Thomas E. Bugbee, 59, a Panhandle rancher and leading Northwest Texas Episcopal layman, died in a Dallas Hospital Friday night, March 18, following a long illness. He was the owner of the Tumbling T Ranch near Goodnight and for three years he had managed the T/V Ranch south of Wellington, owned original by the late Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Craven, parents of Mrs. Bugbee.

He was the grandson of Thomas S. Bugbee, the first white man to settle permanently in the Texas Panhandle, coming in 1876. His grandparents lived first near Canadian, then on the Bugbee-Coleman Shoebar Ranch, the first ranch in Hall County.

Following his father's death in 1917, Mr. Bugbee moved with his family to California and attended school at Long Beach and the University of California at Berkley.

He was married to Miss Ann Craven June 25, 1932.
