  • Obituary*: "Earl Fortson Is Found Dead At Arlington
       "Earl A. [sic] Fortson, Jr., 18, Arlington State freshman, was found dead in his apartment at Arlington early Sunday night.
       "Funeral services will be held from the Corley Chapel Tuesday at 2 p.m. with burial in Oakwood cemetery. The rites will be conducted by Rev. Reginal King, pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist church, and Rev. Sam Welsh, Baptist minister.
       "Justice of the Peace Kathleen Hall said Fortson apparently died of gas asphyxiation, according to The Associated Press. The news service added that Judge Hall withheld an inquest verdict.
       "Fortson is reported to have shared an apartment with other students and one of his roommates, Larry Lulsch, is said to have discovered the body.
       "The student was born in Corsicana, October 31, 1941, and is a graduate of Corsicana High School.
       "Surviving are the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl A. [sic] Fortson, 2002 West First avenue, Corsicana; grandparents, Mrs. Addie M. Fortson, Palestine, and Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Leish, Ennis, and other relatives."10
  • Note*: He was a 1959 graduate of Corsicana High School, Corsicana, Texas, and was a student at Arlington State College (now the University of Texas at Arlington) when he died.10

Benjamin Franklin Lisman's joint tombstone, Old Cemetery, Chatfield, Tex., courtesy of "timcdfw" on Find A Grave.
  • Obituary*: "VENERABLE CITIZEN DIES.
       "A Resident Here for Many Years and Former County Official.
       "Capt. B. F. Lisman, a native of Kentucky, but a resident of this county for more than half a century, died at the home of his son-in-law, J. H. Clayton, 1516 West Fifth avenue, this morning at 2:30 at the advanced age of 87 years, 4 months and 8 days. The funeral services will be held at the home tomorrow morning at 8 o’clock, conducted by Rev. Abe Mulkey, after which the body will be taken to Chatfield where interment will take place under the direction of the Masons, of which fraternity the deceased had been for many years an honored member.
       "The deceased was at one time the tax assessor of Navarro county, was a Confederate veteran, and a man who was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him.
       "Surviving is one daughter, Mrs. J. H. Clayton, five grandchildren and six great grandchildren."12
  • Scrapbook*: • "B. F. LISMAN
       "Another of our pioneer citizens was the Lisman family. B. F. Lisman and family moved to Navarro County around 1855. They decided to settle near Chatfield, a small village in the north eastern part of Navarro County. Mr. Lisman was a blacksmith by trade and had the reputation of being one of the best in the state in making knives, scissors, swords, etc. Mr. Lisman's reputation was so great that he was excused from service in the army during the years of the Civil War so he could make swords and sabers, badly needed by the soldiers leaving Navarro County. Mrs. Joe Clayton of Corsicana, a daughter of the Lismans, had a letter in her possession from the quartermaster saying the Lisman saber was the best they had ever seen. One of the Lisman sabers was made especially for Captain marion Martin of Wadesville, Texas, a few miles south of Chatfield. martin was a captain of the Bass Regiment of Texas. This saber was in the possession of his son, Marion Martin, Jr., Mr. Lisman took silver dollars, melted them and moulded them into the saber handle. He also used some of the silver to decorate the leather scabbard. Beside being a blacksmith, Lisman was the postmaster during the Civil War. After the war was over, Chatfield was called Mesquite by the Federal troops, but when the troops moved away in 1871 the citizens changed the name back to Chatfield, which is what it has been called to the present day."
    • “Missers. [sic] Lissman [sic] and Henry have one of the best regulated smith shops in north Texas, with facilities for manufacturing a steam engine down to the needle of a sewing machine, and Esquire B. F. Lissman, being and acting Justice of the Peace and Notary Public is enabled to give all his customers a few horse shoes or a little law; and as we understand he has lately formed a law partnership, and being a Notary Public, duly commissioned and qualified, his friends have only to give notice, and they will be instantly attended to, as well as relieved."13,14
  • Note*: • In the 1880 U.S. census his occupation was given as blacksmith.
    • He was tax assessor of Navarro County, Texas and was "a man who was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him." He was survived by his wife, five grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
    • It is unclear whether he served in the Confederate Army in the Civil War. A Navarro County history says he was excused from service in the war so he could make swords and other implements for the army. To the contrary, his obituary in the Corsicana Daily Sun says he was a Confederate veteran.15,16,17,18
