    Earl M. Richardson died 14 June 1901 (George Shields Funeral Home Records) Age 23 Col. L Texas Cavalry Spanish-American War The Sunday Gazetteer Sunday, June 23, 1901 pg. 4 LOCAL CONDENSATIONS Tuesday, June 18 - Early Richardson, a young farmer west of Denison, was found dead a few days ago. The case is a suspicious one as a bottle of Rough on Rats was found in the room and exhibited in the Gazetteer office by Dr. Baker. It is one of those peculiar cases that will excite comment. Whether the young man committed suicide will never be known. Richardson's face was covered with Bible, we are told but don't know it to be a fact, and that the book was opened at the passage in which occurs the expression, "Oh, death! Where is thy sting, oh, grave, where is thy victory?" The face of the young man was discolored and spotted. The question is did Richardson commit suicide, did Brock commit suicide?
