Biographical History

The New Mexico Wool Growers Association (NMWGA) began as the Stock Growers' Association of New Mexico, an organization formed in 1884 and described in the 1968 NMWGA convention program as "a loosely organized group of local livestock protective associations determined to maintain a Territory-wide organization." This was too general to meet the needs of those in the business of sheep raising and wool producing, so the New Mexico Wool Growers Association was organized in 1906. The first officers of the new organization were Solomon Luna, President; A. D. Garrett; and Harry F. Lee. The following individuals served as president of the organization:

Solomon Luna, Los Lunas, 1906-1912 H.C. Abbott, Springer,1912-1916 Eduardo M. Otero, Los Lunas, 1916-1920 Prager Miller, Roswell, 1920-1925 David Farr, Magdalena, 1926-1927* Floyd W. Lee, San Mateo, 1927-1959 W. E. Overton, Yeso, 1960-1961 Charles D. Fuller, Roswell, 1962-1963 Robert F. Corn, Roswell, 1964-1965 Abe M. Peña, Grants, 1966-1967 Phelps White, Roswell, 1968-1969 W. A. Snipes, Roswell, 1970-(1971)

* "Mr. Farr died June 12, 1927, while serving his second term. Floyd W. Lee, then a vice-president, was named acting president to complete the term, was elected president in 1928 and continued to serve by unanimous annual re-election until the convention of 1960." -66th Annual Convention Program, December 8-10, 1968
