  • Notes 
    • Information obtained from Julia B. Grayson and Lou Ann Smith

      !SOURCE:Franklin Bartley Funeral Home for birth, death, & burial information.

      !BIRTH:30 Nov 1875, Jonesboro, Craighead Co., Arkansas. Dave had hazel eyes,
      thin build, full head of gray hair, according to Juanita EWING. Had date as
      18 Mar 1870 at 0ne time, so clear this conflict???

      !MARRIAGE: Charlie Alexander EVANS said that his father, Dave, was in Melburne,
      AR and planned to run off to marry Agie. Mr. Page was furious about the idea
      and got his gun after Dave. Mrs Page grabbed Mr. Page's gun arm to prevent him
      from shooting Dave. The shot struck the roof of the porch. Charlie said that
      the bullet hole was still in the roof when he went to visit in 1977.

      !DEATH:29 Oct 1959, Lubbock, Lubbock Co., Texas at Horace & Bertha EVAN'S
      house. Death Certificate File #57497.

      !BURIAL:Resthaven Cemetery, section Q lot 556 Space 4, Lubbock, Lubbock Co.,
      Texas. No marker as yet, 9/6/93.

      !NOTE:Dave's son, Charlie, said that his dad once spent the night at the Dalton
      Gang's house. He was friends with one of the younger Dalton's. When Dave got
      to the Dalton house another guy came up on a horse and the Dalton boy shot
      the man dead. There was no other explanation for the shooting. Charlie said
      that years afterwards Dave would not talk about his episodes with the Dalton
      Boys, even tho he was not one of the gang. Charlie said that even after Dave
      was older he was still a pretty good shot with a gun. One day he shot a cat
      in the head from about 50' away thru a narrow opening in a porch. Charlie
      seemed impressed that his father was still such a good shot.

      !I had Date of birth as 18 Mar 1870 too but opted for Franklin Bartley Funeral
      Home dates. Burried at Resthaven Section Q Lot 556 Space 4, Lubbock, Texas.
