I am not related I just found this in the paper:

BAIRD STAR, Saturday, March 7, 1896
DEEP CREEK DOTS Mar 4th
Died on the 2, last at the residence of Grandpa Hadley, Mr. Thos. Ligon, at the early age of 22 year. It is only about 15 months age that this industrious young man was attached by the first signs of that insidious disease consumption, which in short time got such an unrelenting grasp on him that not withstanding the best care and attendance he sank rapidly and hopelessly. The young and vigorous life struggled hard against the treacherous foe and the poor boy suffered for months in agony in pious resignation unto the ...his Creator. Finally the angel of death ended his misery and opened for him the bright gate to join his father and to join his mother who had proceeded him only a few months, and whose grave is close to his last resting place at the Callahan City cemetery. The deepest sympathy of the community goes toward the bereaved brothers, John and Joe Ligon and above all to the venerable grandparents who in their old age have to undergo the trying ordeal to bury children and grandchildren in such rapid succession.
