Mrs. M. A. Welker’s son-in-law,
Georgie Routt, who married her
I. oldest daughter, Zella, was found
<* murdered near Bonham Saturday
September 6th. The Bonham Daily
Favorite gives the following account
of his death:
The dead man who was found
near the Texas and Pacific tracks
a few miles west of Bells Friday
has been identified as George
Routt, aged 55 years, whose home
is at Lamasco, 18 miles from Bon-
, ham.
Kx. Frjday afternoon about 3 o’clock
while unloading a carload of rocks
from a train to be used in re-
raffing the dam at the city lake. ]
some blood and hair were found i xx/’ii o Juncti-
on the rocks. Railway employees j Will DFOaClCaSt
immediately called Deputy Sheriff
Jack Leonard who hurried to the
scene. An investigation revealed
J that they were from a human and
k a further investigation led to the
I belief that Routt was murdered
and his body placed near the track
i or he may have been killed on a
train and his body thrown off. His
!_Jjead . .was badly mashed and his
■hro^t cut.
relatives of deceased at Lamasco
were notified who went to Sher-
man and identified the man who
was about 55 years of age. They
’ said he left home about two weeks
ago, going to Borger, Texas, ac-
companied by his son, aged about
20. Nothing was heard of the dead
man until his body was found. Up
to this morning the whereabouts of
the son have not been located.
The family said they knew of no
ill feeling towards the dead man.
He had $25 in cash when he left
home two weeks ago.
Officers from the sheriff’s de-
partment in Bonham are working
with officers from Grayson county
in solving the crime. Thus far no
clues of a tangible nature have
been developed. •
Mr. Routt was one of the best
known citizens of the Lamasco
community. He is survived by his
widow and several children, all of
which are about grown. The fun-
. eral was held at Lamasco Sunday,
' September 7th.

had souvenirs frbhi many of the

in comprehensive and interesting
way. One of the main principles

directors, who had met Tuesday
night. A -resolution was presented j
to the club individually and collec-

of Nocona and City Commission
asking for a municipal building.
This resolution was carried unani-
mously by the club. The question
of a united charity organization for
Nocona was discussed, and a com-
mitee appointed to see the business
men of the city with the idea in
view of organizing. The club was
adjourned at 1:15 p.m.

ENJOY PICNIC
A move has been initiated for supplying
one of Nocona’s most urgent needs, that of a
ft municipal building, to be used as a City Hall
F public auditorium, fire station, and possibly
j post office. The Nocona Lions Club, com-
posed of the younger and most energetic
citizens of our town, launched the move at
J^their meeting Wednesday.
► The move was endorsed by every mem-
ber of the club, in an individual expression.
Other civic organizations are expected to
i lend a like endorsement of the move. The
Lions unanimously passed the following
E resolution:
Mr. and Mrs. Teague are employed

then to Fort Worth and Dallas for

R. Thig of Tacoma, Washington,
was in Nocona a few days ago and
made inquiries of some of our citi-
zens as to the location of Red
River cemetery, where his father
who died 50 years ago was buried.
Dick Cardwell, an old-timer of
this section, obligingly took Mr.
Thig to the cemetery and helped
him search for his father’s grave,
but the search was in vain. It
could not be found, although money
had been sent for burial expenses
and a monument.
The deceased father, S. H. Thig-
pen, was driving a herd of cattle
over the old Chisholm Trail, and
when at Red River Station became
ill, and stopped at a hotel conduct-
ed by Mrs. Mollie C. Love at that
place. The following letter, writ-
ten 50 years ago, by Mrs. Love to
Mrs. Thigpen, tells of the death of
the latter’s husband:
“Red River Station, Texas.
May 28, 1879.
Mrs. S. H. Thigpen;
I must by the aid of my pen,
communicate to you the distressing
death of your husband. Mr. W. H.
Thigpen is no more. He died yes-
terday evening at 3:00 o’clock and
was buried today at eleven o’clock.
I know this news will be heart
rendering to you but dear lady,
let me beg you to be composed and
do not trouble yourself with the
idea he was not cared for, as I
gave him all the attention I could.
As to his nurse he was as kind to
him as if they were brothers, his
disease was typhoid fever. If I
mistake not he told me the day he
came to my house that he had
been sick fourteen days. He stayed
with us thirteen days which gave
him twenty-seven days of sickness
and pain and the Lord took him
away. Mrs. Thigpen I did not be-
lieve that your husband was going
to die until the morning before
he died. Not withstanding that we
were all uneasy and anxious for
his recovery.
We had the best and most suc-
cessful physician in this county
called to treat his case but his
treatments were to no avail. The
first physician called to treat his
case was Dr. Sutton. Mr. Thigpen
told him he had bilious fever. He
made the third trip to see him
and said he would be better in five
days. Instead of getting better he
grew weaker. The 6th day we
called Dr. Stinson, the above men-
tioned physician who was faithful
to the end. Mr. Thigpen did not
appear to suffer much until about
four hours before nis death. Dur-
ing the four hours of the dreadful
struggle he would groan but slept
all the while only when we would
arouse him by wetting his face
with a wet cloth or giving him a
stimulent. We talked with him
about you all but with little satis-
faction as he could not hear well.
Eight days before he died, Willie
Marer, iiis nurse, and an old gen-
tleman were interrogating him.
Finally they asked your name and
he answered them by saying “what
do you mean asking me such ques-
tions?” They said to him, “We
might want to write to her in re-
gard to your sickness,” and he
said, “I don’t want you to write to
my wife.”
I heard him say the horse be-
longed to one of his hired men.
Willie Marer who waited on him is
taking care of the horse. I will send
you some of your husband’s hair.
He was a beautiful corpse. Mr.
Floyd a merchant here had him
very handsomely dressed. We would
have had an Italie coffin for his
body but the distance to where we
could get one was too far.
I will write again when I hear
from you. Remember you have my
sympathy in the case, my tears for
your bereft condition are not few,
but the Lord knows best. I wish I
could see you and talk with you.
I am such a poor writer it is but
little satisfaction for any one to
read my writing. I am your friend
though a stranger.
Mollie C. Love.

Nocona, Texas, Sept. 10, 1930.
RESOLVED, that the following letter be addressed to
the Mayor and Commissioners as an expression of the
Nocona Lions Club in regard to the erection of a new
City Hall.
To the Honorable Mayor and Commissioners:
It is generally admitted that our present City Hall
is wholly inadequate for the needs of the City. We
^believe the time has come when a Municipal Building
in keeping with the needs of Nocona should be erected.
In view of the fact that there is no auditorium or
place always available for public gatherings, we would
direct your attention to the desirability of providing for
an auditorium in the proposed building.
If in your judgment, you deem it wise to launch the
project at this time, we, the Nocona Lions Club, indivi-
dually and collectively, pledge you our support and
hearty cooperation.
Respectfully yours,
NOCONA LIONS CLUB.
H. A. Neath, President.
Carl Gray, Secretary.
W. J. Stone, our superintendent
of public schools, who is the proud
father of a son, born Saturday, for
some unknown reason changf his
mind as to what name the
youngster is to go by. One of W.
J.’s good friends states that at a
boarding house table several years
ago he was heard to say that if he
ever was the father of a boy, to
help instill those characteristics
which help men to take care of
themselves on all occasions, he was
going to name the little fellow
“Brim,” maY? the full name
Brim-Stone. And for all his friends
know Mr. Stone might have put
up a determined argument for
dubbing his boy “Brim,” but the
boy’s mother no doubt had a say-so,
and he was given the more appro-
zidxate name ot W. J. Jr, .,

Miss Marjorie Maddox who at-
tended camp this summer at Camp
Waldemar, Hunt, Texas, was in
receipt of a letter this week from
Ora Johnson director. This letter
contained congratulations on the
nice record Miss Maddox made and
with it came the awards she won
when in camp. She was winner of
a “letter” and four stripes. It is
necessary to make two teams to
win one stripe which means that
Miss Marjorie made eight teams. Each club lady is invited to come

strations agent’s club day with each
club in October. The day will be
set apart for achievement day. She
will take up 4H pantry work, at the
home of the 4H pantry club dem-
onstrtion of each club. The meet-
ing is to be of great interest as a

The first good rain since June
16 fell here Monday rnd Monday
night, which will be of much hene-
fit to the crops in this section.
Judging from the water caugat in
vessels during the ram, it is esti-
mated that between 3’.4 and 4
inches fell.
On Monday about 12:30 quite a
blustery cloud passed this way with
torrents of rain and gusts of hard
wind. Some damage wax done to
small out-buildings. One 'Ulldlng
in the north part of town, belong-
ing to Henry Bums, which was at
one time used for a blacksmith
shop, was completely wrecked by
the wind.
The heaviest and most prolonged
rain came Monday night. Some
small bridges were reported washed "
out. The whole country was soak-
ed. All tanks were filled to over-
flowing providing ample stock
water for months.
Farmers and stockmen say that
the rain will be of untold benefit
to crops and pastures, and every-
body is happy.
