A some time ago a relative of ours, who lived in St. Louis and was aprominent man and cashie r of a large bank, arrived in Lafayette andsought out the writer. He asked that we go with hi m to Carthage and lookthrough the old records to learn, if we could, whose son hisgreat-great -grand father, Laban Gregory, was. Cal frankly confessed thathe did not know. So we went ove r to Carthage and began to prowl throughthe old court records. In a matter of perhaps 15 minu tes, we found thisitem: "Laban Gregory appeared before the Court and stated that NancyWilmor e had given birth to an illegitimate daughter, who had been namedEliza Wilmore, that he belie ved the child to be his, that he wished tomake her/his heir that her name be changed to Eliz a Gregory." The writerhanded ever the old record book to his St. Louis relative and noted the reaction. `Whew! the old man had been stepping out. My sister, who isvery conventional, wil l disown the old man when she learns of this." Weinformed him that he was not as bad as he co uld have been, giving as ourreasons that he sought to undo as far as he could, the wrong he h adcommitted, and seemed to have repented of his error. Our banker frienddid not disown his an cestor, but sought to find out who Eliza Wilmorewas, but was unable to learn any additional f acts. Later `investigationrevealed that Laban Gregory was the son of old Bry Gregory , the wr iter'sgreat-great grandfather. So there is no need for any family to feel thatit is so far ab ove the "common herd" that there could not' have been `a"black sheep" in the family, or a "de ad limb" on the family tree.

tree.
Cal's Column: "...in 1814. This cave had then and perhaps still does have a supply of saltpeter. The Second War with Great Britain was then in progress and gun powder was extremely scarce in the western settlements. Some of the men of the community decided to take out quantities of the saltpeter and to make their own gun powder. Among those helping in this undertaking was Ansil, a 16-year-old son of our great-great-grandfather, Bry Gregory. In cutting down a large tree near the entrance to this cave, to get wood for boiling down the saltpeter, the youth was crushed to death by the falling tree. His father, who lived not a great way off, took his mule and sled, or as it was then called, a "slide," and went to bring the body home. As he lifted his own, dead son, a youth of only 16 tender years, onto the sled, the old man said: "Now’d --n you, I guess you won’t run away any more." "

Individuals : Jamison David K.
DR. DAVID K. JAMISON, • since he entered actively
into his chosen field of work, has made appreciable
advance and is counted properly among the coming
young physicians of the county. He has been located in
Denison,TEXAS since 1912, and is already securely established
in his profession here. He is a native son of the state,
born at Whitesboro, TEXAS on September 28, 1886, and is a son
of F. G. Jamison and Amanda C. (Quillen) Jamison.
The father was born in Mississippi and the mother is a
Texas born woman.
In 1873, F. G. Jamison came to Texas and located in
Whitesboro, where he was long engaged in the merchandise
business, or for about twenty-five years, and he
was reckoned among the successful and prosperous men
of the town. He was a Confederate veteran, having
served with Forrest's cavalry, being on the skirmishing
line through practically all his service, which extended
over the last two years of the war. He is still living at
Whitesboro, though he has retired from the mercantile
business, and is now president of the City Bank of that
place. The mother, too, still lives and enjoys comparative
health and strength. They were the parents of four
children, and of that little family, Dr. Jamison is the
youngest but one.
David K. Jamison had his early education in the public
schools of Whitesboro, TEXAS and after finishing the high school
he entered the Carlisle Military Academy at Arlington,
Texas, and was there graduated in 1905. The following
year he entered the University of Texas, and four years
later he was graduated from the medical department with
the degree of M. D. For a year thereafter Dr. Jamison
served as house surgeon at the St. Mary's Infirmary,
going from there to Las Esperano, Coahuila, Mexico,
where he remained in practice until 1912, when he returned
to his native state and coming to Denison, settled
here in medical practice. In Mexico, in addition to
his private practice, Dr. Jamison was local surgeon for
the National Railways of Mexico for about a year, and
he has been division surgeon here for the M. K. & T.
Railroad since he located here.
Dr. Jamison is a Democrat, and in his fraternal affiliations
is identified with the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks. He is an active member of the local
Chamber of Commerce, and has membership in the
Waples Memorial Methodist Episcopal church, South, of
this city.
On September 1, 1912, Dr. Jamison was married in
Sherman, Texas, to Miss Bessie Bond, a daughter of W. H.
and Rebecca Bond. Mr. Bond, who was for a number
of years the traveling representative of a southern grocery
house, died in 1912, while the mother still lives in
Sherman Texas.
