Erath people and events listed.
: "James Madison French was born July 23, 1843 in Marshall County, Alabama, a son of Lewis Pinckney French, who later became a pioneer in Navarro County, Texas. James served the Confederacy as a soldier in Co. I, 4th Alabama Cavalry. Official records say he enlisted at Guntersville, Alabama on August 1 1862, and is shown present for duty on a roll dated February 13, 1864. His wife's name was Sarah Frances Walker, and they were married on October 17, 1866 in Marshall Co., Alabama. She was born January 26, 1846 in Marshall County, and died January 24, 1937. The widow was pensioned and in 1921 said she had lived near Arlington for 48 years, thus they must have come here about 1873. The widow died in Dublin, Erath County, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. R. Wood. James M. French died September 12, 1918. Mr. and Mrs. French lie buried near several of their family members in Bedford Cemetery. They had at least eight children, including Delia F. French, William Bell French, Bettie Elizabeth French, James Henry French, Marquett Ann French, Nettie French, William Hugh French, and Maud French. A newspaper obituary for Mrs. French has survived among the papers of her descendants: �Last Rites Held At Bedford for Mrs. Sarah Frances French. Mrs. Sarah Frances French, known among her many friends here as �grandmother� French, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. R. Ward, Dublin, Route ?, at 7:00 Sunday morning. Her death followed a brief illness which put her to bed for four days preceding her death. This illness which at first was not thought to be serious developed into pneumonia. Mrs. French, had she lived until Jan. 26, 1937, would have been 91 years of age. Preparations had been made to have a family reunion and an afternoon reception in her honor. She was born in Marshall county, Alabama on January 26, 1846. In 1866 s"

Image Title: Dead Coyote on Fencepost
Category: Environmental Issues
Technical Details: Canon EOS 1v, Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 lens, Kodak 100VS film, 1/125 second at f/16, with fill flash used on the coyote
Location: Highway near Stephenville, Texas
Description: While traveling along a Texas back road, I saw this dead coyote hanging from a fencepost, its feet bound by a leg snare. I understand that some ranchers believe that hanging the dead coyote in plain sight sends a message to other coyotes to stay away. I doubt that it works, but I do believe it sends a message. To me, the coyote has a messianic quality, crucified for alleged "sins" against man but perhaps representing our greater sins against nature itself.

I strive for images that are simple, graphic, evocative, and surreal. I believe you should judge images with your heart; technique is just a tool, not the ultimate goal. I find myself repeatedly drawn to nature and wildlife and the impact of man on both.
My images have been displayed at various galleries and museums and in various publications such as PhotoMedia, Professional Photographer, Outdoor Photographer, The New York Times, and Audubon Nature Calendars. With a partner, I have finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the Valley Land Fund Wildlife Photo Contest (www.valleylandfund.com). On my own, I won the 2001 Coastal Bend Wildlife Photography contest (www.wildlifephotocontest.com). A 2001 issue of Professional Photographer magazine featured me as their monthly cover artist. At the 2001 Fotofusion Photography Festival, I was chosen by Art Wolfe to receive the festival's Rising Star Photographer Award. You can see more of my images on my web site.
