Bob, I knew a Theolia Crain in Avery, mother to Marjorie Nicholas the post mistress. Mrs Crain had her own little office in Avery to collect water bills etc. I bought Mrs Crain's 1966 Ford in 1975 for my kids and they sure got good use out of it. There were many Whiteman's in Red River County in the 1950. Jim Whiteman was a champion rodeo cowboys. His son Jimbo is about 2 years younger than me (I am 61+) and I think lives in the Longview area. Jimbo's sister Janet Whiteman was in my class of 59 and married Reid Ussery and still lives in Clarksville area (I think). There was a Whiteman family in the Concord Church in the 1850s. There is still a Mrs Jim Whiteman in the Clarksville phone book and a few others. Reid Ussery is also listed in the book. Another sister work in the drivers license office here in Paris and will take your picture. She is a little younger and her names slips me at the moment. The RRR book tells of many many Whiteman people back to Squire Loman and Dora Francis (McGill) Whiteman. Loman (Babe) Whiteman 1884 to 1962. Mary Lanell Whiteman married Robert Allen "Slim" Hulen. He rodeoed with Herbert"Hub" Whiteman. Hub was world champion and was inducted into the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Ok City. Jim was a deputy sheriff of RRCo and Chief of Police of Clarksville after his rodeo days. Man, there is just not a stopping place, so I will quit. No I won't, I have a newspaper clipping of Sheriff Slim Hulen with his 6-gun on a escaped convict out of the Texarkana pen about 1958. I saw the man's partner lying shot dead on the railroad track. I think I told that story once. Slim is in Regency Nursing Home in very weak condition. I use to visit him before my dad died at Regency. I am glad I saved that clipping long ago. I see two Crane names listed in Red River Co but no Crain. There are two Crain names in the Paris area.

There is one of those Whitemans that has a Florist Shop here in Paris, and I go to Church with his mother, a Carmen Whiteman, and she lives here in Paris also. Helps her son in his business.
