NOTE: CHANGED BIRTH DAY TO THE 29TH. IT WAS ORIGINALLY 25TH. HARD TO TELL BUT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT IS A 5, AND OTHER RECORDS SHOW IT IS THE 25TH.

UNVERIFIED INFO: HE WAS KILLED BY A RUNAWAY HORSE IN ANGLETON, TX WHILE VISITING. I AM INCLUDING THIS INFO, SINCE IT APPEARS TO BE FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE BUT NOT VERIFIED BY ANY DOCUMENT THAT I CAN FIND SO I WON'T ADD IT TO THE TOP PORTION BUT WILL INCLUDE IT TO BE CHECKED OUT.
