Summary: Elias Openshaw's enigmatical notices from March 1869, and the corresponding newspaper clippings from the St. Augustine Press.
Words: 3 x 60
Rating: PG
Warnings/Content: mention of violence, too many references to the history of St. Augustine, Florida, and other events of the 1860s.
9th. McCauley cleared.
In a wholly unexpected relocation, five days after President Ulysses Grant's accession to office, county superintendent Eduardo L. McCauley, with his wife and household of twelve, moved from their home at Moultrie Point to the Spanish colonies in Cuba, whereto he has long maintained close business ties. He intends to establish an Industrial School for the Santa Clara negro population.
10th. John Swain cleared.
Col. John Swain of the Saint Augustine Blues, survivor of the Battle of Perryville, left his quarters at 14 St. Francis Street, ending his lease on the rooms by telegram. He was seen boarding the SS Norwich to Liverpool shortly afterwards. It is believed he signed on with the SS Agamemnon, to date the fastest ship in the Chinese tea-trade.
12th. Visited Paramore. All well.
Howell S. Paramore, his wife, Mary Paramore, and their three children, were found brutally murdered on the family estate. Signs of fighting were discovered everywhere in the house. However, the negroes in Mr. Paramore's employ could give no account of what had happened during the night. Police investigation is on-going. The family will be buried at Tolomato Cemetery next Tuesday.

And I think you've given us a good explanation as to why Paramore tried to stick it out rather than running. He may have felt he couldn't safely move his whole family. And he thought if he ran on his own, revenge might be taken on his family anyway.
