First Woman Driver in Wichita Falls Chronicles 1910 Maxwell
Delia Stone, later Mrs. John Gould, learned to drive in 1910 at age 14 in a Huff Maxwell touring car. She has never had an accident or a moving traffic ticket in over 50 years of driving. The family car lacked a windshield, doors, or self starter and required cranking. In 1910 Wichita Falls population was about 10,000 and travel by car was rare and adventurous.
