Panther, John - Memphis Enquirer 20th (May 10, 1860) - A passenger by the name
of John Panther was seized with apoplexy when the boat was near Helena and
died in a few moments afterward. He had but a short time previously deposited
with Capt. Booker, the clerk, for safe keeping, the sum of $1138 which is
still in the hands of the official, awaiting the order of the friends or
relatives of the deceased. From papers found in the possession of Mr. Panther,
it was ascertained that he was from Mount Pleasant, Titus County, Texas, where
it also appeared he has a family at present residing. His remains were
properly interred at Helena. ( Reprinted in The Weekly Telegram, May 29, 1860)
