Hi, I thought the Doctor's name was Lankford or possibly Langford. Most people I knew called it Lankford, but you know how local pronouciations drop or add phonetic sounds. My family went to Dr. Naylor for medical and simple dental work. He owned the old Brick 2 story house between the courthouse and the City Park. We went to Vance Terrell for eye, ear, nose, & throat. He and brother Jim also did general surgery, He retired after my parents went to the Nursing home. Dr. Gokul took many of his patients, especially the Rest homes . Dr. Gokul was with mom when she died. Dr. Cedars had started her heart and treated a collapsed lung several years before that. Dr. Cedars could smell a bandage with certain medications and know if it needed changing or do not disturb . Grady Lankford of West runs West Bank & Trust of West and Hewitt . he married Margurite Lavender of Brandon and Waco- a music teacher. One of his kin lived in Bynum and he and his wife were employed by Bynum School. Margurit4e and Brother Clint of Bynum grew up in Ralls , Texas near Lubbock. Dr. Naylor was present at our Johnsville home on my first birthday, but I beat him there a few hours- Paved U.S.67 was not finished then . The old hwy ran in front of our house. from Valley Grove and turned at every fence corner post. Travellers used to stop at our windmill for fresh water (Including Rev. J.Frank Norris of Hubbard and Fort Worth) and we never locked the house. The only thing stolen was some bacon for a meal or so would be sliced off in the smokehouse and one small flock of turkeys. Mom and Mrs. Ned (Ida) Gristy sometimes served as midwives in the 1930's. Dad said when he went to get Dr. Naylor, one bridge was not finished and it was muddy, so to save time he backed the model .t ford up and gave it full throtle and bounce- jumped the bottom of the stream, saving an hour or two in the mud. Maybe this type driving was the reason so many farm boys were put in the Armored Cavalry in the Army. It was a way of life for tractor and mud road drivers. Hope this helps- am going from memory on these spellings. I stand corrected if i Goofed- have to teach in Waco the rest of the week. If I find info later that corrects the above, will check you later.
