M., DR. - Died at Three Rivers, New Mexico, July 12, 1908. He was raised in this county, and received the principal part of his education in this city, attending the schools under the management of such men as Morgan H. Looney and Judge J.H. Dinsmore. He studied medicine after his marriage and attended medical schools, afterward became a permanent physician of this county. He was forced by reason of his health to leave this county to seek a climate that held out hopes of resistance to the terrible malady that was undermining his health. He left a dear wife and four devoted children. His oldest child, a boy, is now 21 years of age, and is superintendent of education of the county in which the family resides. We all remember this boy Lacy, who, when quite a child, suffered the misfortune of losing both of his hands in an accident at the old Cotton Seed Mill here in Sulphur Springs. He is a remarkable young man. (S.S. Gazette
