Milford, Texas May 30.

Rufus Andrew McCain, 89, Ellis County pioneer, died at his home here Friday
night following a long illness.

Mr. McCain was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Peter McCain who came to Texas
in a covered wagon in 1865 first settling in Red River County, later moving to
Ellis Count in the Bee Creek community west of Italy. Upon his marriage in 1877

than fifty years. The gift was on condition that the son would wind the clock at
c o'clock each evening, that being he hour of his wedding.  Mr. McCain has often

failed to carry out his parents request.
