He had just arrived to young manhood, with prospects of a useful life opening up before him. His parents are well known of Jack County and also have many friends in Jacksboro who sympathize with them in the death of their son. The Jacksboro Gazette Thursday, November 21, 1912 Ernest Loyd Middlebrooks, was born in Jack County 20 March 1897 and died 27 October 1912. He leaves both parents, 2 brothers, four sisters, other relatives and many dear school mates to mourn his death. One sister and one brother have gone before him. His parents have lost a kind and dutiful son; brothers and sisters have lost a loving and affectionate brother.
