Record for Wilson Ferrell
- ↑ Some sources online have stated Wilson's death as taking place in Bright Star, Hopkins County. According to the Handbook of Texas Online, Bright Star was changed to Sulphur Springs prior to Wilson's death.
"The town was originally known as Bright Star when stores and a hotelwere first built at the site, which had become a popular camping placefor teamsters hauling commodities west from Jefferson. A Methodist church was organized in 1852 and a Baptist in 1859. A post office named Bright Star was established in 1854, and the Odd Fellows' Lodge continued to bear that name until 1949. Bright Star was incorporated possibly as early as 1852. Dr. O. S. Davis deeded the public square to thecounty when the town was rechartered and became the county seat in 1870.The name was changed to Sulphur Springs in 1871, when the mineral springs in the area were being advertised to make the town a health resort."
