whites during the great indianola storm of september 16th 1875 he went from refugio to st mary s through wind and rain to unite in marriage sid howard and his wife they did not expect him under such

the republic of texas the undersigned your petitioner respectfully represents to you that he is now a very old man and is in indigent circumstances that he had sons the hope and support of his declining years youths aged 18 and 20 that the country called for the services of these in the field and they answered the call they were of the garrison of goliad the history and fate of that garrison is well known o you his sons returned no more to him the humble dwelling which was once cheered by their presence is now occupied by their mother and father only they are alone there is no longer the voice of a child heard to remind them of their happy days the blood of their sons has been unlawfully shed and it remains unavenged he at whose doing command they were put to death still lives in the old jewish law we read thus numbers chapter 35 verses 31 32 33 moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer which is guilty of death but that he shall be surely put to death and ye shall take on satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of refuge that he should come again to dwell in the land until death of the priest so ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are for blood it defileth the land and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein but by the blood of his that shed it but if this law be no longer in force it may at least support the law which has been established by the usages of all civilized nations in the wars of modern times that articles of capitulation containing a stipulation of the preservation of lives should we hold saved he by whose order they should be violated is worthy of death but you petitioner is not vindictive and would take no pleasure in any act of retributive justice which would not be supported by the laws of god and man the years of your petitioner are drawing towards a close a savage enemy has deprived him of those whom he looked for support in his second childhood and therefore he prays that the country in whose cause his sons have laid down their lives will bestow upon him such pecuniary apistances of land as will be sufficient to secure the humble comforts for which only he hopes during the short remainder of his days and your petitioner as in duty bound will every pray ye lower caney texas september 28 1836 asa yeamans this loyal citizen died in october 1841 at caney
