Notes for William Richard Hines: According to a newspaper release given to me by Myrna Dixon-St. George, W.R. Hines lived in Hemphill county Texas since 1907. He had suffered with a heart ailment for the past few years and had had several heart attacks. On Oct. 9, 1955 he died of a heart attack. Relatives in Shawnee, Oklahoma planned to drive to Canadian the next day. They called W.R.'s brother, Oscar, and told him they would be by to pick him up in about fifteen minutes. When they arrived at Oscar's house, they found him dead of a heart attack also. Heart attacks had taken both brothers in less than twenty-four hours.
