[]spouse: Moore, Fannie Hayden (1885 - 1971)Thomas Washington Isbell
Thomas traveled by covered wagon with his parents to Oklahoma in 1894. After arriving in Oklahoma he got to know an affluent Choctaw Indian by the name of Isom Pickens. Isom liked Thomas and between them they reached an agreement for Tom to break horses for Isom. For every five that Tom broke he got to keep one of his choice. The arrangement worked out so well that they extended their agreement to raising cows. Tom would take the cows and care f or them and see them through the winter, and in the spring they would split the new calves fifty-fifty. This worked so well that they extended the agreement to raising pigs also. This is how Thomas got his start. He eventually bought his own land and was a very conservative businessman. Just before the depression, when everyone else was mortgaging their farms to expand, Thomas never did. He was the only farmer in the Blanco area that did not lose his land during the depression.

Isbell had to celebrate in bed, having been on a one-man roundup at the age of 83 years two weeks ago. His horse threw him, breaking several bones.
He managed to get three-quarters of a mile home and then was taken to a hospital for treatment. It was his second trip to a hospital, the first was for an appendectomy in 1915.
He figures he has good nursing care at home. His nurse is his 78-year old wife." -----Dan Yaklin "Isbell Family History" From Mary Lu Johnson- Letter 11-1-94: When whites wouldn't let Indians be buried in their cemetery Thomas Washington donated 20 acres for the Brushy Creek Church and Cemetery.
Have a copy of his hospital bill from when he fell off the horse. The total was 154.05.--Jennifer Gerber Day, 3-95
