| Note | From Galen Gann, 821 Reveille Rd, Fort Worth, TX 76108-4030 12/15/98 Smith was in the army in WWI. Smith worked in Ivan, South Bend, Tonk Valley and Graham. He worked as a teamster with freight wagons and with his brothers as stump pullers in clearing ground in Stephens and Young counties. He was also a trucker and kept ranchers supplied with cattle feed, especially through the winters when cake would be in demand. Probably no one made more miles on the Graham to Ft. Worth highway in a truck hauling cattle to market and returning with feed than Smith Gann. In his early years the brothers worked as butchers during the oil field boom days around Ivan, Caddo and Breckenridge. They would buy cattle, drive them to the camps and then butcher them to supply fresh meat to the oil field camps, boarding houses and grocery stores. |
