The Brinkley Argus - Monroe County - June 2, 1898 

"The Masons of H.G. were called on to bury Sam Pointer last Monday, who was 
buried at Old Lawrenceville.  The deceased was one of the oldest settlers of the 
Indian Bay neighborhood.  He is the last old settler in the vicinity in which he 
lived.  Mr. Pointer leaves behind him four children -- Mrs. Dick Mayo, Mrs. Dr. 
Hall, of Turner, Miss Ethel and Ed.  

Mr. Pointer had a very fine landed estate which was very valuable before the 
overflows became so destructive in the Indian Bay section, which has ruined the 
once garden spot of Monroe county, in fact it could not be beat in the state for 
agricultural purposes."
