Obituary probably from The Frost Newspaper

D.F., son of Mr. and Mrs. Fraisure Spivey, died about 11 o'clock Sunday
night after a short illness.  He died from lockjaw and it is believed by
the physician that lockjaw was produced from vaccination, the vaccine being
impure or poison. Dr. Ellis vaccinated him about four weeks previous to his
death and it was thought he was getting along very well. He kept going to
......(torn), but early last week,  (rest is torn)

This is of special interest to me because this was the best friend of my
uncle, Carl Grimes, who contracted smallpox while showing some prize
chickens in Corsicana at a Fair.  He died Jan 7, 1907.   It was due to
Carl's having smallpox that D.F. Spivey had to be vaccinated.

D.F. Spivey is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery at Blooming Grove.
Date of Death:  Feb 10 1907
