San Augustine History 1929 by Harry P. Noble

November 1929

Roy Russell (30), a well-to-do Milam farmer, was stabbed in the lower stomach on the Hemphill courthouse steps by his nephew, Al HOLBERT (Halbert?), and died a few minutes later. According to M.S. MORRIS, an eyewitness, the stabbing grew out of an arguement over a pair of mules. After the stabbing, Ran Russell, a brother to Roy, attacked Holbert, but Holbert made his escape through the crowd. However, Holbert was soon found and arrested but since he had received several deep cuts on the neck and face he was taken to a hospital where he was kept under close guard.

Roy married Vergie Lorena Halbert before 1924. Vergie (daughter of William Washington "Dick" Halbert, Sr. and Mary Elizabeth Smith) was born on 4 Nov 1905 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 18 Sep 1991 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Halbert Cemetery (Joel Halbert Cemetery / Fox Hill Cemetery), Milam, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

At the time of the 1930 census, he was living with his sister-in-law (Virgie Halbert Russell) and his nephew, Roy D. Russell, Jr.
