He was born on July 23, 1854, in the state of Mississippi, and spent much of his life devoted to ranching and farming. Mr. Honea made his home in Cleburne for approximately ten years prior to his death, residing at 213 Forest Ave. He was a hardworking man whose occupation was listed as ranching and farming, a way of life that shaped both his character and his legacy. Thomas was the son of John Wesley Honea (1832–1908) and Susan E. Blackmon Honea (1836–1906). He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Nannie Dixon Poole Honea (1859–1924), with whom he shared many years of marriage and family life.
