Send you email to swccus@yahoo.com and we will talk. My Mom was here last year and Elmer was her Uncle (brother to Homer Goodrich). She was kind enough to give me copies of information on the Goodrich family (my blood-line).

Hi, Thank you for mentioning my dad’s oil company, the Wilson-Broach Co. He just passed away yesterday and I was trying to research his notes from way back in an effort to write a proper obituary. His name was James Cooke Wilson, Jr. and he was born in Beaumont in 1920. His father, James Cooke Wilson was the youngest of the group of men who founded Humble Oil Co. Anyway, your mention of the company is the only one I have found, thus far.

I am very interested in how the Edgerly Oil Company got its name and how the Town of Edgerly got its name. Do you have any information on Lawrence Edgerly? Is there any relationship between Lawrence Edgerly and the Town of Edgerly or the Edgerly Oil Company. My email is KeithEdgerly@cs.com.

I have been doing genealogy research on my parents families. Elmer’s brother Homer Goodrich was my dad’s great great grandfather. Can you send me the articles you have on his death and arrests of the men responsible for his death? If you need any other information please feel free to ask. Thank you! Patricia

Thanks to you, I now have 3 short articles on the shooting, death and arrests of the 4 men responsible for the killing of my Uncle. Annette thanks for everything. It is truth that gives us peace even when the information is not good. I feel bad for the families of these four men and for my own family. J Baker
