Biography

The San Angelo Standard newspaper related the death of John Dawson:

"Found Dead--The body of "Uncle John" Dawson, the father of Tol Dawson, one of our well-to-do sheep-men, was found under a clump of bushes near the river bed...on Wednesday morning. From the position in which the body was found, it is supposed that he laid down to sleep and died from old age, being nearly 80 years old. The verdict of the jury summoned to inquire into the cause of his death is as follows: We, the undersigned jury of inquest, impaneled this 27th day of August 1884, to inquire into the cause and manner of the death of JOHN DAWSON, after being duly sworn, and after viewing the remains of said DAWSON, do find that deceased came to his death on or about the 25th day of August 1884, from old age and general debility. [signed J. D. Spears, D. D. Wilson, C. E. DuBois, J. L. McDowell, Isaac Friedrich, Cassius Carter.] The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon and was well attended."
