Notes:

"In the late 19-teens and early 1920's Rush Chambers operated the last exclusive meat market in a building in the middle of the block on the east side of the courthouse square between the county jail building and Harrision Street, what is now in the parking area. That building was the last privately owned property on the courthouse square. It was torn down before the present courthouse was built in 1927. Chambers' meat market delivered meat to the homes in town in the late 19-teens. Ed Buckalew, as a youth, delivered packages by horseback to the homes. Ed Buckalew learned the butcher trade from Chambers and pursued that trade for many years and accumulated a sizable store." From the SAN AUGUSTINE TRIBUNE, Thursday, January 5, 2006, p. 1, "Story of Burks Closure Brings Memories From the Past" by Arlan Hays.

At the time he registered for the Draft during the First World War he was a resident of San Augustine, married, and working as a stock farmer. He was of medium heighth and build, with blue eyes.
