NABORS, J. C. - Of this city, was found dead in a creek, five miles northwest
of Lindale, Smith County, Texas, Wednesday, and the meager reports received
here indicate that he was murdered. Mr. Nabors had been working for the pipe
line company at Lindale. He finished his work up, sold one span of his mules
and started home in a two-horse wagon. His dead body was found, as stated
above, in a creek. The team was on the bridge of the creek, near where the
body was found. Mr. Nabors had a severe wound on his head, which might have
been caused from a blow. He had sent $115.00 to the City National Bank; the
money arriving here the morning of his death. The remains were expected here
last night on the Katy, and if there is no delay of the corpse in transit, the
funeral will occur at the city cemetery sometime this afternoon. Mr. Nabors
was 67 years of age and had lived in Hopkins county for the past twenty-five
or thirty years. He lived for a time on the Hargrove farm just north of town;
then near Martin Springs for twelve years; moving to this city and buying the
Sour Well Hotel about the 1st of last February. He leaves a wife and seven
children. (Sulphur Springs Gazette, Oct. 15, 1915)
