A Texan’s First Generation Colt sold with a badge tied to a nationwide detective agency.
Born on November 3, 1877, in Hillsboro, Texas, Laney Thomas Cathey was four when the railroad arrived. His relatives believe he worked for the Katy— the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railway—both in Hillsboro and in Denison, where he moved in 1914 and died in 1957.
