The Southern Democrat, 14 Jun 1906 Blountite In Texas. Since writing last I have visited several places in Texas, some of which I will mention. I visited the town of Morgan in Bosque county. Here is where my brother Ellis and sister Artie and Jinnie Rutherford were buried. I went to the cemetery with my dear brother's wife and there I could see nothing but the little mound that marked their resting place. As I turned and walked away I could only say "peace be still I'll meet you in the sweet beyond." Every one who knew them, says: "there never were better people buried in a Texas graveyard." I then visited others of the family who reside near Morgan. There I found the once little boy who use to plow on the hills of old Blount without any hands to work, herdsman of twelve hundred sheep, for which he is getting a sufficient amount for a living and is banking some money. I visited Venus, where I found Mr. George Mitchell's family-all seem to be getting along nicely. George wasn't at home, being a contractor on the railroad. I then went out six miles to Mr. Robert Huey's, one of Blount's old citizens, and it is just enough to say-they are getting along nicely. Mrs. H. is the baby child of Uncle Jesse Robinett, the oldest man in Blount, and to him I will say, weep not for your baby for she is all that heart could wish-as a mother, wife and daughter. I also visited Mr. Dan Murphree. I hardly know what to say about our Dan. His move to Texas was such a success that my pencil would fail to write it down-he has a 'phone in his house. And there's one more-Mr. Ed. Palmer-of whom it is enough to say, he is worth his thousands, whereas if he had remained in Blount he would have been as poor as a buzzard. He also has a 'phone. They say the young folks take it at night about sitting up with the 'phone. I am now the guest of W.W. Major and will, in a few days, go about three hundred miles farther west. D.A. Bynum.
