Pioneer Trails -- Sixty Years Ago
...Among the many teams on the street one day of that week was the mule team of Elmer Hays. "The mules were togged out in brand new suits, the harness having been made by Alex Montgomery, who knows just how to get them up with neatness and dispatch."
Smith County Pioneer, March 16, 1949. Quote from the Daily Pioneer, March 4 to 11, 1889.
