Thomas' residence on North Creek was burned and Mrs. Thomas was cremated in the building. Mr. Thomas was in the field plowing when he discovered the house on fire, and before he could arrive the house was enveloped in flames, and his wife was not to be found until her remains were discovered in the ashes. How the fire originated no one knows as Mrs. Thomas who was an invalid was alone in the house at the time. Jacksboro Gazette Jacksboro, Texas Thursday, December 15, 1904
