Excerpt from Cases Argued and Adjudged in the Court of Appeals of the State of Texas During the Tyler Term, 1879, and the Early Part of the Galveston Term, 1880, Vol. 7 On the 29th of October, 1879, while in oficial attend ance, at Tyler, upon the Court of Appeals, the Hon. M. D. Ector. Its first presiding judge, departed this life after a brief illness. Though widely known that the exhausting labors of his position had greatly impaired his health, and that neither physical suffering nor friendly remonstrance could detain him from his post, the event which, thus terminated his useful and honorable career came with the suddenness of a surprise, and was instantly and universally recognized as a public calamity of no ordinary moment. To the city of Marshall, his home for many years, he was borne by his brethren of the Court of Appeals, the justices of the Supreme Court, the Commissioners of Appeals, the bar of Tyler and attendant counsel, and a numerous cortege of citizens; and there, amidst a community to which he was endeared by every attribute which extorts esteem or inspires affection, and with every tribute that respect and love could offer, his honored remains were consigned to earth.
