Found this newspaper article from 1896 about Sam Houston McGown from Hemphill, Texas giving details about the accident that caused his death. S. H. McGown is not a direct ancestor, but my fathers 1st cousin 2x removed. http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn86090270/1896-07-23/ed-1/seq-2/
I am excited about more and more digital newspaper archives becoming available. What a great source of information!
What page is the Sam Houston McGown reference on,please? Having trouble finding it. Thanks, Lisa Duperier, (mother Dicy McGown, daughter of Houston Everett McGown, son of Sam Houston McGown.
