Done a bit of digging , Pharr Canal , out of mare called La Fontaine . La Fontaine (La Fonteine) is a County in Louisiana , in that County is a township called New Iberia where in 1872 Henry Newton Pharr was born . You've guessed it Henry Newton Pharr grew up to head the Louisiana -Rio Grande Canal Company . He built a canal near New Iberia called Pharr Canal where now it's pretty good for fishing by all accounts . Straight up legit name in honour of Mr Pharr .

In another state of the USA there once lived a cousin of Henry Newton, one Mr Kennneth Pharr, whose father met and married a Chinese woman, Miss Ah-so, while working on building the Rocky Mountain railroad. They named a railroad tunnel after their first-born - Pharr, Ken Ah-so. Red Rum, kdt and Pam Robson 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponderosa8 1,351 Report post Posted July 6, 2020 Thunderbirds used to be one of my favourite programs, and remember the driver Brains. This is a quietly kept secret and not a well known fact, but Claudia Schiffer married him and now her name is Claudia Schiffer-Brains.
