• Notes

  Obituary: NORTH ZULCH YOUTH DIES HERE SUNDAY ELVA COLDIRON IS SHOT SATURDAY NIGHT WHILE ON HIGHWAY Elva Coldiron of North Zulch, Madison county, who was shot Saturday night near his home, was hurried to a hospital in Bryan for treatment early Sunday morning, accompanied by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Coldiron and other relatives. The injuries, however, were of such a serious nature that the young man died about noon Sunday and the body was taken overland by auto truck to North Zulch by the McCulloch-Dansby funeral directors. The deceased was 17 years of age, and was shot from his horse while on the roadway. Reports have reached Bryan that young Houston Neeley of Iola, has been arrested for the shooting, and placed in the Madison County jail at Madisonville. The cause of the trouble could not be ascertained at the time of going to press. The funeral of Elva Coldiron was held Monday morning at 10 o'clock from the home of his parents at North Zulch with interment made in Madison county at the Rock Prairie cemetery. Deceased is survived by his parents Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Coldiron, three brothers and four sisters: Frank, Wilbry and Bert Coldiron, Mrs. L. Lever, Miss Fay and Miss Dorothy Coldiron all of North Zulch. (Published in The Bryan Weekly Eagle on March 8, 1928) Obituary: Elmer Coldiron Killed Elmer Coldiron was shot on Willowhole Prairie Saturday night about ten o'clock and died in the Bryan Sanitarium Sunday. Charges of murder has been filed against Houston Neeley by Sheriff Gibson and he gave bond to the amount of $5,000.00 to await examining trial which will be held on Saturday of this week before Judge Joe Whitley at North Zulch. The trouble started when Neeley's car ran off into some deep ruts, according to a statement made to Sheriff Gibson, and young Coldiron and some other boys came along and offered to help him out. The failed, however, in their efforts to get the car off a high center in the road, and the trouble started, perhaps, about that. Young Coldiron was about seventeen years old and the son of Mr. Claud Coldiron. Neeley is said to be about thirty or thirty-five years old. (Published in The Madisonville Meteor on March 8, 1928)
