Roll of Honor
Incident
Carlie Hyde joined Company L of the Texas Rangers stationed at Clint in El Paso County on March 25, 1918. Hyde, his wife, two daughters, and several rangers stationed at the Clint camp contracted amoebic dysentery from a contaminated well used by the rangers and their families. Hyde and one of his daughters died, but his wife and one daughter survived. Captain W. W. Davis requested that the State of Texas pay for his funeral expenses, and the state agreed to reasonable expenses. There was no medical insurance for the family, so the captain and the rangers used their own meager funds to bury his daughter, and send his wife and surviving daughter back to her family in Kerr County.
Hyde had been a Texas Ranger for only one month and six days. He would have been 29 years of age on May 26. He was buried in Marfa, Presidio County.
Pvt. Hyde, On today, the 100th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of the state of Texas.
