The Paris Morning News
Fri. Feb. 13, 1920

Had Given Away Much Valuable Property

The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Paul, the aged widow of the late Col. Jake Paul,
who died at the Sanitarium at an early hour yesterday morning, will be
held at 10:30 o'clock this morning at her residence on the upper floor of
the brick building at the corner of 21st and Kaufman streets. The burial
will be at Evergreen cemetery, where an individual vault was constructed
yesterday to receive the remains by the side of her husband. Her death was
not the result of paralysis or a sudden attack of illness as was at first
reported. When she was found lying on the floor of her room unconscious,
it was caused by stumbling and falling on the floor while carrying an armful
of wood and breaking a hip. She lay on the floor in freezing weather until
she became unconscious.

When her husband died he left her a very large estate, which included
$1,000,000 cash in the bank, a valuable blackland farm of 300 acres and
valuable property in Paris. Before her death she gave away all of her real
estate and most of the cash, but still retained ample sufficient means to
support her. She was born in Lamar county and was 82 years old. She leaves a
brother Z. S. Rice in West Paris, and a sister, Mrs. M. L. Wilson, who makes
her home with her son, Dr. S. W. Wilson at Bagwell.

On June 24, 1869 as A.C. Paul, he married Sallie Rice in Lamar County, Texas.

The Paris News Tuesday, November 21, 1911
Alfred Clement Paul, an old resident of Paris, known by all of his
acquaintances as Colonel Jake Paul, died at his home on South Main Street at
2:15 o'clock yesterday morning. He had been in failing health for several
months and was confined to bed a long time. A few weeks ago he appeared
on the streets for a short while, but suffered a relapse and only survived
a short while. The deceased was born in Booneville, Missouri, in 1836 and
came here in 1848 with his father's family when he was twelve years old. All
of the members of the family have been dead for several years. Soon after
coming to Paris and while still a boy the deceased started out in life for
himself and for many years worked at a turning lathe at Willett Babcock's
furniture factory. During his life he accumulated an estate valued at least
at $100,000, although for many years he was not engaged in business. He lived
a frugal life and derived a steady income from his property. At the time of
his death most of his estate was in cash. The deceased at the beginning of
the Civil War enlisted in the 9th Texas Field Artillery and was a member
of Captain J.M. Daniel's battery. Except the time that he was in the army
he resided continuously at Paris. In 1869 he married Miss Sallie Rice,
the daughter of Zach Rice, one of the pioneer residents, and ever since his
marriage had lived at his home on South Main Street. Only one child, a son,
Willett, was born to them and he died about twelve years ago. He is survived
by his wife. The deceased was a self-educated and a self-made man and was
considered a man of considerable intellect. During the Buffalo Exposition
and the St. Louis World's Fair he attracted a great deal of attention
by announcing some original ideas in regard to astronomy at a meeting of
scientific men. The funeral was announced to be held at 10 o'clock this
morning, but on account of the brick masons not being able to have the vault
in which the remains are to be placed in Evergreen Cemetery ready by that
time the funeral was postponed until 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. At the
request of the deceased no religious services will be held in connection
with the funeral, but his friends will meet at the home and W.J. McDonald,
who lived in his home twenty-two years and was an intimate friend, is
expected to pay a brief tribute to his memory. Brief remarks may be made by
J.K. Bywaters and perhaps one or two others. The remains will be conveyed to
Evergreen Cemetery at 2 o'clock. Although Mr. Paul was a believer in God,
he never affiliated with any religious denomination and he gave this as
one of his reasons for desiring only a friend's funeral over his body.
