1922 Industrial Survey of Round Rock

"This old man is hardly deserving of a farm report, as he does not farm much. He lives alone except when he visits among his friends and relatively. When we have road work to do or other work for wages, he is one of our best men, considering his age, and stays with the work most faithfully. He has the reputation of having always been a good worker and what little money he has, is carefully used. We cannot hope to make much of a farmer of his at his age. However, he does set a very worthy example to a lot of the younger men by his frugal use of his funds and by his industry when he has an opportunity to earn wages."
