Surnames: Hamil, Crain Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hkB.2ACE/6066 Message Board Post: Cameron Herald, Thur., 20 Aug 1903 Death - George Hamil, negro, age 19, was drowned last Sunday morning while attempting to cross Little river in a wagon. He was at work this year on the Crain farm and with two other boys tried to cross the river at a dangerous point above the power house. The river was up some and the current was very swift. When about mid-stream, the coupling of the wagon disconnected and the boys were swept down in deep water. Two reached the bank and George sank just before reaching shore. His mother came up from Burleson county on the day before. On Monday, his body had not been recovered.
