newspaper article from 1896 about Sam Houston McGown
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!

Robert Brasuell home and family
This is a picture of my grandmother's family. This picture was taken in the early 1900s in Texas. The man standing is my great grandfather Robert Brasuell. The woman is my grandmother's stepmother Helen Jumper Brasuell. The men on the horses are my grandmother's brothers: Alfred and Homer Brasuell. The girls standing are Minnie and Hattie Jumper, and my grandmother, Nancy Elizabeth Brasuell. The baby in the chair is Alice Brasuell.
Mary Ellen Dunnigan
This is my great grandmother, Mary Ellen Dunnigan.
She was born in February of 1860 in Missouri and died February 14, 1905 in Roxton, Texas.
She married Robert Brasuell about 1894.
My grandmother always told us her mother had died giving birth. Last summer, when my sisters and I went to Paris, Texas, we found our great grandmother's death certificate. She did die from childbirth. We also found the death certificate of the baby girl who died about 20 days later. The coroner reported on the death certificate that he never actually saw the baby, only heard that it had died. The baby never saw a doctor.

John C. Neal and Nancy E. Brasuell
These are my grandparents: John Cecil Neal and Nancy Elisabeth Brasuell.
John C. Neal was born April 21, 1891 in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and died April 5, 1965 in Austin, Texas. I never met him. He died before I was born. But from what I've been told, he was not held in high regard by those who knew him best.
Nancy Brasuell Neal was born September 28, 1896 in Fort Smith, Arkansas and died June 14, 1990, in Lukfin, Texas. I only remember her being old and feeble. I visited her about once a year - always at a nursing home. But my older sisters have wonderful memories of her.
This picture was taken about the time they were married, January 28, 1912 in Brookston, Texas. Last summer, my sisters and I went to Paris, Texas and found my grandparents original marriage license - the copy they could have picked up at the courthouse after they were married, but never did. My grandparents divorced, later remarried, and then divorced again.
