CAPT. J. W. BAINS PASSES AWAY

Courier
November 22, 1906

News has been received here of the death of Capt J. W. Bains at his home at Fredericksburg, Texas, after a lingering illness. Capt. Bains was formerly a prominent resident of McKinney, having practiced law here a number of years, being a partner of Major Brown, now of Sherman, and also ably edited the old McKinney Advocate. He was Secretary of State under the administration of Governor Ireland. Capt. Bains was a brother-in-law of Mrs. L. C. Largent of this city, having married her sister, Miss Ruth

Huffman, and is survived by his wife and three children. After moving from this city he practiced law at Blanco for a number of years, moving to Fredericksburg three years ago. Capt. Bains was an able lawyer, a forceful writer and a genial, wholesouled gentleman, being well remembered by our older residents who will be grieved to learn of his death. He was sixty-two years of age. [Grandfather of President Lyndon Bains Johnson]
