- W3128662227 abstract "On August 3, 1925, as he did on most mornings, James Greeley McGowin rose early. McGowin owned the W. T. Smith Lumber Co. in Chapman, Alabama.

McGowin, the patriarch of one of the South’s most prominent families, decided he owed a duty to Webb. It seems he made an oral promise to pay Webb an annuity for the rest of Webb’s life at the rate of $15 every two weeks, beginning from the date of his injury2. The payments were made regularly until McGowin died on January 1, 1934, and then continued for anot" @default.
