Capt. William H. Dean  Texarkana, Feb. 12 - Capt. William H. Dean, aged 
76, died last night at his home after an illness of several months. He is 
survived by his wife, three sons and one daughter, who are Henry Dean, 
Dallas Tx; Hugh Dean, Joplin, Mo.; Edward Dean, Mena and Miss Sophie Dean, 
Texarkana.

Captain Dean served through the Civil war in an Alabama regiment, and was 
a charter member of the local Texarkana A. P. Hill Camp, U.C.V., of which 
organization he had been adjutant and commander. In compliance with his 
request, a large Confederate flag, carried by his company through the war, 
was wrapped about the body and buried with him this afternoon.

Captain Dean lived at Jefferson, Tex. for several years after the war, 
moving to Texarkana in 1876. Hugh B. Dean, a brother, formerly chief of 
police on the Texas side of town, is near death with cancer. His condition 
today was reported very critical, and he is not expected to survive longer 
than a few days.; ag2/13/17
