Here's some newspaper tidbits:
Since some are looking for Fowler's:
7/15/1899 Bastrop newspaper:
On Thursday Hon. and Mrs. J. P. Fowler received a telegram from their son, Attorney Maynard Fowler, at Goliad, conveying the sad intelligence of the death of their little child, aged about 10 months. The many Bastrop friends of the grief-stricken parents tender Maynard and wife deep-felt sympath in their great distress. "Suffer little children to come unto Me," sayeth the Lord.
Also:
SHOOTING ON PINEY CREEK
On Sunday a shooting occurred on PINEY CREEK, between Cedar and Walnut CREEK, south-west of Bastrop, with the two Hemphill Brothers on one side, Charley Lee and Carl Eastland on the other. There are conflicting reports as to the origin of the shooting. It seems, from what we can gather, all four emptied their pistols. Charley Lee being the only one hit, he was shot in the leg; breaking the bone, the same shot killing his horse, which ran a few hundred yards after receiving the fatal shot and fell. Examination was waived and all parties placed under bond.
(Don't know what Hemphill Brothers this article is talking about. There are two Hemphill families in the area probably related way back as they both use the name Zeno in their lines)
