  1. Standard, Clarksville, Texas, April 20, 1861, p. 2, c. 6

    Mr. Oscar Dalton, the well known proprietor of the Crockett Printer, died on Monday the 25th ult. after a long illness. He was a native of Baton Rouge, La. where he was born on the 22nd of February, 1820. He came to Texas as a volunteer in her army, in 1837, settling permanently in the State in 1840. He started the "Printer" in 1853, and worked hard perseveringly to place it on a firm foundation, in which he was seconded by the labors of his family. He wielded a sharp and ready pen, and was an excellent paragraphist. About a year ago, he was shot, in a difficulty, a result of a virulent newspaper controversy between himself, and Mr. Hepperla, of the Crockett Argus, and his constitution being weak, received a shock from which it did not recover. He was twice married, and leaves a widow and nine children to mourn his loss. The Printer, we see, is to be continued.
