    • They operated the Williams Hotel for many years, the first one built from the court-room of the last frame Court House in Hemphill. It was completely destroyed by a fire during the night of Feb 26, 1918, which also destroyed other business buildings on the side of the Square, including the Hemphill Drug. Dr. D.G. Mann and Pat Murphy (partner of Jim Fuller) escaped the burning hotel from a window upstairs by tying sheets together and climbing down. At that time the hotel was being managed by County Sheriff Bosco Bright and his wife, Nettie, who was a sister of Sim Williams. They were the parents of Sid Bright. (White and Toole, p 68).
