Surnames: Gray Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hkB.2ACE/5795 Message Board Post: Cameron Herald – Thur., 21 August 1902 Death - Conflicting reports have been published concerning the death of Miss Nellie Gray, age 13, daughter of Dr. & Mrs. E. H. Gray at Rogers last week. R. F. Pool of Cameron went to Rogers the next day and from him we obtain the following statement which he secured from members of the family and is correct: It was late Tuesday afternoon when the distressing accident happened. Miss Nellie had been curling her mother’s hair and when Mrs. Gray attempted to blow out the lamp used, the flames went down, ignited the oil, causing the lamp to explode. Mrs. Gray’s clothes were set on fire and Miss Nellie in her efforts to aid her mother, caught fire and ran out into the yard, where the breeze fanned the flames, causing her to be frightfully burned. She died within a few hours, it being impossible to relieve her. She was buried in Rogers cemetery the afternoon of the next day. Mrs. Gray was painfully burned but will recover.

Surnames: Dunovant, Eldridge Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hkB.2ACE/5792 Message Board Post: Cameron Herald – Thur., 21 August 1902 Trial - W. T. Eldridge, charged with the murder of Capt. Dunovant had an examining trial in Houston before Judge W. H. Wilson last Friday and bond was set at $25,000. Dunovant served in the Confederate army when but 15-years old in Evans’ brigade, McLaw’s division. His left arm was shattered at the second battle of Manasas and he lost his right arm at the battle of Petersburgh crater. He was an impetuous, overbearing man but was the soul of honor and integrity. In 1898 he was associated with Eldridge in the construction of the Cane Belt road and testimony showed there had been trouble between the two men for some time. At the primary election at Eagle Lake on July 19th, the two men met and Dunovant drew a revolver and a shooting melee was averted by the retreat of Eldridge. When Dunovant was shot, he had a revolver in his coat pocket and the supposition is that it hung when he attempted to draw it. It was turned sideways in his pocket and the hammer was faste! ned in the cloth.

Penny, There are NO copies of the CAMERON HERALD for the years 1896, 1897, 1989, 1899 or 1900 ... we have 1895 and then it skips to 1901 ... Your best bet is to check with GALVESTON DAILY NEWS or HOUSTON POST newspaper for 1900 ... these two newspapers picked-up lots of news from Milam County ... Do you have a date of death for him?
