Alex Tribune, Alex, Grady Co., OK, Friday, Oct. 9, 1908: "Sad Tragedy at Roaring Creek - The Roaring Creek neighborhood was the scene of a sad tragedy last Friday morning about 2 o'clock. Tom Pound and Lon O'Niel had been drinking during the night and finally got into an argument over some hogs. Tom, who thought he had been insulted, went tohis home, secured his gun and returned to O'Niel's. Mrs. Pound accompanied her husband and shortly after they had entered the O'Niel house the latter, who was outside and badly frightened, blazed away with a shotgun at Pound through the window, killing him almost instantly. Mr. O'Niel promptly gave himself up to the officers and demanded an imme4diate hearing, which was given him. He was released on $600 bond to await the action of the grand jury." AND Then......the OBIT: "Laid at Rest at Rush Springs - The funeral of Mr. Pound was held from the family home on Saturday afternoon, and was largely attended. Masonic Lodge No. 7, of Rush Springs, had charge of the services, and Rev. Jones of Rush Springs preached the funeral sermon. Interment in the Rush Springs cemetery. Mr. Pound was 32 years of age and is survived by a wife and three children. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Pound, and four sisters, Misses Florence, Lizzie, Nina and Madge, of Kiowa, were here to attend the funeral. Among others present from out of town were Bud and Oscar Colbert of Kiowa and Taylor Pound of Wapanucka, uncle of the deceased. The family have the heartfelt sympathy of a host of friends in their sudden sad bereavement."
