- DIED. Thomas Blasingame, 91, believed to be the oldest
- working cowboy in Texas; in Goodnight, Texas. A bowlegged
- cowpoke, he started his career in 1916 at the JA Cattle Co.
- ranch for $30 a month and worked under the searing sun for the
- next seven decades. Blasingame was found lying on his back near
- a creek, his hands folded on his chest, his horse nearby -- the
- way he said in a newspaper interview last summer he wanted to
- die.
