A L. Traweek died at 5 o'clock a.m. July 21, 1909, at Hot Springs, Arkansas, of a complication of diseases. His remains were brought to his home here on Friday July 23, and the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Hodges at the Methodist church at 2 o'clock p.m. July 24, after which his remains were laid to rest in the City Cemetery.
Mr. Traweek was born at Demopolis, Ala., June 20,m 1850; was married to Miss Georgia Oates, Dec. 21, 1871, at Rocky Ranch, Hamilton County, Texas.

Then he moved to Floydada, Texas, and from there to Memphis, Texas, where he was in business until he moved his family to Altus in 1901. He built, what is now the Altus Transfer barn, the first two-story house in Altus, and the first telephone exchange here.
He was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South for 29 years. At the age of 13, he ran away from home and joined the Confederate army; being so young, his uncle went and took him home.
