"Bill McCrery's father died in a steamboat accident and he moved to
Freestone Co. in 1853 with his grandfather, William Bonner, his
guardian. He served in the CSA and was a farmer and owned large
acreage. Arabella Bonner McCrery was the first music teacher in
Stewards Mill and ledgers from the Stewards Mill Store show money
borrowed by customers to pay her. Bill McCrery died of a heart attack
on the way home from Fairfield and was buried in Fairfield. His widow
and 10 daughters moved to Corsicana and his body was reinterred there.
They were members of the Presbyterian Church. "

Death of Wm. H. McCreary
He Died Suddenly While Returning Home From Fairfield in a Buggy
Mr. William H, McCreary, near Stewards Mill, died suddenly last
Saturday evening while on his return home from Fairfield. He and Mr.
J. T. Steward had been to town that day and started back home in a
buggy together about sunset. Mr. McCreary just before leaving
complained of feeling a little unwell, saying he feared an attack of
colic which had had a week or two before. After going a short
distance, he seemed to have gotten better and was soon laughing and
talking. About two miles from town he suddenly became quiet and fell
over against Mr. Steward, who soon realized that something serious was
the matter. He hurried onto the residence of Mr. S. J. Talley and
there got assistance and took Mr. McCreary out of the buggy and laid
him on the gallery with a pillow under his head. He gave one or two
gasps and was dead. His death the doctors say was from apoplexy.
The deceased was an old resident of our county, a man about 51 years
old and was held in high esteem by all that knew him. Jovial,
pleasant, full of merriment, he had many friends and was liked by
everyone. His death, sudden as it was and coming when in apparent
health, was a shock to all his friends and a terrible blow to his
family who have the sympathy of our entire community. Two of Mr.
McCreary's daughters were off at school, one at Sherman and one at
Huntsville. They were summoned home by telegraph and attended the
funeral here last Monday. The remains were interred in Fairfield
cemetery, Rev. W. L. Patterson officiating. A large number of people
attested their respect of the dead by attendance at the burial. In
his death, Freestone has lost a good and valuable citizen, one who
will be long missed in the neighborhood in which he lived. Besides
his wife and a large family of daughters, he leaves to mourn his loss,
an aged mother, one sister, Mrs. G. T. Bradley of Stewards Mill."
