Two Rivers "Sandbar Histories"
The following is an excerpt from A "GHASTLY FIND" ... 1898 Written by BETTY DUNN "A 'Ghastly Find' was the headline on the front page of the Navasota Daily Examiner on Thursday, September 29, 1898. The lead paragraph read 'Early this morning a colored woman ... discovered a metallic casket in the lane just south of W. T. Woodwards place, in the eastern part of Navasota. The matter created a quiver of excitement, bordering on consternation, in that neighborhood.' The news story continued that 'Mayor Yarborough' was notified and he ordered the casket removed to the city cemetery and the job was given to Undertaker Lindley." ___________________________________________________ To read this entire article and more from "Two Rivers Sandbar Histories" you can order the book.
