p.3, col.3 SHIRLEY, Davis--Died December 2nd 1898. He was born in Lawrence District, South Carolina, August 9th, 1825. He removed to Alabama at the age of three years. While in Alabama
he was married to Miss Elizabeth J. ANDREWS. Nine children were born to them, seven of whom are still living, Rev. J.W. and Rev. E.D. SHIRLEY of Burnet county; H.M. SHIRLEY of Burnet
county, Texas; E.A. SHIRLEY of Robertson county, Mrs. Anna SHEROD of Llano county; Mrs. Fannie PARKER of Liberty county and Mrs. Melvina KIRK of Brazos. All were at his bedside except
Mrs. SHEROD and Mrs. PARKER. In 1874 he removed to Leon county, Texas, thence to Brazos county in 1875. His wife died June 10th, 18+9 and was buried at Rector's chapel. He afterwards
moved to the Reliance neighborhood and on September 17th, 1884 was married to Mrs. E.C. RILEY. Six children were born to them. Five of this number are still living. He joined the Methodist
church early in life and he lived a consistent member of this church until he moved to Reliance neighborhood. He there connected himself with the Missionary Baptist church and was baptized
by Rev. F.M. WALKER and was ordained a deacon of that church. He spent the
84 closing years of his life a consistent member and deacon of that church. He left a wife and twelve children, two step-sons and two step-daughters and a host of friends to mourn the
loss of so good a husband and father, who have the blessed assurance of meeting him again. The funeral services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. J.M. BULLOCK amid a large concourse
of sorrowing friends and relatives. His life was worthy of emulation, a benediction to all who came within the circumference of his heavenly ministration. Death has robbed a happy home
where love reigned supreme. His work is finished, his armor laid down, he has gone home to heaven to receive that shining crown which was prepared for him. We have lost an earnest and
devoted Christian, who, in his long connection with us, had endeared himself to us in bonds of affection. Our community has lost a respected and enthusiastic christian and a devoted
friend. Oh, we shall miss him, yet, we bow submissively to the divine dispensation, knowing that the hand of God was in it. We tender our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family and
relatives in this hour of great trouble. We unite our sorrow with them in mourning the loss of a devoted husband and father, yet we point them to the God of love and mercy who worketh
all things well to them that love him, and who is able and ready to unit them in a home where parting never comes. A Friend. December 15, 1898, p.3, col.4 ROBERSON, Mrs. E.A.--Mrs. E.A.
ROBERSON was born in Baltom county, Georgia, March 8th, 1831. She departed this life at the home of her son seven miles northwest of Bryan, Dec. 10th, 1898. She was united with the Baptist
church in 1873 and has lived a consistent member until called up higher. Her life was characterized by a strong sympathy and a friendship that was ever steadfast and true. Every sufferer,
from the smallest upward, found a ministering friend in her. In her death the church sustains a serious loss and her friends a warm personal friend and the family a devoted Christian
mother. She leaves one son and several grandchildren, with many friends to mourn the loss of a true mother and friend. May the same loving Father, who has taken her from our midst, soothe
the sorrows of her bereaved relatives and friends until they shall be reunited in the Paradise of God. A Friend. January 5, 1899, p.5, col.1 CREWS, Mrs. W.N.--Thursday. Mrs. W.N. CREWS

on the line of Walker and Grimes counties, was accidently killed by a falling gun at his home Sunday morning. He was sitting in the house and upon being called to breakfast by his wife,
picked up his chair and put it over his shoulder to carry into the next room. While passing through the door, a gun in the rack above the door was dislodged by the chair and fell to
the floor, the muzzle striking against BAGWELL'S left side. The force of the fall discharged the gun and its contents entered the young man's side ranging upward, and death resulted
almost instantly. February 3, 1899, p.1, col.4 (Bryan Morning Eagle) COL. CHATHAM NO MORE. Suddenly Dies at his Home in Bryan Yesterday. A Hero in War. An Honored Citizen in Peace, Mourned
by a Host of Relatives, Comrades and Friends. Col. R.K. CHATHAM died suddenly at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his house in the northern part of the city. The summons came swiftly
and without warning. A few minutes before his death he had been chatting pleasantly with members of the family. His wife heard him fall, and when she rushed to his assistance he essayed
to speak, but his words were unintelligible and in a few moments the noble spirit took its flight. The news of his death spread rapidly, and was a great shock to the people of Bryan,
who knew and loved him so well, and who in turn were so well loved by him. Friends assembled at the family home, so suddenly enveloped by the shadow of death, and loving words and tender
ministrations were not wanting for those to whose lips was swiftly pressed by an unseen hand the cup of anguish. Col. Roland Kinchen CHATHAM was born near Greensboro, Perry county, Ala.,
June 19, 1834, and was 64 years, 7 months and 13 days old. He came to Texas in October, 1850, settling at Leona in Leon county, where he resided until the breaking out of the civil war.
Sept. 7, 1861, he enlisted at Houston in the Eighth cavalry, famous in history for all time as Terry's Texas Rangers. He was with the army of Tennessee under Generals BRAGG and JOHNSTON,
and was conspicuous for his daring, coolness and indifference
88 to danger. His comrades say of him that on the field of battle amid scenes of carnage and the rain of shot and shell, he was as self-possessed as when telling stories about the campfire,
and was the impersonation of that intrepid valor which made the Southern soldier the wonder of the world. During BRAGG's advance in Kentucky Col CHATHAM was wounded in the memorable
engagement near Bardstown. A rifle ball entered his forehead and penetrated to the back of his head, where it remained throughout his life. He was also taken prisoner at this time and
removed to the hospital at Bardstown, where physicians declared that he could not live, but contrary to their expectations, upon recovering consciousness and learning of their decision,
he lightly jested about the ability of Yankee lead to kill him and got well. After several months' imprisonment he was exchanged, sent back to Texas, commissioned as a captain and assigned
to duty as enrolling officer until the end of the war. Subsequently he traveled extensively extensively selling machinery throughout the state; and moved to Bryan in 1869, he being engaged
in the manufacture of gin machinery here for a quarter of a century under the name of R.K. CHATHAM & Co., which became one of the most successful manufacturing enterprises in the state,
known since his retirement as the CHATHAM Machinery Company. Soon after locating here Col. CHATHAM was married to Miss Fannie McMORRIS at Raven Hill, Polk county, Texas. His wife and
three sons, Ralph, Webb and Bell CHATHAM, survive him. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. W.R. RHODES of this city, and Mrs Emily MURIF of Leona and other relatives. He was a member of
the Methodist church, a comrade of Camp J.B. ROBERTSON U.C.V., a sir knight of Ivanhoe commandery No. 8 Knights Templar, and an honored citizen and chivalrous gentleman, who will be
sadly missed, not only in Bryan, but throughout and beyond the borders of the state, by the numberless friends he has made during a long and eventful life. To meet him once was to remember.

who was burned to death at Corsicana, were brought here yesterday afternoon and buried in the city cemetery. The funeral took place from the depot immediately after the arrival of the

formerly of Bryan, and now of Corsicana, came down yesterday to attend the funeral of his sister, Mrs. Dora NEWMAN. Mr. BUTLER is a brother-in-law of Mr. W.B. ROMAN. February 16, 1899,

Calvert yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. Col. FALCONER was a native of Alabama, and lived in Bryan many years, having at different times been connected with both the local papers as
editor. Later he moved back to his native state and on coming to Texas again, located at Navasota, from which place he recently moved to Calvert. He was a man of remarkable energy and
vitality and powerful intellect, and a writer who had few equals. He was distinctly a representative of the ante-bellum South, and time and change were powerless to remove the impress
of that epoch from his life. The Eagle knows of no greater tribute to his memory than to say of him that he was an old time Southern gentleman in all the term implies. We reverently
commend his soul to God, and the memory of his life to the living. The remains of the venerable Colonel Wm. FALCONER were brought here from Calvert Saturday afternoon for interment.
The funeral took place immediately after the arrival of the train. The service was conducted by Rev. Dr. BOWERS. The pall bearers were Col. M.W. SIMS, Gen. H.B. STODDARD, Prof. L.L.

yesterday. Robin was about sixteen years old and was brought to Bryan about eight or ten years ago from Waxahachie. He was high-spirited and could make a mile up to three minutes, being
regarded as one of the best drivers ever brought to this place. One of his escapades several years ago was to dash through the basement story of the main building at the A. and M. College
with an empty buggy, having gotten loose during commencement exercises. March 2, 1899, p.6, col.3 MOORE, Joe--Town and Country. Wednesday. Joe MOORE, colored, died yesterday morning.

here because of his manly character. He was a brother of Mrs. W.W. HARRIS of this city and of Messrs. Richard and Tom NEWLAND. The Eagle deplores his death which came just when he was
grown to manhood, and we desire to express sincere sympathy. The funeral took place from the residence of Mr. W.W. HARRIS in this city at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. March 30, 1899, p.3,

the H.C.V. [Hill County Volunteers] got his leg broken by a wagon running over it. On the following morning before Aurora dawned, all were on the march and every company striving to
get before, when several companies mistook the road; when they found it out, they came back at the top of their speed and such charging through the timber and confusion I never witnessed
before, but they could not gain their former position and had to fall in the rear. When near Millican we fired two salutes to warn them of our approach. The regiment was then formed
in a solid column of fours and marched through the town with banners unfurled and arms presented. We crossed the

by the late storm, which was at its height here Thursday night and all Friday, is estimated at from $5000 to $6000. The new two story brick store of D. MIKE & Co., just finished, was
blown down. Loss about $ 4000. Other stores were more or less damaged. Dwelling houses were blown off their foundations and trees and fences blown down. The damage to the cotton is very
great. This county loses from five to six thousand bales. A son of J.M. ROBINSON, who keeps a livery stable here, was sent out by his father last Friday morning, during the storm, to
drive a man to Caldwell. On returning to Bryan he was drowned in a creek about three miles from here. The creek was high and rapid, and it is supposed that when the hack went into the
water it turned over and was taken down by the water. The hack was fastened up all around, and it is thought that he was drowned before he had time to get out. The horses were found
drowned and still hitched to the hack a few yards below the crossing. Robinson's body was found a quarter of a mile below the crossing half buried in the sand. Galveston Daily News,

CHEATHAM and Deputy Sheriff BAKER. TATUM was caught. Later Chief MARTIN took Tatum to his home and there found lingerie and a supply of silk hosiery and a ladies' gold watch, old fashioned
in design, with the monogram CET on the back. The watch, the police hope, may serve to connect TATUM with some of the burglaries reported here in the last three or four weeks. Bryan

thereof in the town of Boonville on the fifth Monday after the fourth Monday in September next, to answer the petition of Sarah Ann LEMON, filed in said Court, wherein aid Sarah Ann
alleges that she was lawfully married to said William LEMON on the 17th day of July 1855, and lived with
106 him for two or three months in the discharge of her duties as wife, when she separated from him on account of his bad and unaffectionate conduct; that she again joined her fortunes
to him, hoping some change had taken place, and that she would be treated with the love and respect due a wife, but to no purpose. She still received the same ill treatment in a worse
degree from her said husband, and was again forced to quit his bed and board; that her said ill treatment continued to grow worse until their final separation, in September, 1857. Petitioner
alleges that said LEMON was guilty of habitual drunkenness and brutality -that he left his home and family unprovided for months, while he was surfeited in vice and crime, whilst petitioner
was alone with her little daughter, with nothing to eat or wear, except what she begged or earned by hard labor. That when said LEMON did return it was not with the smile of a true husband,
but with the frown of a demon, so that petitioner was in habitual fear for the safety of herself and child. In sooth her feelings were trampled on; her voice disregarded, and her endeavor
to reform said LEMON hooted at; that he with plottings and devices sought to insnare and take her life on divers occasions before the separation; that he laid a scheme to take her life,
in February, 1857; which conduct petitioner alleges is insupportable, and she therefore prays that said William LEMON may be cited to answer said complaint, and upon final hearing of
the same for a decree dissolving the bonds of matrimony between petitioner and said Wm. LEMON, and for general relief. And M.F. GUEST, attorney for petitioner, has made oath that the
residence of said Wm. LEMON is unknown. Herein fail not, of this write make due return and your action thereon. Witness, ARTHUR EDWARDS, clerk of the District Court of Brazos County,
