T. B. Haggard
T. B. HAGGARD BURIED IN RESTLAND CEMETERY
Newspaper, 1963.
A colorful figure whose lifetime spanned the days of the “old west” to the present time, T. B. Haggard of Frisco, 87, was interred in Restland Cemetery Saturday afternoon after funeral services were conducted in the Frisco First Methodist Church at two o’clock.
“Tan”, as he was known to his countless friends, was born January 31, 1876, west of Plano not far from the farm south of Frisco where he lived at the time of his death. Except for a few years when his parents, J. Will and Matilda Martin Haggard made their home in Young county, he had lived in the Plano-Frisco vicinity all his life.
After suffering the loss of all their stock in a blizzard, the family returned to Collin County and purchased the land that later was owned by T. B. Haggard and in recent years operated by his son, Homer.
Aside from his interest in farming and ranching, deceased could well appreciate the troubles of TV characters in their efforts to lay a railroad for he had first hand information, having been foreman for the construction of the Frisco railroad in the Hebron community and in the stockyard area of Ft. Worth. Not only was he a cowboy and railroader, he also was a ginner.
He was married in 1906 to Hassie Northcutt who preceded him in death in 1953. Surviving are his son; one daughter, Miss Romayne Haggard of Houston; two grandchildren, Mrs. Sam Roach and Sallie Haggard, both of Frisco; three sisters, Mrs. Mattie Forbes of St. Louis, Mo.; Mrs. Sam Bruce and Mrs. Mary Collier, Dallas.
He had long been a member of the Methodist church and was affiliated with the Lebanon Lodge, Scottish Rite Masons and Hella Shrine Temple.
The pioneer died in Baylor hospital early Friday morning. He recently had undergone surgery but was recuperating satisfactorily. Death was attributed to a heart attack.
