Photo taken 1882
Orton "Bud" Bennett Sr. & Newt Hill

Page 6 - The Graham Leader-Reporter, Thursday, April 20, 1972

NINETY YEARS AGO - The late Orton (Bud) Bennett, Sr., left, and Newt Hill, used these ox-drawn freighters to haul material, lumber, fruit, and buffalo hides, from Weatherford, Texas, the nearest rail center, to Young County. These freighters were used to haul building material for the old courthouse in the period from 1880 to 1889.
