gentleman of the old
order, gracious, courteous, and
kind. He traces his ancestry to
the House of Drake. This English
inheritance plus the wit and busi-
ness acumen of a Scotch-Irish
strain has carried him far in the
Panhandle,
M. C. Nobles came to Texas In
November, 1878, from Tennessee,
where he was born in Henderson
County, 1856. He came to Terrell,
Texas, where he stayed only one
year before he went back to Tennes-
see, only to return to Texas in a
short while. In 1892, when Amarillo
was a village of some 500 population,
he moved here.
Only a small lad when his father,
a planter and slave owner, left his
property to join the Confederate
Army, soon to be killed upon a
bloody battlefield, young Millard's
educational opportunties were lim-
ited. His early years were a period
of struggle and self-denial.
Leaving Tennessee, he settled at
Deport, Tex., where his mother
joined him in 1881. And like so
many others before him, and after,
Mr. Nobles returned to his native
state to marry the girl he left be-
hind. August 21, 1884, Miss Mattie
J. Watson became his bride at Jack-
son and returned with him to Tex-
as, where her husband was engaged
in the grocery business.
♦ * *
In 1892 Mr. Nobles decided to
leave northeast Texas where he had
as yet enjoyed only a modest in-
come. A friend of the family. Dr.
Pearson, had come to the High
Plains and was so taken with the
country and its prospects that he
urged Mr. Nobles to come out and
see for himself. Following his phy-
sician's advice, M. C. came, and, like
Dr. Pearson, was favorably im-
| pressed with the country. He bought
a lot in the village of Amarillo, the
lot which the Oliver-Eakle Build-
ing now occupies.
Returning to Deport, Mr. Nobles
brought his family, which then con-
sisted of two sons and a daughter
—Grady, Claude, and Iva—to Ama-
rillo where they still reside. Since
coming to Amarillo another child,
May, was born. May, now Mrs. C.
M Williams, says that she has liv-
i Cfi her entire life on Taylor Street,
j Born at Tenth and Taylor, Mrs.
i Williams now lives at 1118 Taylor.
Her father, now retired, makes his
home with this daughter.
The first business Mr. Nobles
entered in the Panhandle was the
Wooten Grocery Store, in which he
bought an interest. At first this
was a semi-jobbing concern, then a
general store buying through the
big jobbers. Later, Mr. Nobles
bought out the company and be-
came associated with the Smith and
Walker Company. Sometimes after
that, he and his brother, H. A.,
launched the Nobles Brothers
Wholesale Grocery, which was the
basis of his later fortune.
"We bought out of Kansas City
mostly," he said "Dodge City had
just about had its day then, but
we got some of our stock from Fort
Worth. The Fort Worth and Den-
drought In the Plains country. I
would have left here If I could have
got away."
Mr. Nobles continued, "There were
but few business houses in Amarillo
then; Frank Wolflin had a small
grocery, and Dean Kirk was also a
merchant, but not for a few years
after I arrived. There were more
saloons than anything else, but even
though they did a flourishing busi-
ness it was never half as bad as
some people like to make out; in
fact,, Amarillo was safer then than
it is now."
Here he was interrupted by his
daughter, who gently reminded,
"Safe enough, perhaps, but women
never went near the Bowery. It
was a tough spot, and I can remem-
ber very well when women didn't
walk down the east side o{ Polk
Street."
"Yes, yes, that's true, but Ama-
rillo never had a wild-wooly-west
history like Tascosa had."
Upon being questioned as to the
pioneers' sports and social lite, Mr.
Nobles laughed outright as lie an-
swered, "oh. once a year Mollic
Bailey Circus came to town, or
rather to Canyon, and everybody
went. Then there were the Old Set-
tlers Reunions—big days of the year
to which we all looked forward. And
every summer we'd take a two
weeks' vacation and go fishing down
to the old Frying Pan Headquarters.
That was quite a trip and took a
long time with horses. Yes, there
were churches here, the Baptist, the
Methodist, and the Cumberland
Presbyterian—the others came la-
ter."
The Nobles Brothers bought a lot
on Third and Polk where they con-
tinued to run their grocery business
in a 'dobe house until 1898r when
they started erecting the brick house
which stands there at present. In
telling about the new building, Mr.
Nobles said, "We used the 'dobe
house all the time, never tore it
town, just built around it a little at
a time. We never moved out—just
took down a section at a time at
night and set up a part of the new.
Thus we continued our business
without interruption and built the
new structure at the same time.
. . . Yes, I still own the building,
but I went out of business in '31."
It is Interesting to note that at
that time the Nobles Brothers Gro-
cery Company had a capital of
some $400,000 which grew into a
house transacting a $3,000,000 busi-
ness in the year of 1926, It was the
largest wholesale house in the Pan-
handle.
An Optimist
E. T. Burke, owner of the Ama-
rillo Furniture Company, picked out
Amarillo In which to locate because
he was "impressed with the healthy
climate, future outlook, and pos-
sibilities of Amarillo and Its trade
territory."
Mr. Burk bought the business here
in 1931 and never has had the
slightest reason to regret his de-
cision.
Two persons were on the payroll
at first. Today its payroll has 22
nar.-.cs on It.
He first engaged In business in
Oklahomp City, Not contented
there, he came to the Panhandle in
1927.
So Impressed was he with the
"Amarillo spirit" that he Immediate-
ly purchased a business here—a shoe
store. Later, he bought up the
stock of several different businesses
in Amarillo and other Panhandle
towns. He concentrated his mer-
chandise in Amarillo.
When the opportunity to buy a
furniture store came his way, he
bought it. although he never had
been In this type of business be-
fore.
Mr. Burk was fascinated by both
his new work and Amarillo. He em-
ploys only Amarillo men and women,
most of whom have lived here for
■ver 15 years.
Today the Amarillo Furnltute
Company Is among the largest in
West Texas.
"I believe the future for business
in the Panhandle looks bright, with
unlimited opportunity for growth
and development," Mr. Burk says.
He gives his helpers much of the
credit for his firm's success, and
adds, "our business today is 10
times what it was five years ago."
Nobles organized furnished the cap-
ital for drilling the initial Pottter
County gas well. Later, the com-
pany gave to Jones Brothers and
Goebel a half Interest in a 70,000-
acre lease to Induce them to drill
five wells.
"The original cost of the enter-
prise," says Mr. Nobles, "was $70,000
and we sold out for $1,400,000. My
original Investment probably was
about $10,000. We, the Amarillo Oil
Company, made the sale to the Mis-
sion Oil Company of Kansas City.
After that memorable transaction,
Mr. Nobles was connected with some
of the Panhandle organizations
handling large-scale production, and
with other more speculative under-
takings. He owned large tracts of
land in the oil section, and was a
director of the Dixon Creek Oil
Company and the Mcllroy Brothers
Oil Company; the first company in
1926 declared a 100 per cent divi-
dend. In addition to these com-
panies he was affilliated with the
Echo, the Triangular, and the Badge
Oil Companies.
Mr. Nobles says that he never
went into the cattle industry to
speak of. His ranching experience
consisted of the leasing of some 10
sections of unfenced grass land
about four or five miles south of
Hereford. Here he ran a small herd
for two or three years with John
Bratton fnow of the Fort Worth and
Denver) as foreman.

gentleman gestured with one hand

not turn out so well. "We.—that is
