 Dallas Morning News July 27, 1893 "Gainesville Gleanings" Shown the Grave of His Last Brother Gainesville, Tex., July 26 - Eight years ago in Grayson County, Mr. and Mrs. Barlett died, leaving three children, the youngest a boy 9 years old. The family was poor and had no relatives in Texas and the children were forced to look for homes as best they could. The young boy came to Gainesville sick, was sent to the poor farm and died. Nothing was ever heard of his people until a day or two ago, when a young man appeared in County Judge Hayworth's office and inquired for his lost brother. He gave the name and description of the boy and was shown the little fellow's grave. He found his sister, whom he had not seen in eight years, a few days before near Whitesboro.
