[La Grange] State Rights Democrat, August 30, 1867, December 6, 1867, December 21, 1867, February 14, 1868, February 28, 1868, March 6, 1868; Weekly Austin Republican, March 18, 1868; Galveston Daily News, June 30, 1867, December 24, 1867, February 28, 1868; Houston Daily Times, September 23, 1868, November 4, 1868, January 7, 1869, May 11, 1869. Though the newspaper report refers to Macumrer simply as "Captain Macumrer," he is presumed to be the same man as G. R. Macumrer, who was listed as a 36 year old engineer in the 1870 census of Fayette County (see Ninth Census of the United States (1870) Schedule 1, Fayette County, Texas). There is some indication that a second boat for service on the river was also constructed in early 1868, though the name of that boat, if it existed, is unknown. The Galveston Daily News of February 28, 1868 states that a man named "Benthal" was also building a boat. He may have been John C. Benthall, who worked as a blacksmith before the war.
