Freestone County, Texas Telephone Directory of Wortham, Texas August 1971 Wortham, Texas List of Telephone Subscribers [I have left the actual phone numbers off, but all had the pattern of 765-3xxx. The absence of periods in abbreviations is exactly what they had. Many of the businesses are listed in capitalization if the business paid for the larger listing. Please note there are businesses in nearby cities such as Mexia, Teague, and Waco that paid to be listed in the phone book. In the 1970s, phone books were distributed free to those who had phones. If you had a telephone, you subscribed to that service. The telephone company owned all the equipment; you paid a monthly service fee and a monthly fee for the actual telephone in your house. ] A A & W SALES CO 107 N Sherman Mexia Tex ADAMS AG-SERV 107 W Palestine Mexia Tex Agueros E J Dr ofc res 207 Red Bird Land Mexia, Tex ALL POINTS MOVING & STORAGE 3712 Franklin Waco Tex Acock N E Mrs Allen Gene Allen J W Allen T F Allen W Gabe Arthur Mack B Baker Mary NARKER'S TV REPAIR 620-B Main Teague Tex Bass W R Bates Joe Bates Motor Co Bates Tom Joe Batts Michael Batts Royal Baty Thos BATY'S GARAGE SERV Bays F L Beaver W R Bell Clara Mrs Bell Jess Bennett Gary Benson Robt Rev Benton A R Beulah Baptist Church Bilton Vera Mrs Birch Fannie Mrs Black J P Black James A Blacklidge Kenneth Blakenship J D Bone Lera Bounds B F Bounds Chas H Bounds Clyde K Bounds D A Dr Bounds H P Bounds Hdw Co Bounds J V Jr Mrs Bounds Jim Mrs Bounds M S Bounds Virgil L Bounds W Bailey Boyd Clyde Boyd H C Boyd J E Mrs Breed Lucille Mrs Brice Pearl Brooks J W Mrs Brooks T O Brown E V Brown Philip C Bryant Alvin Buchmeyer H A Buchmeyer N D Dr ofc res Burks C L Burleson H A Busby Arthur Busby David Busby David V Butcher Taft Butler Kenneth Butler P O Butler R C Butler Roy Byrd Loretta C Calame Billy V Calame C L Calame C P Calame Donald Calame Earl Calame Earl Feed Store Calame Floyd C Calame Gertrude Mrs CALAME LBR CO Calame Pat Calame Ralph Calame Roy Jr Calame Ruby Mrs Calame Verdie Caldwell Allen Carr J E Carroll C D Carter Arthur Carter Dora Carter Essie Castleshoat Marion Cate Addie May Chancellor W F Chandler Ted J Capt Chapman Jody Chatman Stanley Cherry Dwight Cherry Verna Jean Chief of Police Chumney Myrtle Mrs Cleere Bessie Mrs Cochrum Martha Collier J C Collier W A [page 2] COMMUNITY MORTUARY THE 301 Monroe Teague Tex Conn J W Conner Ella R Covert F B Cox Quince Craig Kenneth E Craig Leonard E Craig M D Craig Roger W Jr Craig Sammy Craig T L Craig Tommy Craig W M Craig's Gulf Serv Sta Culberson Artelia Curry Mavis D D-M Pharmacy Davidson Ellen Mrs Davis J Davis Linnie Davis Luther Davis Uel L Jr Dawson W L Denson John H Dodge W H Driver Wm H Drumwright J T Mrs DuBose Eva N Mrs Dunn J F Dunn Larry Dunn R L E Eckhardt Wm Eddings H C Eddy Fred ELLER J M JEWELER 314 E Comrc Mexia Tex Elliott Foy Elliott J S Elrod Jack F Faye's Salon of Beauty Fields J J Mrs Finn W J Fire Dept First Bapt Church First Methodist Church Parsonage FIRST NATL BANK FLATT STATIONERS INC 217 E Comrc Mexia Tex Fleming R R Fort Buck Fox W D Freeman Wig Frost Alton FROST D P CONSTR CO INC Frost M M Mrs Furlow Julia Mrs G Garrett Jean Garrett W L Gibbons Milton Goodwin C B Goolsby J C GOOLSBY JAS R bty shp Gordon Jake Greer S W Griffin Ethel H Hall E W Hall H L Hamilton Edna Hammett Violet A Hardy H P Hardy R V Hardy O T HAVEN NURSING HOME Mrs. Della Attaway - Adm. 601 Terrace Lane Mexia Tex Haynes Joyce Henderson Ethel Henderson J W Henry M J Mrs Henson Ray Hicks Ollie High Scott Highland Resources Inc Holmes Gloria Holton Ruth Mrs Hood Jessmyr Housing Authority Of The City Of Wortham Howard O H [Page 3] HOWELL C E Chiropractor 819 E Commerce Mexia Tex Hughes R L I Irvin L M Isbell Barney J Jackson Howard JACKSON TRACTOR & EQP CO E Milam Mexia Tex Jackson Troy Faye Jackson Wiliford Jefferson Curtis Jenkins Claud C JENKIN'S GROC Claude Jenkins - Owner Jennings Ola Mrs Jones E M Jones M P Jr Jones Nina B Jones Placere Red K KEATHLEY'S DINER A.
