The Stamford News
Nov. 25, 1904
Vol. 5, No. 39

Disappearance of Roscoe Orr and the search concluded when the horses were found near 
Dickens City with a part of the harness on them; soon after the buggy was found with 
Mr. Orr’s body under it, the dashboard being across the neck. It appears 
that the horses ran off or became unmanageable in some way and left the road and 
ran over an embankment, throwing the buggy on top of Mr. Orr, perhaps breaking his neck. 
The time of the occurrence must have been soon after dark from the time he left Clipper, 
and that night was very cold. This occurred Wednesday, the 8th, and the body lay there 
till Monday the 21st, before it was discovered. On Monday Penick-Hughes Co., sent a
 metallic-lined box for the body. The interment will be in the cemetery at Anson.
	We have known Roscoe for the last five years. He was a young man of fine qualities.

For the second time in 18 months, the death angel has come to the home of Mr. W.J. and 
Minne Medford, of Haskell Co., Texas., this time taking their youngest child, 
Randolph Lafayette. He was born April 30, 1903 and on Nov. 11, 1904, 
his spirit passed up to God.
--Geo. A. Nance.
