| Notes |
- Joseph Cullen Minter, 29, was found guilty of murdering his wife Joann on 26 June 1972 at the Lake Gladewater home of her father, W L Farrar. The trial was reported in the Gilmer Mirror of 19 October 1972. Although Minter was charged with with murder with malice, the jury found him guilty of murder without malice and assesed a 5 year penitentiary term, maximum allowed for this chsrge under Texas law. Joann's death certificate says that her death was due to being shot in the head by her husband, who put a gun in her mouth and fired.
Joseph must have been released from prison after a relatively short time - he married Patricia Ann Emerson in January 1974.
A few years later, Joseph himself was shot dead. It happened on 30 May 1978 in the street in Gladewater and Joseph was shot three times with one shot penetrating his heart.
