Crockett County Sentinel August 10, 1923 ***THE SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. D. B. COLVETT*** But few men have been born and reared in Crockett County since its organization, with a wider acquaintance throughout the county than D. B. COLVETT, who died very suddenly in the home of Dr. W. T. REDMOND at Crockett Mills, last Sunday evening about 8:30. He ate supper with his brother, Bun, intending to attend revival services at the Christian Church. On his way with his brother to church, he remarked that he had a pain in his chest; that he would go by to see Dr. REDMOND for relief. The doctor administered and in a few minutes, Mr. COLVETT was relieved. At his suggestion, Dr. REDMOND went to church, telling him he and his brother would follow in a few minutes. The doctor had just reached the church when a messenger was dispatched, and before he arrived, the soul of the man loved and respected by the people of his native county had been called to its reward. He was always respectful, gentle, and kind in the home as husband and father, in all the meetings of county Board of Education, of which he was a member for a number of years. for the past 15 years, no community in Crockett County has accomplished more along all lines of solid, tangiable progress than Nance School House community, and no one man in the community was entitled to more credit for developing this spirit than D. B. COLVETT. He leaves a wife and five children. Burial in Alamo Cemetery.
