Death Came Wednesday
To D. P. H. Cartwright
D. P. H. Cartwright, one the
pioneer residents of this section
of the county, passed away at
his home in the Edwards com-
munity,, between Mesquite and
Lawson, Wednesday morning,
Nov. 5, at 7:35 o'clock.
The immediate cause of ni.i
death was paralysis, from which
he suffered just a week ThFs
was brought on, the physicians
believe, by a fall which he sus-
tained about a month earlier,
while at Carthage, visiting at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. J. S.
Neal.
D. P. H. Cartwright was born
on Feb. 4, 1836, at Gunter's
Landing, Ala. while his parents
were en route to Kentucky. He
was reared at Fulton, Ky., but
came to Tpxas in 1870, locating
first in Hum county, where he
taught school one year, after
which he came to Dallas county,
locating in the community wheie
he died, and which has been his
home every since.
Mr. Cartwright was a high
type of citizen—a loving hus-
band, an affectionate father, a
good neighbor and a loyal friend.
He was held in the highest es-
teem throughout this section
and, the news of his death oc-
casioned profound regret. He
was a devout member of the
Christian church.
Surviving him are his wife
and three children, as follows:
L. W. Cartwright and Mrs. L.
H. Terry of Mesquite and Mrs.
J. S. Neal of Carthage. *
Funeral services were con-
ducted at tlie family home at
1:00 o'clock Thursday afternoon
by Rev. A. D.'Rodgers of Den-
ton, assisted by Rev. Edgar Hub
bard of Mesquite. Interment
took place at the Potter ceme-
tery, near Lawson.
The grief stricken members of
the family have the sincere sym-f
pathy of all in their great loss.
New Ford Building
Hearing Completion
Work on the new brick build-
ing, at the intersection of the
street leading east from the
public square and the state high-
way, which, like everything
else, was hindered by the bad
weather, is now progressing
rapidly. The building is being
erected by Brown & Olinger,
Ford agents and service station
for this territory, and manager
Olinger now hopes to have the
building rwidv for occupancy the
latter part of this month.
The building occupies a lot
60x140. The filling station will
be at the northeast corner of
the building, and will have a
drive in corner like the filling
stations in the cities. Just back
of and adjoining this will be the
loffice, and just beyond that will
be the room in which auto parts
and accessories will be carried.
Adjoining the office ion the west,
at the front end of the building
will be a room about 20x30, to
be used for a show room for new-
cars. X
The repair department will be
at the south end of the building,
and wilf occupy a space 50 x 60
5feet. A space .is left at the
front of the building on the west
\ at i | 1 • I side, 30 feet wide and extending
We alSO nave IVllCni-lback 90 feet to the repair de-
partment. This will be used for
space to store cars. Between
th* stock and parts room on the
west side and the repair depart-
ment is another space. 50 x 60
feet, which will likewise be used
for storage space. This storage
space joins the other s| ace to be
used for storage purposes, there
being 110 partition, enabling cars
to dfive in from the faoiit of the
building and out on the east side,
or vice versa.
When completed, it will be
handsome and commodius home
for the business and Manager
Olinger and everyone connected
with the firm arc anxious to get
into it, as they are cramped for
lack of room in their present
quarters on the west tide of the]
publi« square.
