versity of Nashville he received the degree
of M. D. from the medical department In

tied In Matagorda county where for many
years he was one of the most prominent and
successful practitioners of Southern Texas.
He also engaged largely in cotton plant-
ing In the famous Caney cotton lands of
Matagorda county. For several years he-
served as county Judge of Matagorda county.
On account of his sterling Integrity and
fine business talent he was twice elected to
the Texas legislature and while a member
of that august assembly wrote and framed
the bill upon which the present quarantine
laws of Texan are based an honor of which
lie was Justly proud.
He was a loyal and consistent member of
the Masonic order and one of the oldest

came a resident of that place.

right principles and a genial affectionate
nature won him many friends who will
sorrow to know that he has passed away.
