OBITS

Rains County Leader
Oct 30, 1908
P.P. Rains Dead
Uncle Press Rains of Point, a life-long resident of Rains county, died at a hospital in Dallas last Sunday morning from injuried received in falling from a trestle Thursday before. He had been visiting the Fair for several days and had been robbed of all the money he had just a day or two before he was hurt. It is not known how the accident occurred, but we learn the police are making an investigation. His remains were taken in charge by an undertaker and shipped by Mineola to Point Tuesday morning and interred in the Coats' graveyard near Center Point Tuesday evening, in the presence of a large crowd of relatives and friends. He was a son of Emory Rains, an alcalde under the Mexican rule, and father of the homestead law of Texas, and for whom Rains county and the town of Emory were names. Uncle Press Rains was the first Sheriff of Rains county by appointment when the county was organized, and was afterwards elected to the office. He was an ex-Confederate soldier and in pioneer days fought the Indians back from the borders of civilization. The deceased leaves two sisters, Mrs. T.A. Williams and Mrs. Maraney Williams of Point, and one son in Oklahoma and one in this county, besides a great number of other relatives to mourn his loss. WIth him one of the oldest landmarks of the State has passed away from our view.
