Title
W.P. Huntley injured while traveling to Stephenville (1905)
Description
An African American man, W.P. Huntley was injured while traveling to Stephenville. It's assumed that this article is talking about the same W.P. Huntley from Pilot Point, since the articles says that he was from a Methodist church, and it was not entirely uncommon for preachers to travel to preach far outside their community even during the early twentieth century.
