Willie was burned to death after the family returned to Texas. He was about six years old - Uncle Gene said he could remember seeing it happen. Willie was trying to start a fire with coal oil, caught fire and burned to death. This happened at Comanche. They left Willie and told him to be sure and keep a good fire in the big range cook stove. Willie poured kerosene on the fire - it exploded. Uncle Gene was right behind him - tried to help him - he ran, and a hired man caught him. They put out the fire. A Weaver cousin rushed to his aid, too, but unfortunately, Willie was too badly burned and died."
2. CHARLES TILLMAN "CHARLIE" GILL
Charles Tillman Gill , known as "Charlie" was born in Brazil. According to family records, his middle name was given to him in honor of Benjamin Tillman, the Governor of South Carolina. However, Tillman was not elected until 1890 and was only 21 or 22 at the time of Charlie's birth, making that story a bit doubtful. Family records also state that Charlie died in Brazil not reaching his first birthday. But, he is shown on the "British Lion" manifest as an infant for the return trip back to the United States. One can only assume that the manifest was written up before sailing and that Charlie passed away prior to the sailing in September, 1869. He is not listed on the 1870 Census taken in McLennan County Texas. (See above Census Records)

4. VICTOR CLAYTON NOWLIN
Victor C. Nowlin, 88, of Salinas, passed away peacefully Wednesday, March 18, 2009, with his loved ones at his side at his home in Salinas.
Vic was born Oct. 26, 1920, in Port Arthur, Texas. Not unlike many from "The Greatest Generation" Vic's life was profoundly shaped by the lessons The Great Depression and World War II taught him. Lessons that served him in goodstead throughout his long life.
During World War II, Vic proudly served in the U.S. Navy where he had the privilege to visit many places both here in the United State and throughout the Pacific. One port of call was San Francisco. It was there, at a dance, that he met the love of his life, Joan Hazel Utz. In 1944, they were married and spent 54 years together until her passing in 1998.
In 1959, Vic and Joan moved to Salinas where he worked as mail carrier for the United State Postal Service. He adopted several stray dogs whom he found along his route. All who brought great enjoyment to Vic and Joan.
Vic had a great love at golf. As a young man he caddied at the local golf courses. There he learned the game and played on many of the top courses where he met many of the top golfers of his early days. He often played golf at the Salinas Fairways where he and his friends, "The Bandits", frequently gathered. One of his most memorable achievements at the Fairways was to hit a "hole in one" in 1980.
In 1998, a new chapter began in Vic's life. He met the Calender Family, Kurtis, Jan, Kourtney, Scott, and Shane. He spent the last 11 years with them where he was fondly and affectionately known as "Granpa Vic". He enjoyed horseback riding with Kourtney's horse Kavort, teaching Shane golf, and riding his bike with Scott. These were many shared and precious memories that will last a lifetime for the Calenders.
To Jan he was like a father, very kind and caring. She will always refer to him as a person with unconditional love and a heart as big as Texas. She will miss their breakfasts together.
He will be truly missed by the many friends that he made throughout his life, both from long ago and especially those who he made during the past 11 years.
Our family wishes to extend a special thank you to the nurses and SVMH, Luci and Min, and Doctors John Carlson, Mark Adame, and Christopher Oh for their excellent care to Victor.
"Farewell and Godspeed Granpa Vic" Love Jan
Survivors: His sister, Dorothy Calkins; nieces, Donna Schultz, Linda Hansen, and Dayna Perry; and a great nephew, Christopher Schultz.
Services: According to his wishes, no services will be held. True to his Navy heritage Vic asked that his remains be scattered at sea.
Memorials: To celebrate, honor, and remember Vic's life, a donation to your local animal shelter is kindly requested and would be much appreciated. Otherwise, have a piece of coconut cream pie for him. He would love that.
Arrangements: Healey Mortuary & Crematory, 405 N. Sanborn Road, Salinas.
