| Notes From an undated-unnamed newspaper obituary clipping from 'The Paris Scrapbook' donated by Skipper Steely, handwritten date, October 11, 1916: 'I. D. Tudor, one of the pioneer settlers of this section, died last night at 11:55 at the residence of Dr. S. W. Wilson, 108 Bonham street, where he had made his home for the past five years. Funeral services will be conducted there by Rev. W. B. Kendall at 1 o'clock this afternoon and Wildey Lodge I.O.O.F. will have charge of the burial at Evergreen cemetery. Mr. Tudor was born in middle Tennessee, April 12, 1836, and was in his 81st year. When eleven months old his father, K. L. Tudor, came to Texas with his family and settled near where Pecan Gap, Delta county, is now located. Indian raids were so frequent that for the safety of his family he brought them to Paris, and in 1838-9 they moved to and settled on what is known as the 'Old Tudor place' a mile east of Paris. Davis Tudor grew to young manhood there, and in 1861 he married Miss Cynthia Rice, the daughter of another pioneer, who survives him. Later he located on a farm he bought seven miles southwest of Paris, where he and his wife lived until they came to Paris five years ago. Mr. Tudor was the last of his family, his brothers and sisters, among whom was Mrs. John Gabbert of Paris, having preceded him to the great beyond. His death was due to a valvular affection of the heart, from which he had suffered to some extent for five years. He had a serious attack about a year ago and his death was expected, but he rallied and was able to again go about the city. Last August he was again attacked and had suffered almost continuously since then. As a man and a citizen Davis Tudor was beyond reproach. He served in the Confederate army as a member of Col. Charles DeMorse's cavalry regiment, and was severely wounded in one of his hands. After the war closed he returned to his farm and tilled the soil till advanced age demanded that he take the rest which he had earned and for which, by thrift and forethought, he had provided. He was long a member of the Odd Fellows and enjoyed the meetings and associations of that order. While not a church member he was of the Baptist faith and lived the life of a good, moral, upright man. It was always a sorrow to Mr. and Mrs. Tudor that no children came to bless their union, and they lavished their affection on their nieces and nephews. Mrs. Tudor's two sisters, Mesdames Emma Wilson and A. C. Paul, and her brother, Z. S. Rice, all of Paris, are still living, and with them and the other relatives, many Lamar county citizens will join in sorrow for a good man's death.'
