The burial took place on Saturday, Nov. 26 in the family cemetery at Hawley, near Tide Haven on the old Pierce Ranch. Hall E. Pierce The Tribune, Thursday, received the sad news of the death of Hall E. Pierce, son of Mr. and Mrs. Abel B. Pierce of Blessing, which occurred at his home in blessing following an illness of several weeks. Hall was 21 years old and two months of age and was born and reared in Blessing. He was a student in the University of Texas and was making a splendid record when he was stricken and compelled to return home.
This young man was the scion of one of the oldest and most prominent of South Texas’ families, of a sincere and studious nature and possessed of many sterling qualities. His friends amongst the old as well as the young are many. The sadness and regret over his untimely end is genuine and general in the hearts of all who knew him. The Tribune joins the hosts of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Pierce in extending to them our sympathy in this, their darkest hour of trial. El Maton This community was filled with sorrow Friday when the news reached here of the death of Mr. Hall E. Pierce of Blessing. Mr. Pierce was a young man just entering into manhood. A fine youth and has many friends who regret his going. All was done that earthly hands could do but the powerful hand of God reached down to earth and said come up higher where all pain will be over. At the time Mr. Pierce took sick he was a student in the University of Texas. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Pierce of Blessing. Hall, as he was known among his friends, was a kind loving young man and if any one knew him they would love him. He leaves to mourn his going a kind loving father and mother and three kind brothers and other relatives and many friends. His body was laid to rest in the historical old cemetery at Hawley which was founded by his grandparents many years ago. The freshly molded grave was covered with the most beautiful cut flowers that eyes have ever seen. The funeral procession was the largest that has been led to Hawley for some years. We the people of El Maton which to extend to the bereaved loved ones our heart felt sympathy in this sad hour. Weep not kind friends, you can not call Hall back to you but you can go to him which is a great comfort. May God bless you all.

The sad news that Mr. Plagermann died this morning at 6 o'clock in San Antonio came over the wire to the many, many friends of his and his family. Mr. Plagermann had been in dreadful health for many months, but had regained his strength to a remarkable degree and had returned to his work in Houston some three weeks ago. He contracted pneumonia and last Friday his wife took him back to San Antonio to the doctors who had been caring for his during his prolonged illness, hoping they might help him again, but not so--his condition grew worse till Monday, November 25, the end came and Billy Plagermann is no more. He was a man of jolly, jovial nature, and a popular one with his associates. He was a competent business man, and a friend to his friends. His going over means one ore desolated home, one more heart-broken wife, three fatherless children, and a host of friends saddened. For the wife, the girls and "little Billy," Bay City friends feel sympathy and sorrows. Just one more to answer "present" at the roll call "over yonder" this morning. May a loving Father care for those left behind. A Friend. Matagorda County Tribune, Friday, November 29, 1918 W. H. Plagermann. Shiner, Texas, November 26--The funeral of W. H. Plagermann of Bay City was held here Tuesday from the M. E. Church.

He is survived by his wife, who was formerly Miss Cecil Habermacher, daughter of Judge and Mrs. J. C. Habermacher of this place; also two daughters, Ella E, age 14, and Annie Louise, age 12, and a little son, age 2 years. Mr. Plagermann was 39 years old.

Letter to the Editor Memories Of Sam Prinzing Live On On Aug. 25, 2011 Glen Sam Prinzing was killed on his 302-acre farm which bordered the western edge of Markham. Sammy, as he was known to friends, was born on Nov. 8, 1932. His mother, dad and grandfather moved from Minnesota to Palacios in the early 1940s. Sammy went to school in Palacios until his family moved to the family farm on the edge of Markham. He finished high school in Bay City and then went to the University of Texas to receive his mechanical engineering degree. Sammy’s father ran Coastal Farm Supply in Bay City, and when they moved to the farm and began farming rice he closed his business and devoted all his time to farming. After graduating, Sammy came home and farmed on the family farm until his latter years, when he leased his land to others. Sammy’s dad’s name was Glen Melville and his mother’s was Syneva Prinzing. Sammy was the most compassionate and tender hearted man his friends had every known. He would not kill or harm any living creature nor would he cut down a tree, unless it was absolutely necessary. He was an extremely intelligent individual and could talk and debate on any subject for hours. He was a collector of foreign cars and motorcycles and was a student of the Bible spending hours talking with friends about it. Sammy’s death was a very difficult case for our law enforcement officers but their dedication and tireless efforts were rewarded with the capture of the suspects as revealed in the September 8th edition of the Bay City Tribune. On behalf of his family and friends we would like to thank all those involved in apprehending those involved in Sammy’s death.

Markham man found dead by neighbor Matagorda County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a robbery/homicide after a 78-year-old Markham man was found dead in his home around 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 25. Glen Sam Prinzing was found dead in his home by a concerned neighbor who went to check on the man, said Suzan Thompson, Matagorda County Justice of the Peace pct. 2. “Apparently the neighbor has not seen him in a couple of days and he thought that was very rare,” said Thompson. “He walked over and found him —apparently there was a blunt-force trauma to the head.” Thompson performed inquest on the man at 11:45 p.m. and ordered an autopsy to be performed by the Galveston County Medical Examiner’s Office. Results were not available at press time. The lead detective on the case is Sgt. Doug Pruitt, of the MCSO, and Texas Rangers are assisting with the investigation. No further information could be obtained. Matagorda County Sheriff’s Office spokespeople did not return phone calls at press time.
Three men charged in 2011 murder Two men have been arrested on capital murder charges while a third man is waiting to be served with a grand jury indictment in connection with the murder of Markham resident Glen Sam Prinzing. Prinzing, 78 at the time of his death, was found deceased in his barn near Markham on Aug. 25, 2011 according to a Matagorda County Sheriff’s Office news release. On Friday, Aug. 30, the murder charges were handed down in the form of sealed indictments against three individuals, the release said. Arrested in the case have been Robert Kotlar, 55, of Houston and Michael Horton Sr., 33, of Bay City. At last report, Kotlar and Horton were in custody in the Matagorda County Jail. Each is being held on a $2,000,000 bond. The third person indicted in connection with Prinzing’s death has been identified as Christopher Evans, 23, of Austin. The release stated Evans is in custody in the Travis County Jail on other charges. A detainer was placed on Evans for capital murder from Matagorda County. The release says the indictment will be served on Evans when the charges from Travis County are completed and he is transported to Matagorda County. In response to an email request, Matagorda County District Attorney Steven Reis said the case was presented to grand jury through Texas Ranger David Chauvin. He said there is no probable cause affidavit as the arrest was pursuant to the grand jury indictment. “This has been an ongoing investigation since the date of the reported homicide,” Reis wrote. “And I personally appreciate the tenacity shown by all the investigators involved.” The indictments were based on the investigation that started with the discovery of Prinzing’s death. The release states Sgt. Doug Pruitt was assigned as the lead investigator in the case during the initial investigation. At the time, Sheriff’s Capt. Richard Rooth requested help in the investigation from Texas Ranger, David Chauvin. The release states that Pruitt along with Chauvin investigated the case until all leads were exhausted. This case went cold until 2013 when new information was obtained. According to the sheriff’s office, after many long hours and days of tedious work, the new information resulted in the grand jury indictments. According to a Bay City Tribune story from Aug. 27, 2011, Matagorda County Justice of the Peace Pct. 2 Suzan Thompson said Prinzing was found dead in his home by a concerned neighbor who went to check on the man, “Apparently the neighbor has not seen him in a couple of days and he thought that was very rare,” said Thompson. “He walked over and found him — apparently there was a blunt-force trauma to the head.” Thompson performed inquest on the victim and ordered an autopsy to be performed by the Galveston County Medical Examiner’s Office. In the news release, Matagorda County Sheriff Skipper Osborne said when he took office one of his priorities was to revisit cold cases and to utilize new tools and technologies. He said he was proud of the arrests and grateful for the assistance and hard work of Texas Rangers David Chauvin and Kip Westmorland, and the DPS crime lab.
Defendants in Prinzing murder plead guilty Three defendants charged in the murder of a Markham resident in August 2011 pled guilty in the 130th District Court Thursday. Robert Kotlar pled guilty to the murder of Glen Sam Prinzing, which occurred Aug. 24, 2011 in a barn at Prinzing’s home in Markham. Michael Horton pled guilty to a lesser charge of burglary earlier this year and Christopher Evans pled guilty to aggravated robbery in late March of this year. According to court documents, a neighbor thought it odd he hadn’t seen Sammy, as he was known, in several days. Upon investigation, the body was discovered in a farmhouse on the property with obvious blunt-force head trauma. Local and state investigators found little evidence other than bloody prints on a barn door they couldn’t match. The case went cold for nearly two years until investigators received an anonymous tip. While high on drugs, Kotlar let slip to a friend that he and two accomplices had broken into Prinzing’s farmhouse to commit burglary and killed the owner in the process. Kotlar violated his parole from another crime and authorities matched his prints to the crime scene. Kotlar escaped detection by using several aliases including “Murdock” and “Paul Wayne Conners.” Kotlar’s lengthy rap sheet included previous arrests for burglary, larceny, theft, forgery, drug possession, resisting an officer and giving false information to police. Matagorda County District Attorney Steven Reis acknowledged the additional help of Texas Rangers David Chauvin and Kip Westmoreland as “witnesses and evidence was scattered from Bay City to Markham to Austin.” The case was further hindered by additional scientific testing that was requested by defense counsel. The evidence was sent to the Houston Department of Public Safety crime laboratory twice, then to another DNA lab with even more capabilities than the Houston lab. “The purpose of the testing was to more closely determine the level of culpability for each of the three defendants,” said Reis. “Once all the testing results were finally obtained and reviewed by the prosecutors and the three different defense attorneys, plea negotiations began in earnest in the closing months of 2015.” The court found Kotlar committed the actual murder using a pipe he found on the property, leading prosecutors to believe Evans and Horton didn’t think murder was the plan that day, only burglary.
“These cases never have a ‘happy ending’ because they are brought
about by terrible events,” said Reis. “In this instance, all three
men acknowledged guilt and accepted their punishment. Sadly, that
cannot bring Mr. Prinzing back into the lives of those in this
community who called him friend and neighbor.” |

Died at her home on Cashes Creek, in Matagorda county, on Monday August 10th 1896, Mrs. Chole Pybus, wife of John Pybus, aged 74 years. Deceased who had lived to a ripe old age of three score and ten and four years more, was an old settler of the county, of perhaps a half a century. For a long number of years she lived in the county with her husband, who survives her. We did not hear just how long she had been married, or how long she had lived in the county, but they are very old settlers. Deceased was a quiet character who lived out her allotted time and towards the last she grew very infirm and feeble and finally passed away from the infirmities of old age, but she was a faithful wife, a good neighbor, a good woman and she has gone on just before the aged partner of her life to welcome him home. Peace to her ashes.
