Mrs. Bess S. Lanham, daughter of Judge and [Mrs.] I. W. Stephens, was given the very best educational advantages during her childhood. She married Ned Lanham, a son of Governor Lanham, to which union two sons were born: Samuel, who was named in honor of his grandfather is a prosperous New York business man; and Edwin, who is gaining fame as a novelist. His well-received book, “The Wind Blew West,” had as its setting the town of Weatherford and Parker County. Since her husband’s death, Mrs. Lanham has spent a number of years in Paris, France, and has traveled much in the Orient, in the United States and Mexico. She is regarded as one of Weatherford’s most cultured and intellectual women.
