• Notes

  Edward Lewis Speed was one of several children. Full family information is available from Chuck Speed of Texas. Edward Lewis Speed (nicknamed Ed) grew up as a young man at the family homestead in Cordell, Oklahoma. After visiting Clarendon, Texas around 1906 during the July 4th celebration, he convinced his father Henry Lewis Speed to move there in 1907-08. Ed and his brother Charles shared a successful construction business in the Clarendon area for a number of years. Ed later entered into a father & son construction partnership with his only son, Homer Charles Speed. All members of this family are buried in Clarendon.
