Norris > Hi Garry D. Norris, I am new to this list but would love to know more about the Bilbrey Horse Stable you mention above. My great grandfather was Dr. Felix Hickman Bilbrey who was born 10 Aug 1841 in Cookeville, Overton Co., TN and died in Puxico, Stoddard Co., MO. He was married to Mary Ann Gulley. He was the son of Binom Bilbrey and Elizabeth (last name unknown at this time). Hope you or someone else on this list might have some more information on the above Bilbrey Horse Stable. Thanks, Ruth Kinney Townsley
The Bilbrey Stables are very old. They are probably 30-35 years old. I am not sure who owns them. I checked the phone book, but could not find a listing for the stables. At this point I am not sure they are even open for business any more. I haven't been there in many years. Gary D.
