At the time of his death he was president of the Federal Land Bank of Wichita Falls and director in the First National Bank of Wichita Falls, and was associated with other business and civic enterprises. He was a nephew of Aaron M. Lasaster of Jacksboro and is well remembered by the pioneers of Jack County. He spent his boyhood and early manhood on his father's ranch in Palo Pinto county near the southern line of Jack County. His father was a respected ranchman of early days here, and he was a nephew of A.M. Lasater and a cousin of Mrs. F.G. Huckabay of Jacksboro. He was a man of brilliant mind, splendid character and gentle manner. He was called to Washington during the World War to become one of the financial advisers of the Wilson administration and it was one of his privileges to extend loans to ranchmen of the south and west who had gone through a financial crisis after the great war.
