T. J. Faught settled in northeast Scurry County in 1879 as a rancher. In 1884, six months after county organization, the first sheriff resigned in disgust, and Faught was appointed to serve the rest of that term and three more. As sheriff, he never wore a gun. He was also a leading citizen of Snyder, built a hall for the Masonic Lodge of which he was a charter member, and had Faught Street, now 27th Street, named in his honor.
