General: BIRTH: Date from father's bible photo copy. DEATH: Tombstone recorded in Bosque County Texas Cemetery Records Vol I or II. Murdered by a man who had borrowed a plow. When he went to get his plow he was shot. The citizens were outraged and formed a posse which went after him "like he was a mad dog ... and killed him like a rattlesnake".
