16 Mar 1899 Page 3 A new little daughter arrived last night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Henry. **************** Page 4 Sammy Williams, son of Gip William, colored, died at his home in this city yesterday and was buried at 10 o'clock this morning. ***************** 22 Mar 1899 Page 4 Another little son arrived last night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lee. ***************** 25 Mar 1899 Page 4 Died From the Wounds George Bell, who was shot Friday noon on Boone's farm by Henry Williams died last night, the gun shot wounds being too terrible for medical skill to coax life to remain in the same tenement with. The cause of the shooting is briefly put down by Williams to have been Bell's prowling about his house at unseemly hours and maybe envy of his wife; while Bell is reputed to bear the reputation of a "conjurer," and which fact may have had something to do with his taking off. ****************** 12 Apr 1899 Page 1 A son and heir was born to Mr. and Mrs. Tom ? Owen Monday night. ***************** 15 Apr 1899 Page 1 Matilda Washington, a negro woman 75 years old, was buried yesterday afternoon in the colored folks' cemetery; having finished this life's journey at her home in the First Ward the night before. ****************** Page 4 Death of Mrs. Skelton At 11:30 o'clock this forenoon the earthly spirit of Mrs. Adell R. Skelton passed beyond the river of death to that land where pain and sorrow are unknown. She had been sick for a long time, but with christian fortitude bore the trials, in the same manner in which she lived her long life - quite, peaceful and patient; recognizing that the end was nigh and abiding in the wisdom of her Maker. Mrs. Skelton wa born 64 years, 8 months and 19 days ago in Ringgo county, Alabama, and came to Texas with her parents in early days. She married Will Stevens in Wharton county, of which union B. Lee Stevens, of Navasota, is the only survivor; and deceased's only child. Mr. Stevens died on Roans Prairie in Grimes county and the widow remained in that neighborhood till she was married to J. A. Skelton in 1878. Mr. Skelton passed away in 1889. The funeral will take place from the home of Mr. Stevens at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and the interment will be made in the City cemetery; to which friends and acquaintances are extended an invitation. ****************** Personal Mention Miss Eloise Wood is quite sick. S. Baker went to Plantersville this morning. Mrs. Ivy Brooks is in Caldwell visiting her mother. Col. W. W. Meachum was here from Anderson today. Dr. Otto Howe, of Washington, was in Navasota today. Mrs. Abe Blumenthal and children returned last evening from a visit to Bryan. John Felder left for Brenham yesterday evening. He will return about Monday. E. C. Hughes, Eugene Ewing and Dr. T. C. Hairston, of Whitman, are in the city today. Isidore Goodman is taking a lay off, and going through a spell of illness in the meantime. R. P. Siddall, of White Hall, and C. A. Stone, of Yarboro, are in the city today on business. A. W. Morris, of Montgomery, who has been to Austin, passed through the city today en route home. Mrs. Dr. Johnston and Mrs. J. R. Howell were in the city today from Anderson, on a shopping tour. S. B. Rucker, Marshall Peterson and Ed Kelley are up toward North Grimes today on important business. Mrs. J. E. Clarke and children went to Hempstead yesterday evening to spend a short while with relatives. Mrs. Hal Holland and daughter, Louise, departed this morning for their home in Eminence, Ky., after a short but pleasant visit to relatives here. Misses Lill Tuck and Egland Neblett, of Anderson, returned home today, after a few days' visit here to Misses Nannie Montgomery and Stella Easley. Mrs. R. W. Wagoner arrived here yesterday evening from her home in the Indian Territory for the purpose of visiting her mother, Mrs. E. G. Owen, and other relatives. ****************** How they Stood In today's Galveston News appears a list of Texas counties grouped into the thirteen districts, formed by the United States census bureau and the number of inhabitants accredited to each of them. In this table old Grimes shows up quite well, which standing she will certainly retain when the 1900 census is compiled and given to the public. Grimes county's population was put at 21,312; the figures of our neighbors are: Waller, 10,888; Montgomery, 11,765; Walker, 12,874; Madison, 8,512; Brazos, 16,650. Washington leads Grimes a little, her figures are: 29, 161. . . . Eleanor Colson

Driveway on left side of highway leads to old Barnes home. Cemetery is southwest of home. Owned by Oliver Hill & not open to the public. That's what the index says - not sure if he is still the owner or not, but anyway, hope that helps.
