Jim Sawyer
Jim Sawyer, proprietor of Sawyer'92s Saloon on Live Oak street, died at his place of business about 8:30 Tuesday night. There were present G. G. Gordon, J. W. Lynch, and one or two others. They say he began complaining some while sitting in a chair in the front of the saloon. He appeared to be suffering from extreme heat and he was moved to the yard in rear of the saloon and efforts made to relive him from the heat period. With a few groans and gasps he passed away while lying on a cot before physicians were summoned. Deceased was 55 years of age and had been in Marlin about six years. The remains were viewed by Justice Dashill who pronounced his death due to natural causes. The remains will be interned a McGregor where he formally resided and where his mother is buried. He has a sister in the territory and niece, Mrs. Murry in Waco. These are the only relatives known up here.
