Cameron Herald, Thur., 22 Oct 1914
Death - Mrs. J. D. Diver died on Wednesday of last week at the Diver Farm near Rockdale.
The aged couple were born in Cambridgeshire, England and were married for 50-years.
Three of their eight children [no names given] were born in England and sailed with them;
and the fourth child was born while the ship they were on was crossing the Gulf of Mexico.
It was a custom in those days for the captain of a ship in which a child was born to give to
the parents a present of one pound (about $5). On this trip, nine other children were born
and received the gift. Rockdale Reporter [lengthy article]
