Toyah Vale, Tex; Nov 5, 1898; Curtis Brothers; Henrietta, Tex
Gentlemen:
I have been in Tex nearly a year for my health. I first went to Dr. M.M. Curtis at Moffat, Bell Co., Tex about the latter part of last Jan. I remained there until 1st of May when I came out here to the K.C. ranch owned by W.D. Casey, a member of theTexas Stock Growers Association to whic I notice you belong. I have therefore been on this ranch six months or over and I have not improved very much. Dr. Curtis suggests a change for me. He thinks it would help me. I have not been down yet but am not able to get out and labor. I thought as you were in the cattle business you may have ranches. If so I would like to come and stay with you this winter. Any light services I can render you will be done with good will. I wanted to get out on a ranch because one can get more outdoor life there than nearly anywhare, and that is what I need, as my trouble is weak lungs. All the work I have done to amount to anything has been flour mill work and that is what I lay the trouble to. I think there is no doubt of my recovery if I stay in this country long enough. In hopes of an answer very soon I am I guess your kinsman.
Frank M. Curtis.³

Obit*

Taylor Thomas's obituary was published in the Benton County Record on 19 March 1920:
BLAKE, Taylor T. - T.T. Blake, one of Benton county's best known citizens and long a resident of Bentonville, died suddenly at his home in this city Thursday morning at 10 a.m. Mr. Blake, who has had heart trouble for the past two years, has been feeling quite well this spring until Sunday when he was again stricken. He was reported better Wednesday but suffered another attack Thursday and passed away suddenly. Mr. Blake came here from Texas in 1868 and was married here in Bentonville to Miss Bertha Curtis in 1873. He succeeded his father in the Southern hotel and continued to conduct it for about thirty-five years. The fame of the Southern hotel and the Blake cooking were known far and near. When the Massey hotel was built Mr. Blake was the first landlord. He took considerable interest in politics and after serving as deputy sheriff for many years was elected sheriff and served four years. Besides a wife, eight children survive him: J.T. Blake and Mrs. W.I. James of Tulsa; F.C. Blake of Okmulgee; J.L. Blake of Miami; Mrs. Arch Wright and Misses Flora and Bob Blake of Bentonville only 7 named. Funeral services have not yet been arranged for at this time of going to press. Benton County Record 3/19/1920
Mrs. Theda Blake of Memphis, who had been visiting here with her sister, Mrs. Amelia Blake, has returned home. The sisters married c[ousins and the husband of Mrs. Theda Blake was a brother of the late Taylor Blake of Bentonvil[le. She had intended returning early last week but remained over for the funeral of Mr. Blake. [Rogers Democrat 3/25/20]
It was with a great deal of regret and sorrow that the word spread over Benton county last Thursday of the death of Taylor A.[?] Blake at his home at Bentonville at the age of 70 years. Mr. Blake had been a resident of Benton county for 52 years, coming here with his father in 1868 from Texas, altho he was a native of Missouri and the family was originally from Tennessee. To say that Taylor Blake was one of the best known men in Benton county would be putting it very mildly. The many years spent in the hotel business in Bentonville; his eight years service as deputy sheriff and his four years as sheriff, gave him a speaking acquaintance with almost every man in the county who had business in the county seat or with the courts. He was one of the very first men that the Democrat editor met at Bentonville at his first term of court, 24 years ago this spring, and the friendship had extended over nearly a quarter of a century without a break. The Democrat never had a more staunch or a truer friend, and it was worth the trip to the county seat just for a half hour with Taylor, who knew all the political gossip of the county and was a regular encyclopedia of general information. Many of our county and court news items came thru his active agency. Mr. Blake is survived by his wife and seven children: J.T. Blake and Mrs. W.D. James of Tulsa, Okla; Finney Blake of Okmulgee, Okla; Carlos Blake, Miami, Okla; Mrs. Arch Wright, Fayetteville; Misses Flora and Bob Blake of Bentonville. The fifth daughter, Mrs. Oma Wood, died last fall. [Rogers Democrat 3/25/20]¹
