Notes
a. Note:   Biography of William Roy Varner Dictated to tape in 1970 Transcribed 12/20/1998 by Carissa Walker Way back in 1915, far back as I can remember, I guess, we lived at Whitesboro, Oklahoma. My dad and grand-dad [Evans] was blacksmiths, operated a blacksmith shop. We left Whitesboro by wagon and team coming out through the, over the Kiamichi, Winding Stair Mountains and ferried across the Arkansas River on a ferry, going to Boynton, Oklahoma. We lived at Boynton approximately a year and a half and I went to school there at Boynton [Muskogee County], for about a term or so. And while we were at Boynton, my dad was employed with the Carter Oil Company, a roustabout and then pulling wells with teams and horse teams, back in them days, shallow wells. We left there, shipped out of there at Boynton, to Ranger, Texas in about the year 1919. When we was in Ranger, Texas, my dad worked for oil company on a dray. First we moved there and we run a dray. He did that for probably a year, or less. Then he bought big horses and mules and he went in the teaming business for oil companies, by connection wagon. The word dray, we used to use it, the same as we do now, hauling freight from a depot to their merchants, and this explains the dray part of it. We moved from Ranger, Texas back to Jennings, Oklahoma in 1920 there where Doc Varner lived. We moved from Jennings over to Maramec that same year, which is 1920. I went to school there at Maramec, and that’s where we lived for approximately 18 years. My dad at that time was in the trucking business, and we moved from Maramec to Panhandle, Texas [16 miles ENE of Amarillo] in 1924. Trucking from Panhandle, Texas over to Borger, Texas in February of 1925. It was a pretty rough place [laugh]. In 1926 we moved over to Spearman, Texas and trucked from there back to Stinnett, Texas which is on the north side of the Canadian River [north of Borger] trucking oil field equipment. We moved from there back to Maramec in 1927. So my dad and I went to wheat harvest in 1928, western part of Oklahoma and west Texas. We came back that fall in 1928 to Maramec. When we came back to Maramec we still had trucks and we went down to Yale, Oklahoma to start buyin’ tank tops and tin and lumber, and went in the business of selling that tank top material to all the farmers all over the country for two dollars a square, ten foot square. Lumber in those days, used lumber, was some five cents a foot. In 1929, my mother and my dad went back to Tennessee, Dyer Tennessee, on a visit We was doin’ pretty fair financially, sellin’ tank top stuff, and he bought, of course, some pretty nice used cars for those days and the year 1930 come along, depression. And we moved from Maramec out on farms and existed, and moved out on farm, workin’ for Ray Privit, we lived out on his place. He bought the Ball place that year and we was farmin’ it, and that was the year from ’30-’32. And I’d run the tractor 12 hours and Red would run it the other 12 hours, and that’s the way we would farm the place and put it in oats, wheat, back there in them days. So we finally left that country, left there and we moved to west Texas in about the year of ’34. We lived in west Texas from ’34 to ’42 employed with the City Service Oil Company during that time. We moved from Kermit, Texas to back here in Pawnee, Oklahoma in 1942, and I went to work here for general contractors, and I went to work time before cars for the Mitchell brothers, and I worked there for about one year. Then I went into business for myself, and that was in about ’44…’43 I went into business for myself and I bought the building where I’m at now in 1944 and there was an old blacksmith shop and I operated there until 1955, and this is 1970.
