He was born in Louisiana in 1998 and died in Port Arthur, TX August 29,1928 in some kind of accident at the Texas Company. He was my great grandfather and died 11 days before my father and his twin were born. If you know how I could go about finding out what happened or how I could see the newspaper stories please let me know.
