Newton County Historical Committee, "Glimpses of Newton County History," (Nortex Press, Burnet, Texas, c. 1982) notes that E. D. Downs was a colorful figure in Newton County affairs, from Talbottom, Georgia. He served as County Commissioner, sheriff and tax collector.He was said to have been one of the best sherrifs in East Texas. He went into the logging business with Ed Ellington and T. J. Trotti, and they sold out to Kirby Lumber Company in 1901, at which time moved to San Augustine and engaged in the mercantile and banking business with his son-in-law, John D. Clark.
