Texans Receive Carnegie Hero Medals for Courage
The Carnegie Hero Fund Commission awarded 25 medals this year including three silver and 21 bronze.

Bronze honors were given to the families of Greenville Crisp of Doole who died rescuing a man from a well, and to Mrs. Roy Cox of Houston for stopping an infuriated bull attack with a broom after saving a man’s life.
