times and was the father of 15 tons
and nine daughters, 13 of whom sur
vive. His life history is like a ro
mance, and a more extended account
of it will be given later in this pa
per. The remains were-shipped from
Dallas Tuesday evening and are ex

day evening. If they do. the funeral
will be held Thursday afternoon at
2 o'clock from the Christian church.
Michel Stubblefield went to La
