(The Edwards I knew at Lubbock in the mid-twenties [1920's] came from there and was probably from the same family. Once he signed up for a job on the Yellow House Ranch out there. The first think the boss ordered him to do was to climb and grease the windmill. I remember this mill very well, indicated in Yellow House Canyon down below the cliff. He demurred but the boss said that he would like for him to do it. He climbed as far as the platform on which he lay down and they had to rescue him. A picture of Mr. Tom Patterson, a very tall man on horseback, is in the Hamilton Courthouse. In fact there is an interesting collection of portraits gotten up mostly by the late Judge P. M. Rice still in the County Judge’s office though it should be displayed in the corridor. Mr. Joe Rice was more reckless than Mr. Rufe, whom I knew well, the first-born white child in the county, but sons of old James Rice, merchant and first Chief Justice. I believe Mr. Joe Rice went on to Arizona. Mr. Williams, himself, once punched cattle for man J. Wright Moore. About 1937 I met Evetts Haley and Carl Vandale at Snyder and we spent about three days during a sandstorm taking down the old buffalo hunter’s story. Also Mr. Jim (Smokey Joe) McCrary worked at one for Mr. Moore. Later had the old McCrary Ranch west of Hamilton, whom I knew. His children came to school in a hack and the mules were always tied to a certain liveoak tree.\
