THE OXM BRAND - THE BLACKS

 

Interview on April 20, 1943

George Black at Comanche had told me his father used to pasture cattle from Hamilton with that brand. Mr. Williams said that was the brand of Hearne & Company at Hamilton. Mr. Black has said that they put them for five years on the halves, on the 80,000 (or 800,000) acre ranch of his father, William Black at Fort McKavett (west of Menard) in 1885, and that the relations were very satisfactory.

Mr. Williams said the three Heath Brothers, whose reputation was not too good, took the cattle from here out there, and never came back to this country, six or eight hundred of them. His brothers, John Mark and Hal, went with them to take the cattle out there. Had their cooks and outfits.
