James E. Westbrook, 83,
pioneer Deport ginner and one
of the section’s oldest native
Texans, died Sunday at the
home of a daughter. Mrs. A.
L. Campbell. He had been in
bad health several years. Fu-
neral service was conducted
Monday at the Baptist church,
the pastor Rev. Chas. T. Tally
Jr., assisted by Rev. C. S. Wil-
hite, officiating. Burial was at
Highland cemetery,
James Eli Westbrook was
bom Nov. 11, 1853, in Chero-
kee county and moved in 1866
with his parents to a farm
three miles north of D„eport,
in the vicinity of which he liv-
ed the remainder of his life.
He was one of this section^
oldest native Texans and earl-
iest settlers.
More than 50 years
when oxen and treadmill
used for power and about four
bales per day constituted a ca-
pacity run, Mr. Westbrook op-
erated a gin at Round Up, ear-
ly settlement mile and a hal£
west of Deport.
'After operating the Round
Up plant about 25 years, Mr.
Westbrook moved to Deport
and purchased a gin which he
sold in 1916 to a stock com-
pany, now known as Farmers
Gin Co.
Mr. Westbrook married Mar-
garet Parchman in 1875 and
they became the parents of .six
children before she died Sept.
24, 1905. He had made his
home with a son-in-law and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. A. L.
Campbell since 1916. Surviv-
ors, besides Mrs. Campbell, in-
clude two sons, Sam H. West-
brook and J. T. Westbrook, a
brother, D. P. Westbrook, and
a sister, Mrs. J. B. Nixon, all
of the Deport area.
Pall bearers for the funeral
were J. M. Read, Chas. David-
