J.C. LOONEY
J.C. Looney was born in Grayson County, Texas, nearly 44 years ago, where he spent his boyhood days. A larger portion of his life however was spent in the Indian Territory, where he served as deputy U.S. Marshall for a number of years.
He, like the rest of the human family, was not perfect, yet he had redeeming features in his character; he was kind hearted and liberal so far as his means would permit. He would divide his last dollar with a friend and protected his at the peril of his own life.
Last Tuesday night Jan. 9, while assisting Mr. Mook in an official way, he took a hard chill and a severe pain in the back, which was afterward pronounced spinal meningitis by the physicians who attended the case, to-wit: Drs. G.J. Wilson, A.P. Brown and R. Dunn of Davis, and Dr. Slover of Sulphur, who did all they could relieve him, but to no avail. The end came on Sunday morning at 1 o'clock.
Jim leaves a wife and six children, also a mother, several brothers and a number of relatives and friends to mourn his death. In his last moments he said to his brother that all was well with him and he wanted his loved ones to meet him where partings will never come.
Brothers:
G.T. (Rome) Looney (1875 - 1929)
