E(,Y, 1st Vice Pres.
Monday evening, by the shock-
ing news that Mr. John H.
Blackmon had been drowned in
Holder Lake, about seven miles
south-east of Fairfield. In
few moments everything was in
commotion, and many friends
and relatives of the unfortunate
young man were soon on horse-
back or In vehicles hurrying to
the lake as fast as possible, two
physicians also accompanying
The particulars of the acci-
dent, briefly stated, are about
as follows: .The deceased, in
company with Mr.-Murray
and Mr * Joe Roller left town
about 1 o’clock to fish that eve-
ning at the lake. It seems that
Messrs. Murray and Roller were
at the npper end of the lake ad-
my recent sad bereavement; and I justing a seine in the water,
and the deceased had mounted
his horse and ridden it into the
lower part of the lake, apparent-
ly .lo swim it across. Sudden-
ly it seems, he was thrown off,
and was seen to be straggling
in the water. Mr. Roller ran to
his assistance, and swam to him
after he had sunk twice. The
drowning man caught him
around the neck, and pulled
him under the water, and Mr.
Roller was obliged to release
himself and swim out.
^Before the rescuing party
from town reached the lake
other persons, white and color-
ed living near got there and
numerous attempts had been
made by diving to find the
body, but all such efforts were
nnsucessfnl. Finally a rope
Was stretched across the water
and using it for a guide the bot-
tom of the lake was dragged
with hooks, and the body re-
covered. Although it had been
in the water abont three hours
the doctors worked a long while
trying to resuscitate it, but it
was impossible to do so.
The deceased was a well
known young man in our town
and county, having been born
and reared in Freestone. He
was abont 24 years old, the eld-
est son of Mr. T. G. Blackmon,
onr County Surveyor. He was a
practical surveyor himself, and
assisted his father in much of
his work. He was married
about two years ago to Miss
Kate Robinson, daughter of Mr.
J. P. Robinson, of Fairfield.
The news of the untimely
death of our young townsman
was a painful shock to our en-
tire coihmunity, and deepest
sympathy with his family and

h* bed Just
tered the morning of manhood,
buoyed by the hopes and prom-
ises that come to all young
men that have an aim in life.
His tragic death was truly
unfortunate, and has cast a
deep shadow over many loving
hearts, utterly unprepared for
the sndden and unexpected
change.
The remains of the deceased
were interred last Tuesday eve-
ning in the JFairfield cemetery,
Rev. J. W. Holt officiating, as-
sisted by Rev. J. M. Martin.
It was a peculiarly sad burial
scene. The unexpectedness of
the sad occurrence, the young
age of the deceased, the sudden
severance of domestic ties, the
blighting of fond hopes—all
these cast a shadow of sorrow
, Death uf Mr. J. D. Illankmahlp.
On last Saturday evening, April
28, 1900;at the revidence of Mr.
8am Lamb, J. D. Blankenship, an
old and very respected citizen r f
Freestone county after a continued
tilness of alx raoutba, quietly pass
ed into tbe beyood forever to abide
with Him, who Buffered crooifix-
ion, bled and died that we might
live.
Mr. Blaukenahip was born in
Alabama in tbe year 1852, and
came to Texas while still an infant
He^ooved to Oade in 1669 where
be lived till foar weeks before his
death when he vh taken to Wor-
tham to the home of his father-in-
law, Mr. Sam Lamb. He was
married in December, 1876, to
Miaa Bettie Lamb of Cade, who
preoeded bim to tbe grave some
four years. They bad only one
child, H. A, who is just entering
manhood and who matt oomplete
life's journey without tbe comfort-
ing love of either father or mother.
Mr. Blaukenahip was a gener-
ous member of the Masonic lodge
Wbicb order buried bim Sunday
in tbe Cade cemetery. He waa
also A member of tbe K. of H.
He waa a communicant of the
Missionary Baptiat church and
lived accordingly.
He had many friends who are
in Sympathy with tbe bereaved,
especially with hit bod and only
brother, A. J. Blankenship.—Wor-
tham Journal.
The Becobdeb ia sorry to note
tbe death of Mr. Blankenship, who
was one of Freestone’s best citi-
zens. Tbe writer knew him long
end well end can beer willing tes-
timony to bis sterling qualifies of
head and heart that made bim a
good neighbor and friend and a
public-spirited representative citi-
zen. He bad an extended ac-
quaintance over tbe county and
was nearly always a familiar per-
sonage at district courts as a grand
or petit juror. As a public man he
waa a staunch Democrat and took
deep interest in political matters
as they affected tbe general welfare
of the county. Consequently,
he was a delegate at every county
convention, and was frequently
sent to State and district con-
ventions. * He was a man who read
a great deal and kept well post-
ed in passing events, and in mat-
tirs of legislation was on the side
of tbe people. He was mentioned
last year as a candidate Tor Repre3
tentative, and bad not his health
commenced to give way, he would
no doubt have been before the peo-
ple this year. Tbe news of his
death will cause regret to many in
all parts of tbe rouuty who were
personally acquainted with him
As a good representative citizen,
and an exemplary Christian
man whose influence and efforts
were always for good, his death is
a loss to his county, as well as to
bis family aDd friends. The sin-
cere sympathy of many will go
