The many friends of Don TEAS were grieved to learn of his death, which occurred 
Tuesday morning at 8'oclock at his home in Pearsall, after an indisposition extending 
over many months and culminating in the lagrippe, a relapse and his death. The 
remains were brought to Beeville Wednesday and the funeral services conducted 
by the Masonic fraternity from the SAP depot, a large concourse following the remains 
to their last resting place in the old cemetery,(Evergreen), proving the high esteem in 
which he was held by the citizens among whom he made his home for years.

where the Comerical National bank is now located and continued in business for fifteen 
years or longer. 

More than eight years ago he moved from Beeville to Stockdale and then to Carizzo Springs 
where he resided until two years ago, moving then to Pearsall where at the time of his death
