  	per letter
  	Mary Jones wrote to her aunt Susan Bounds, relating, "Mr. Bene (Bean?) the man that bught Uncle's (Uncle Alec - unk who Uncle Alec was) place, had a very serious accident a few weeks ago. He was helping to blas the rock in George Gacobs' [Jacobs] well and was working in it with a pice of steel where the powder was and struck fire and blew up in his face. He is almost well now he will lose one eye if not both. He can see out of his left eye but it pains him a great deal yet." {letter is attached}
  		Letter - 1860, 07/11 from Mary to Aunt Susan Bounds Butts, referencing her new bro, Andrew (my g-gf), and other family news. Written in Dewitt Co, mailed from Helena, Texas. "Mr. Bean" referred to in this letter was Russell Bean, a 30 yr-old gentleman from Alabama, with a wife and two small children. She states Mr. Bean had bought Uncle "Alec's property and had a wonderful well, sustaining 4 families thru a drought. She states that he had been hurt in an explosion while blasting a well for George Jacobs who was son of Andrew Jacobs. A.J. Jacobs and Bean were neighbors with only one residence between them. George Jacobs was connected to the Jones family by marriage as his sister-in-law Julie Wilcox was 2nd wife of Alfred Allee, who was widower of Ann Lovelady, daughter of James and Nancy Lovelady. George was living next door to the Loveladys. Thanks to Geneva Garrett's voluntary search, she found the transaction where Russell Bean bought 252 acres from A. Allee, etux (Book J pg 239) A. Allee must be Alfred Allee, who was indeed Mary's uncle, but odd that he would be referred to as "Uncle Alec." She also states "Pap and Grandma talks of going to the mountains they have sold their cattle." (Pap=James Lovelady; Grandma=Nancy) She also mentions of Ann Bosworth's marriage: "I was surprised to hear of Ann’s wedding. I think she is quite young."
