Copyright. All rights reserved http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ********************************************************* Cameron Herald 1906 Newspapers have played an important role through the years by not only bringing us local happenings in the community but also news from across the country and around the world. Over the years many records related to our ancestors were lost or destroyed in fires, floods and other natural disasters. Newspapers contain much information that may not be found elsewhere such as births, marriages, deaths, court notices, land sales, tax notices, businesses, etc. They also hold many glimpses of information in their community news and provide us with fascinating details about the lives of our ancestors. We can all learn a great deal from reading about our past and in turn we shall have a greater understanding and appreciation for the hardships and triumphs our ancestors endured while building a new life in a new land. Many newspapers managed to survive the test of time and can now be found at most state libraries on microfilm and most are available through inter-library loan for viewing at your local library. There are well over 100 million pages of newspapers preserved on microfilm in the United States alone. This is NOT an every name index to the newspapers. Only articles related to births, deaths, marriages, lynchings, murders, etc., for Milam County and the State of Texas are found in this newspaper abstract. The items included in the book are not verbatim recitations of the newspaper articles, they are abstracts or condensed versions. Always refer back to the original source, the actual newspaper.

Sam Houston - Executive Department, Washington, March 28, 1843 - To Maj. Benj. Bryant,4 Indian Agent. Sir: Your letters were handed to me by the Lipans and Toncahuas. I will send forms of returns as soon as they can be prepared. It will be of some importance to have a complete census of those tribes. I hope the Commissioners will succeed in making a desirable treaty at the Waco village.5 If they do, I am anxious that your should cultivate sentiments of friendship on the part of those Indians towards the other tribes. I am desirous of removing every cause of excitement to the Indians on our frontier. The future prosperity of Texas only requires peace to insure protection. I send you a copy of a letter which I had forwarded to you by Yonsey, a Toncahua. I am afraid he did not deliver the original. Until the country has more ability to bestow favors than at present, I am anxious that the Indians should not resort here. To those who have come contrary to my wishes, I have made small presents. I have written by them a letter to Gen. Falco.6 I hope it will be interpreted to him with care. I send him four plugs of tobacco. To his wife I send eleven shawls, the mother of young Flaco that was slain. Of his murder I know nothing; only it is said that Mexicans from the Rio Grande killed him. Maj. Hays has never written to me on the subject. When I get news particular of his death I will write to you and you can inform his father of the facts. If the Lipans and Toncahuas will go out to take satisfaction for his death, tell them by no means to harm women and children. The warrior scorns to hurt a woman or child and only fights with men. I will never shake hands with a red brother that has stained his hands with the blood of women or children. He is a Asquaw; and a coward himself. I will direct the Indians that are here to communicate with their tribes not to come to this place except upon important business that cannot be done by the agent, and I will tell them to speak to their people. And that they are to listen to your talks and walk in the path which you point out to them. When I wish to see them here I will write to you and you can communicate to them my desires. You will permit no persons to trade with Indians nor go among without leave from you; and should you give leave to any, you will report the same to the government by the first opportunity. I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant, Sam Houston. The original letter is in the hands and the property of Jeff T. Kemp, county clerk.

Dallas News Lynching at Rosebud - Last Saturday, a bad negro, Mitchell Frazier, was hanged by a collection of infuriated citizens for cutting with a razor a farmer named Hess. Mr. Hess was going down main street when the negro jostled him. Heater words passed after which Frazier whipped out a razor and made several gashes in Hess on his left-side. It was thought Hess would die. The negro was placed in a calaboose. Later a mob prized it open and securing a rope strung the negro up to a cross piece on a water tank until life was extinct, before the body was cut down, a flash light picture was taken of the gruesome scene. Some young negroes did some talking about what they would do if any violence was attempted on them. These were seized and beaten until they were glad to take to flight. Not a darkey was to be seen when the lynching occurred. The darkeys of Rosebud need a lesson the sooner it is over with the less loss of life. It is thought Hess will recover.
