Pioneer Shackelford
Man t>ie« in Lubl)ock
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Diller,
Betty and Sammy, Nelson Palm
and Miss Corrine Palm were in
Lubbock Friday to attend the fun-
eral of Tom C. Ivey, native of
Shackelford county and one of the
outstanding Hereford breeders of
the Plains. He was an uncle of
Mrs. Diller.
The story of Mr. lvey's death,
carried in the Lubbock Avelanche,
follows below:
"Tom C. Ivey, 72. pioneer West
Texas rancher and Hereford breed-
er and one of the most colorful
early day settlers of the Panhandle
and South Plains, died of u heart
attack about 1 p. in. Tuesday,
Aug. 24, at his home, 1801 Main
street.
Funeral was held for Mr. Ivey
at 10 a. in. Thursday in the chapel
at R;x Funeral home. Interment
was in Lubbock Memorial park
cemetery beside the body of his
wife who died early in 1!>I7. A
daughter died in infancy.
Moved to Plaint
"Born in Shackelford county, in
the Peep Creek community, Jan.
15, 187(1, he grew up with a love
of cattle, spending his early man-
hood in the Indian territory.
"Married in Moheetie, Wheeler
county, in 1000, he and his wife
moved to the South Plains in 1005.
He was believed to have settled in
Gaines county on the T-1 ranch,
and later on another ranch, the
Running M, near Plains.
"In 1917 he settled on a ranch
nine miles east of Hereford, the
old Browntield-Ivey ranch on Tier-
la I'.lanca creek, and bought1 a part
of the Cudgell and Simpson herd
of cattle from the firm of Jowell
& JoWt'11.
44In lTiO. another cattle firm
bought his herd and leased the
ranch for three years, Mr Ivey
moved to Castro county, seven
mile northwest of IMmniitt, where
he remained until the lease on the j
1 terra Hlanca ranch expired.
