Dear Brother, Sister & Family,
I will answer your sweet and highly appreciated letter which I
received Saturday.
Oh, Sinda, our dear Papa is dead. He died April 28. He died
at Burnet. Mama hired a hack and driver
and brought him home the day he died.
Lizzie, Asbury, Ada and Ona was up there with Mama when he died. We had been over at Mama's Saturday night
and Sunday and had just got home when George Fielder [(F3/1.2)] came and told
us the sad news.
We went back over there that night. We got there at 11 o'clock.
Oh, it didn't seem like home. It
was the saddest place I ever saw.
Sinda, there was a big crowd at the burying, and all taken it
awful hard. They buried him at Chalk
Ridge right close to Mothers [grandmother, Amanda M. Fish Whitmire (F5/1.3)]
grave. We have given up our Grandma and
lots of friends, but Sinda, nothing seems so hard as giving up Papa. Just seemed like I couldn't stand it. But we have all got to die, and I know Papa
was prepared to die, and all we can do now is to prepare to meet him for we
will never see him again in this troublesome world.
Sinda, he did look so sweet and innocent. They got the nicest coffin and clothes, a
nice white shirt and black tie, and the sweetest black suit. The coffin and the clothes cost $40.
The next day after Papa was buried John Bowlin's baby got rattle
snake bit and lived about four hours.
It was buried that night at the same grave yard where Papa was
buried. I haven't saw John and Ida
since the baby died, but I heard they taken it awful hard.
Sinda, I was right sick last night. I taken a running off and throwing up. I think it was the flux.
The people around here has been having them. I don't hardly feel like sitting up this morning. Mr. and Mrs. Green is still at Burnet under
treatment of Dr. Cheatham. Nora Lord
and children are here. They come a
Saturday.
Yes, Sinda, the old lady Smart [Amy Cox Smart (C4/2.1)] told me
they was kinfolks to Jim. I liked her
and the girls right well. George is
fixing to go to town. I will have to
close as I don't feel like writing. I
will try to do better next time. Hoping
this will find you all well. I close,
as ever your sister.

Mary Rosella McCall (M3/3.5), daughter of Oliver Hazard Perry
McCall (M4/1.3) and Nancy Almeda Whitmire McCall (M4/7.7), was born March 3,
1884 in Williamson County. She was married March 13, 1901 to Francis Marion
"Buddy" Mullen (M3/1.8) who was born January 8, 1875 in Williamson

He was the eighth child of Col. John Welsh Mullen (M4/1.1) who

John Hamilton (H5/1.1) and his wife Anne.
He was a member of the ill-fated Mier Expedition to Mexico in
1842, according to a daughter, Arena Mullen Cobb (M3/1.11). In the expedition a force of 300 men under
Col. W. S. Fisher crossed the Rio Grande and attacked Mier, a strategic Mexican
garrison. After an 18-hour battle the
Americans were defeated and captured December 26, 1842. They were started as prisoners in chains
toward Mexico City March 1, 1843. En route, at Salado, they escaped, were
recaptured and every tenth man executed as the result of the drawing of the
infamous black beans. The others were
marched to Mexico City, arriving there May 27, and were imprisoned in the
Castle of San Carlos de Perote. Many
died in the crowded prison. The
survivors, including "Big Foot" Wallace, were released September 16,
1844 and given one peso each to cover their expenses home. They arrived in New Orleans aboard a ship
and transferred to the "New York" bound for Galveston, Texas. Once back they were eager to join the U.S.
Army when the Mexican War broke out.
Monument Hill State Park, located near LaGrange, Texas, was
dedicated to the men who died in the expedition. The bodies of 35 men who were killed in the expedition and of 17

family, settling at Webberville in Travis County in the latter part of 1849 and

Mary Hamilton Mullen (H4/1.1) sold a one-fifth share of inherited Hamilton land
to William Hamilton (H4/1.2), presumably her brother, according to Williamson
County Deed Book 3, page 19.
