Misc. Notes
He had a remarkable library. Never married. The Wilcoxson book said that he died in 1906 but the tombstone was different.He was probate judge and lawyer in Linn Co Missouri but died while he was a prosecuting attorney in the Oklahoma Territory. It is said that he accidentally found that he was blind in one eye. He did not know when it happened. When he died his sister burned all his fine clothes. It horrified relatives as some were so poor they could not buy clothes. ( by Ruth Davis)
