Howdy all, For those of you that heard & asked, yes a tornado did hit our town, & yes our daughter was hurt in it. She did NOT break anything, including her nose. She suffered a concussion, but is over it all now. Our home was not hit, but our future son-in-laws was & there was $35,000-$40,000 worth of damage to his home, about 1/2 mile from us. Also I got a new pc last month, & am just this weekable to moving file over. My old ISP, txu, is no longer servicing our area, so I also have a new addy. <nana321@earthlink.net> Please make note of it.

A pall of sadness was cast over the community this morning by the death of Mrs S B FRANK. She died at 9 o'clock after a painful illness of five days. Leaving two small children deprived of a loving mother's tender care, and a kind husband to mourn the loss of a pure devoted and trusing wife. She was born June 29, 1857 and was 29 years and three months old at the time of her death. She was married in 1883 and has proved herself to be a loving wife and devoted mother. During her illness, which was painful in extreme, kind friends and dear relations ministered to her faithfully. She met death without a cloud or a fear expressing her willingness to "go" and bade her friends and relatives goodbye and counselled her husband. The bereaved husband and little motherless children have the heartfelt sypmathies and sincere condolences of the entire community. The funeral services will be conducted by the Rev. S S SCOTT. Mr. R B GRAYSON of Navarro Co, has been visiting his sister Mrs Dr GRIFFIN for several weeks.. He seems to have created quite a sensation among the young ladies.

Robert went off on horseback it is supposed to call on some young ladies. He had no company. This was about (???can't make out time) in the evening and though Robert was well acquainted with the river and it's force when he rode up he rode into it. He was seen to enter the water by several persons on each bank. In the current of the stream some brush entangled his horse and caused horse and rider to drift down. At considerable distance both horse and rider sank out of sight, when the horse rose but Robert was seen no more. The horse landed alive in the big bottom below Capt McCOWNS farm. A party was immediately organized and made search for Robert's body which they found in the river adjacent to Capt. McCOWN's field. Robert was about nineteen, a good rider and swimmer and it astonished his acquaintances, his death by these means. John H WHITE the efficient deputy sheriff of Morgan was in Meridian on Monday and admitted that he was a know nothing.

Hi list, found this while browsing on another site...thought someone might be interested Rockdale Messenger, Thur., 13 July 1899 Death - Waco, July 11 - R. M. Conley, deputy sheriff of Bosque county was killed Sunday night on an excursion train on the Texas Central between Morgan and Walnut Springs. He was trying to arrest Ed Burrow of Hico who had drawn a pistol on a passenger and had presented his own revolver as he demanded Burrow's surrender. Burrow grabbed the officer's gun and being a powerful man, turned the muzzle of the weapon to Conley's side. The pistol discharged, the ball sawing through the officer's body. He died yesterday afternoon at his home in Iredell. Burrow was held for murder. He declares Officer Conley shot himself. Conley maintained until the last that he had not cocked his pistol but that it was fired by Burrow. The train on which the killing took place was crowded with Woodmen of the World and their friends who had attended the unveiling exercises in this city Sunday.

Hi Everyone, Bettie asked me to past this on to you especially for any newbies we may have. Linda The old genealogy scam is back. www.genseekers.com Behind the password protection are links to the free genealogy on-line. There is no content of their own. In order to get the "5-day free trial" you have to surrender a credit card or bank account number. You have to cancel within 5 days or you get dinged. Guess what? The cancellation e-mail bounces. Does this surprise you? One person who recently fell for the come-on had his/her account dinged not once, but twice. It is time to remind folks on your state and county mailing lists about these scoundrels. It has been a couple of years since we have mentioned this. Permission is granted to pass this on.
