one niece. Miss Elizabeth Dyer of
Mr. and Mrs. P. K. Trant and their
daughter, Giada Mae Trant, were
called to Keith, Grimes county. this
morning by a message informing them
of the death of Mrs. Trant’s mother,
Mrs. Robert Owen, who passed away
abont 10 o'clock p. m. on Thursday.
Mrs. Owen had been ill for several
weeks. She was about 65 years of
age and is survived by five children:

John White Dyer, aged 61 years,
passed away at a local hospital Thurs-
day afternoon at 4:25 o'clock after
an illness of only a few days. The
news of his death came as a shock to
to his many friends us only a very few
people in the city were aware of his
illness. He bail been at his place of
business this week, and although not
in good health was able to attend to
his daily duties. He went to the ho®
pital Wednesday afternoon for special
treatment for stomach trouble.
versify of Texas. I encouraged Pro-
fessor Blair to publish this study, and
I am informed that he is now plan-
ning to do so. To publish such a work
is expensive, and in order to meet the
expense incident to publication Profes-
sor Blair is asking the citizens of
Grimes County and their descendants
to inform him in advance whether or
not they wish to procnre a copy of
this valuable work when it appears.
Unless he can dispose of at least five
hundred copies .It will lie Impractic-
able for him to carry his project
through.
As a member of the history depart-
ment of the University of Texas, I
wish to commend this excellent piece
of historical investigation, and to urge
that the people of Grimes County give
it their support by subscribing in ad
vance for two or more copies. The <
book will he publishedl, if at all. In a
small edition, and will never be re.
printed, if we may judge by the rec
ord of similar local studies in other
places. Since the book contains the
family record of practically every
early inhabitant of the county, it will
make a valuable additic to every
family library. to the school and pub
lie library. and the copies will become
more xaluable as time goes on. If a
comprehensive history of the state of
Texas is ever written, the author of
it will have to depend largely on such
studies as Professor Blair has made.
Though many county histories have
been written by students at the Uni-
versity of Texas and at other school.-,
this is the first, in my knowledge. to
be published. The patience and the
enormous amount of hard work bn
Mr. Blair's part should be rewarded
by the support of the people who form
the subject and in large measure re-
ceive the benefit of Ms efforts. At
boot he wjh not do more than make a
