Seeking Opportunity
The A. E. Argo family came to Hereford on April 5, 1905, seeking opportunity for their children. He bought half interest in a grocery store with B. Barnard, and the store, located on the west side of the 400 block of Main, was known as Barnard and Argo Grocery. On Barnard's death, his interest was sold to J. D. Jarrett, and the store was Argo and Jarrett until Argo sold out about 1910.
Mr. and Mrs. Argo moved back to Paris, Tex., in 1911, and remained there as long as they lived. Their daughter, Audry, had married Alex O. Thompson here in 1908 and remained to be active in Hereford's church and club life.
During their residence here, Argo was a deacon and treasurer of the First Baptist Church, and Mrs. Argo served as president of the ladies aid.
A. E. Argo was born in Tennessee in 1858 and came to Texas as a boy. Hettie Bryan was a third-generation Texan and was married to A.E. Argo in 1884. Their children were two sons, Bill Argo, Paris, Tex.; Ivie Argo, who died in 1943; and two daughters, Mrs. Thompson, Hereford, and Margaret Argo Hayes, Phoenix, Ariz.
