Extracted from The Democrat, newspaper from McKinney, Collin County Texas, Thursday, February 25, 1904, Vol. 21, No. 4, Page 1;
The following paragraphs were taken from the biography of Alfred Chandler:
"In 1850 he (Alf Chandler) bought the lot on the west side of the public square, where Jesse Shain's office is now located, for $50. He bought it from Jonathan Allen. The property now is worth several thousand dollars. Mr. Chandler and Joshua Dillingham intended to open up a store on the spot, but the latter died in New Orleans soon afterwards, where he had gone to purchase their stock. He then sold to (sic) lot to Ed Whitely, who conducted a saloon and who later sold out to Uncle Burl Stiff.
Mrs. Chandler, then Miss Mary Magner, and Joshua Dillingham were attendants at the wedding of Dr. G. A. Foote and Miss Jane McGarrah. Uncle Alf was one of the invited guests and loaned Mr. Dillingham, the best man, his coat to "stand up" in during the ceremony."
