Phelps and Tom White.

Phelps n Tom White.
No p. write-up Of the old settlers
would be complete without including
Phelps and Tom White, for no nnen
are more intimately associated with
the Pecos Valley. For an old timer
to think of the Pecos country is to
think Of these two. They were pio-
neers in the cattle business, and were
almost the first of the large ranchers
after John Chisum, the pioneer of
them all on the Pecos.
The White brothers associated with
Mai. Geo. w. @Litt1e1eld, of Austin.
Texas, first located at Bosque Grande
35 miles above Roswell on the Pecos,
and established and started the L.
F. D.. herd of cattle in 1881. They af-
terward moved to Four Lakes, 60
miles east of Roswell on the Plains,
which is still their headquarters.
No men are better posted on the
ms and outs of the cattle business,
and they know the range country
as we know the streets of Roswell.
Phelps is the older and the leader
of the two. He is the first president
Of the Old Settlers Society and is
very active in promoting the success
of the organization. Over two years
ago he was married to Miss Lou Tom
linson of Roswell, and they have a
baby boy. They reside in Roswell.
In addition to his large cattle inter
ests, he is extensively interested in
farming lands real estate in the
valley, owning with Mr.. Littlefald
the large L. F. D. farm three miles
east of Roswell,
Tom White. the younger brother.
and has served in that capacity for
five years. He gives close attention
to the affairs of the office and is con
sidered a most worthy public official.
Both are great admirers of Ros-
well and have always been loyal
friends of the town and have conL,ib-
uted much towards its success.
Intimately associated with the
Whites the L. F, D. (for one
calls to mind the otherl are w. J.
| Wilkerson, in Canada at present, Da-
vid Howell, Thos. York, "Hoss' Cum
Minis. George Smith, all old timers
