William Smith, co-inventor of the 42 Domino Game in Trappe Springs (now known as Garner), Texas in 1887. The photo was taken before his death in 1946 [500×728]

I was fascinated learning that the 42 Domino Game was invented not far from my new "hometown" of Mineral Wells, Texas, in 1887.

This whole area is rich in innovative history in the late 19th Century. Have found great resources at the Mineral Wells Heritage Association Museum
