                               Ned Winslett Dies

  Ned Winslett, a citizen of Kimble county for nearly 60 years, died at his
home on the South Llano River last Saturday, July 2.  The body was prepared
for burial by the Schreiner-Hodges Company and interment was made in the 
Junction Cemetery Monday afternoon, Rev. James J. Kellam officiating.
  The deceased was born in Tallahassee, Alabama, July 10, 1853, being 86
years, 11 months and 22 days old at the time of his death.  He had been in
ill health for many months, but was able to be in town only a few days
before his death.
  He came to Kimble county when a young man and was a favorite cook among
the old cow hands in the early days of the county.  When cattle were driven
to the distant railroad shipping points, Ned accompanied many of them as 
cook.  For several years he has been too old to work, and lived alone in his
little home on the banks of the Llano.  Last year his home burned but he
rebuilt a small home on the same site where he lived until claimed by death.
  Mr. Winslett never married, but he has many relations in various sections
of the country.  Mrs. Joe B. Winslett and Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Rankin of Dallas
came to look after funeral arrangements.
