Expires of Heart Failure on Sunday Night at His Home Near Beeville. He Had Been Living the Life of a Hermit
-----
Beeville, Tex., April 10 - Col. J. H. Lippard, who, if not a national figure, was at least one of the most noted characters in the history of Texas during the fifteen or twenty years that worked the rapid development of the State after the close of the civil war, died at his home eight miles north of this city Sunday night about 9 o'clock of heart failure. He was just in the act of retiring for the night when he suddenly became faint and called to a hired man he had with him for assistance. The man ran to him in time to keep him from falling, and eased him don in a chair where he expired in a few seconds..." (the article continues in length and is difficult to read)

"Colonel J. H. Lifford
(Special to the Picayune)
San Antonio, Tex., April 10 - A dispatch to the Express announces the death of Colonel J. H. Lifford, one of the most noted characters in Texas, at his home near Beeville, aged over 80 years. Colonel Lifford was a native of Illinois, and a personal friend of Abraham Lincoln. He served through the civil war with the union forces, and came to Texas at its close. He brought colonists from Illinois, Indiana and Ohio to his adopted state, and was probably the greatest colonizer Texas ever had. For years he had been living the life of a hermit on a little far, which he personally cultivated."
