West of Ladonia Texas remains active in horse trading handling five to ten horses weekly as rodeo and horseback riding lift interest. He notes few honest traders survive and credits a mix of psychology, horse sense, and honesty for success in a fading but persistent profession.
West runs roundabout horse sales near Ladonia after the war. He buys and selects his best, sells the rest, and emphasizes fair dealing. His 13 year old helper Vernon Fisk travels with him, learning the trade and earning pocket money from riding and occasional trades.
Final rites were conducted for O N White 62 of Fort Worth at the Church of Christ in Mercury. He died at 12:30 am in a veterans hospital after a three month illness. He farmed in Mercury and Dodge, owned Melvin Drug Store, and played semi pro baseball in the 1920s as Brady shortstop. Burial was in Cox Cemetery. Survivors include his wife, a daughter, a son, four grandchildren, two sisters and a brother.
