Note 1: Samuel Matthew Carriker "…had a blacksmith shop in Cooper, Texas for many years… he patented a device to prevent thievery on boxcars on June 11, 1895, in Durant, Indian Territory..." He was "...a master wood-working craftsman also, and the Carriker descendants, who still live in Mineral Wells [Texas], have many wooden boxes with intricate designs he hand-crafted, and a violin that he made by hand and played also. He died of TB, and after his death, a hand-written note was found inside the violin that read something like this: "To all my children and grandchildren - This consumption and coughing has contributed to a terrible way of life for me. I hope and pray to God that all of you have a better life than I have had." [Source: Glenda Frost].
