for WILLIAM ALEXANDER ROUNTREE: Information
offered by the daughter of Emily
Jane
Rountree, granddaughter of James
L. Rountree & Musadore Flack: William
Rountree, a son, who went to California (probably a
forty-niner), and was living at Oakland, California, in the
early fifties of the last century. In the early fifties,
sometime prior to the year 1854, he left Oakland Cal., with
his partner, and started for Mexico to look after some
mining interests, and was never heard from again. He left a
wife and two daughters at Oakland surviving him. I have now
in my possession a California gold piece minted in 1853. William
Rountree sent this gold piece, a fifty-cent gold
piece, and a twenty-five cent gold piece, and a one dollar
gold piece, all called California money, back to my mother,
Emily J. Parks. My
coin bears the date of 1853. It is by the date on this coin
that I fix the date when William Rountree left Oakland for
Mexico and was never heard from again. I have always
understood that he left Oakland about the time he sent these
coins to my mother.

for Samuel Lewis McFarland BURNET BULLETIN. The Burnet Bulletin, a weekly newspaper first published in January 1873, was edited until 1874 by George Whitaker. According to other sources, T. A. Stone may have founded and first edited the paper as the Burnet County Exponent, then sold it to Whitaker, who changed the name. Subsequent publishers included C. W. Miller, Charles M. Harris and Company (1875), Swift Ogle and Company (1876), S. L. McFarland and James Kibbee (1876), and James Kibbee (1877). C. W. Macune,qv Charles M. Harris, and Swift Ogle were successive editors. Ogle became editor and owner in 1878 but disappeared with some of the paper's funds in 1879, after which Capt. T. E. Hammond served as editor with financial assistance from Gen. Adam R. Johnson.qv James A. Stevens ran the paper from 1880 to 1898, when it was acquired by L. C. and Hardee (J. H.) Chamberlain, in whose family it remained until 1960. Ward Lowe, D. C. (Chester) Kincheloe, Lowell C. Welch, Ted C. Polk, and Mr. and Mrs. George Puckett of the Bluebonnet Publishing Company published the paper between 1961 and 1975. Another weekly paper known as the Bulletin and Bertram Enterprise was published briefly by Mr. and Mrs. Ted Polk and Mrs. Marvin Dodd in 1974. The weekly Burnet County Bulletin appeared from 1974 to 1987 and the Bulletin and Marble Falls Messenger after February of the latter year. Former Dallas newsman Tom Graham and associates purchased the paper in 1981 but sold it later that year to Mac B. McKinnon.
