Hello, My name is Angie and I am searching for more information on the
Cantrell family whom lived in both Clay and Montague Counties. I am trying to
figure out if I have head of this family correct first of all. In only
ONE census can I find him as Osias D. Cantrell. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Angela

BELLEVUE GIRL ENDS OWN LIFE - CAUSE IS UNKNOWN
Bellevue, Tex., July 19 -- On returning to their home, eight miles west of
here, Friday evening, the parents of Effie Cantrell, 18 years old,
found her lifeless body in the house. An empty target rifles lay beside
her, while a wound in her breast near the heart indicated that death had
been almost instantaneous.
The Cantrell family had attended a picnic near their home, leaving the
grounds about 5:30 o'clock. The young woman had preceded them probably
half an hour. On leaving the picnic she appeared to be in the best of
spirits and did not intimate to her close friends that she was tired of life.
She was very popular with the young people of the neighborhood, who are
unable to account for the finding of her dead body.
At the picnic she joined in all of the amusements and led her companions
in making it a success. So far as is known she had no love affair which
might have
been responsible for her desirings to end her life.
The news of the sudden death of Miss Cantrell so soon after leaving her at
the picnic has caused the postponement of several social affairs to be
held in
the neighborhood in the next few days.
The parents of Miss Cantrell are grief stricken as a result of her death
and the strange manner in which she ended her life is the topic of
conversation
among her friends.
The funeral was held Saturday afternoon from the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, Rev. W.J. Walker officiating.
