�Uncle
Tom,�
as
he
was
known
to
practically
all
of
the
residents
of
Corsicana,
had
been
a
familiar
figure
here
for
many
years.
He
was
born
in a
little
log
house
near
the
site
of
the
Navarro
county
courthouse,
and
distinctly
remembered
the
days
when
buffaloes
were
seen
frequently
in
this
section
of
the
county,
and
the
days
when
the
present
town
was
a
mere
village
about
the
courthouse.
He
was
born
Sept.
9,
1852,
and
resided
in
Corsicana
all
of
his
life
with
the
exception
of a
few
months.
�Uncle
Tom�
was
one
of
the
oldest
natives
of
Navarro
county,
and
was
one
of
the
first
white
children
born
in
this
section.
Survivors
are
his
wife,
three
daughters,
Mrs.
J.
H.
Falson
and
Mrs.
John
Smalling,
both
of
Corsicana;
Mrs.
R.
D.
Bond,
Chicago;
ten
grandchildren
and
two
great-grandchildren.
Born
Near
Court
House.
--For
more
than
three-quarters
of a
century
Mr.
Duren
had
resided
in
Corsicana,
and
seen
the
city
of
today
gradually
unfold
from
the
few
struggling
houses
of
most
primitive
construction
that
constituted
the
settlement
when
he
was
born
near
where
the
majestic
Navarro
county
court
house
rears
high
above
the
surrounding
country.
He
saw
a
succession
of
court
houses
before
the
present
one
was
built
a
few
years
ago,
the
first
few
being
log
and
wooden
buildings.
Farm
crops
were
grown
and
cattle
grazed
over
the
entire
area
now
occupied
by
the
Corsicana
business
and
residential
districts
when
Mr.
Duren
was
a
boy
and
there
were
no
real
highways
and
few
roads
that
could
be
called
such
then,
the
travelers
merely
seeking
out
the
places
where
the
various
ravines
and
creeks
might
best
be
crossed
in
the
wagons
and
on
horseback,
the
accepted
mode
of
travel
in
those
early
days.
He
saw
the
age
of
steam
come
on,
then
the
automobile
and
still
later
the
airplane
as
rapid
and
easy
modes
of
travel,
and
during
these
times
many
other
changes
also
occurred
that
has
made
for
ease
and
comfort
of
the
peoples
who
inhabit
this
section
of
what
was
then
almost
the
outpost
of
civilization.
Mr.
Duren
has
seen
great
herds
of
buffalo
roam
this
part
of
Texas,
and
wild
game
in
those
days
was
plentiful,
in
fact,
it
was
not
then
dreamed
that
it
would
ever
become
as
scarce
as
it
is
today.
He
always
admitted
that
the
life
of
the
pioneer
was
not
a
bed
of
downy
ease,
but
it
was
a
happy
life
in
most
instances.
With
the
passing
of
�Uncle
Tom�
Duren
another
of
the
old-timers
has
gone
to
his
reward
and
he
will
be
missed
by
hundreds
who
met
him
and
talked
with
him
daily
and
were
always
entertained
by
his
reminiscences
and
his
unfailing
good
humor
and
optimism.

IN
MEMORY
William
Bain
(Bill)
Ward,
born
June
28,
1897,
married
to
Estell
Ware
Oct.
13
1915.
To
them
were
born
three
children,
William
Bain
Jr.,
Guy
Raymond
and
Maydell.
He
lived
in
or
near
Richland
community
all
his
life.
Well
known
by a
large
number
of
people
he
had
many
friends
and
was
appreciative
of
them.
Mr.
Ward
had
been
sick
for
about
three
years.
A
large
part
of
this
time
he
was
confined
to
his
bed.
But
no
man
could
have
borne
his
suffering
more
patiently.
Sometime
in
January
1931
he
made
peace
with
God
and
said
he
felt
his
sins
forgiven.
On
the
24th
day
of
May
1931
he
united
with
the
Methodist
church,
the
service
being
held
in
his
home.
He
was
baptized
on
his
death
bed.
After
he
had
been
received
into
the
church
he
said
he
was
happy
in
Christ
Jesus
and
felt
he
had
done
all
he
could
do.
He
said
if
it
was
God�s
will
he
would
like
to
get
well
and
live
long
enough
to
prove
to
the
world
that
he
was
a
changed
man
and
that
he
was
giving
the
remainder
of
his
life
to
Christ.
On
Sunday
morning
before
he
joined
the
church
that
afternoon
he
called
his
two
boys
by
his
bedside
and
told
them
not
to
live
a
wasted
life
but
to
life
right,
give
their
lives
to
God
and
be
men.
May
God
bless
those
boys
and
all
the
family
and
may
they
live
and
follow
the
earnest
words
of
their
father.
Besides
his
wife
and
three
children,
he
leaves
a
good
mother,
several
brothers
and
sisters.
He
departed
this
life
June
2nd
about
2:30
p.m.,
1931.
His
body
was
laid
to
rest
in
Richland
cemetery
in
the
presence
of a
host
of
friends.
May
God
bless
the
family
and
friends
and
may
this
be
an
unbroken
family
around
the
throne
of
God
is
our
prayer.
VAN
P.
MORRISON,
Pastor.
