FUNERAL SERVICES FOR MRS. WM. CLARKSON HELD MONDAY AFTERNOON
Funeral services were held from St. John’s Episcopal Church Monday
afternoon at 3 o’clock for Mrs. Jennie Gulick Clarkson, aged 61 years,
wife of Wm. Clarkson, Sr., who died at the family home 1242 West Fifth
avenue, Sunday afternoon about 3 o’clock, after an illness of several
days, although she had been in bad health for a number of years. Funeral
services of the Episcopal Church, of which Mrs. Clarkson had long been a
faithful member, were conducted by the Rector, the Rev. H. J. Ellis,
while the church choir rendered appropriate music. The chancel and all
available space were banked beautiful flowers sent by friends of this
good woman and her family as tokens of love and esteem.
Active pallbearers were members of the vestry of St. John’s Episcopal
Church. All friends of Mrs. Clarkson and her family were designated as
honorary pallbearers.
A vast concourse of friends and loved ones filled St. John’s church for
the funeral services followed the remains to their last resting place
and their tears mingled with those of her devoted companion of 42 years,
and her children and other loved ones in sorrow at the passing of a
truly good, Christian woman.
Mrs. Clarkson was born May 5, 1866, at Brenham, Texas, the daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Gulick, pioneer citizens of Texas. The family removed
to Corsicana in 1871, and on January 21, 1885, deceased was married to
Wm. Clarkson, and they have made Corsicana their home since that time.
Surviving Mrs. Clarkson are her husband and five children, two sons and
three daughters, as follows: Wiley G. Clarkson of Fort Worth; Wm.
Clarkson, Jr., of Corsicana; Mrs. H. Stuart Woods, of Kansas City, Mo.;
Mrs. W. Hugh Johnson of Dallas, and Miss Annie Beal Clarkson of
Corsicana. She is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Annie Beal of
Corsicana and Mrs. Sam R. Hay, wife of Bishop Sam R. Hay, of Houston,
and four grandchildren, William Clarkson 111, and Martha Clarkson,
children of Mr. and Mrs. William Clarkson, Jr., Wiley Clarkson, Jr., son
of Mr. and Mrs. Wiley G. Clarkson of Fort Worth, and Rose Woods,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Woods of Kansas City and other relatives.
The passing of Mrs. Clarkson has brought sorrow to many as she was a
woman who had been faithful to her church vows and who carried cheer and
happiness wherever she went. For many years who has been a leader among
the woman workers of St. John’s Parish, never being too busy or too
weary to lend every assistance in any good cause.
Her home life was ideal and her husband and family were her constant
care and she lived a most unselfish and Christian life.
With her husband she has been a liberal giver to all causes that were
for the good of humanity and it can be truly said that none ever went to
her for aid or comfort who went away empty handed. She will be missed in
all walks of life, but will be missed in her church and in her home more
than anywhere else, and the sympathy of hosts of friends go out to the
heartbroken companion of so many years and the children who feel that
their sorrow is almost too great to bear.
Many telegrams of sympathy were received by Mr. Clarkson and members of
the family from friends and relatives from out of the city and state and
these, with the many beautiful flowers that covered the last resting
place of this Mother in Israel, attested, in a marked degree the wide
influence for good that she had exerted while passing through this
world.

TWO GIRLS KILLED IN AUTO CRASH HERE SATURDAY EVENING
MISSES MARY GRIFFIN AND NELL CHILTON VICTIMS OF ACCIDENT
Mary Verna Parker Griffin, aged 23, daughter of J. W. Griffin of
Jewett and Mrs. M. C. Griffin, 312 South Thirteenth street and Neva
Nell Chilton, aged 23, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Blake Chilton of
Luling, received fatal injuries when two automobiles collided at the
intersection of North Fourteenth street and Third avenue, about 9:30
Saturday night.
Ollie Prince received a badly bruised shoulder and A. L. Elkins was
considerably bruised. Both were occupants of the car in which the
girls were rideing. All of the occupants of the second car escaped
with minor injuries.
The car in which the two girls were riding was going west on Third
avenue, and the second car, driven by Miss Anna Mae Young with
Clayton Hickerson and Miss Jewell Allbritton as passengers was
traveling south on Fourteenth street.
Eye witnesses said that the front bumpers of the cars crashed,
swinging the cars together. The Young car was left spinning at the
intersection by the impact finally turning on its side; it was not
badly damaged. The other car broke the contact and rolled over and
over sideways and end over end for about 100 feet before finally
coming to a halt. It was badly wrecked.
The injured were carried to the Navarro Clinic in the Corley-McMahon
and Sutherland ambulances.
Miss Chilton received a fractured skull, a broken collarbone on the
right side, a broken rib, and internal injuries. She died about 1:10
Sunday morning. Miss Griffin received a fractured skull and internal
injuries and died about 12:35.
Prince was able to leave the hospital after first aid treatment. An
X-ray examination Sunday morning failed to reveal any fractures.
Mr. and Mrs. Chilton arrived in Corsicana late Sunday after being
notified of the accident. Miss Chilton had made her home with Mrs.
Griffin while her parents were out of the city.

Beautiful Tribute To Mrs. J. W. Cheney Buried Saturday
A strong, fine noble character was called to higher service in its
kingdom when Mrs. Lida Grayson Vannison Cheney, wife of J. W.
Cheney, departed this life Friday, August 2, at two o’clock in the
morning at the Navarro Hospital and Clinic.
For the past seven months, Mrs. Cheney had been a shut-in and
sufferer, having been in bed the greater part of the time with a
broken hip. Just lately she had been able to be up and about the
house on crutches following an operation for appendicitis, and was
so happy in the thought that she would soon be able to take up her
duties in her home and church and U. D. C. Work. Fate intervened
though, and for the last ten days her life has been hanging by a
thread at the hospital, where she had to undergo an operation for
the removal of gall stones. All through her months and months of
illness and suffering, she was ever patient and gentle, and filled
with hope. Her nurses and her children found it a joy to minister
unto her. Mrs. Cheney’s heart was forever young. She possessed a
charming adaptability and a sweet, sincere grace, which gave to her
an influence all her own. Unselfishness was a part of her very life,
and gentleness and generosity were foremost in her lofty Christian
character. For the 44 years that Corsicana has been her home, her
beautiful influence was felt as a member of the First Baptist church
and only the Heavenly Father can count the deeds of love and mercy
which she has done in His name.
Mrs. Cheney was a valuable member of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy because of her appreciation and her understanding of the
far-reaching objects which actuated this organization.
Devoted friends sympathize with her beloved husband and children in
this hour of great sorrow, and were it possible to comfort them,
this comfort would come from hundreds of sorrowing friends; but
there is no such thing as comfort at a time like this. Only time,
and time alone can change their tears of despair into flowers of
hope. “Tis to the dear, beloved husband that our hearts go out in
deepest sympathy, for there’s no power this side of heaven that can
soothe the heart of one bereft of the perfect companionship of 45 or
more happy years.
In the passing of Mrs. Cheney many of us have sustained a tender
personal loss. Deep in our hearts we will keep the sweet memory of
her beautiful life as she lived It here among us.
--S. C. B.

Out of Town Friends And Relatives Attend Mrs. Cheney’s Funeral
The funeral services of the late Mrs. J. W. Cheney, held
Saturday afternoon at the family home, was largely attended by a
concourse of sorrowing friends who came to pay their last
tributes of love and respect to this good woman. The service was
impressive as conducted by the pastor of the First Baptist
church of which the deceased was a most consistent member.
Beautiful songs were sung by Mmes. Harry Williams, A. A. Guess,
Henry Robbins and Messrs. Lloyd Kerr and Sidney Brietz at the
home and at the cemetery where she was laid to rest by the side
of her son, Aubrey, who preceded her eleven years ago. Both
graves and one of a little granddaughter, were completely
covered with lovely floral offerings, silent but eloquent
expressions of the love and esteem in which she was held, and of
love and sympathy for her bereft loved ones.
Among the out-of-town relatives and friends, other than her
immediate family were Mr. and Mrs. August Strohmyer, Dallas, Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Berry, Hubbard City, Mrs. Ollie Reed, Mrs. Wood and

FINAL TRIBUTE TO F. M. CHENEY
Entire town Mourns and Many Come From Long Distance
The number of people who crowded into the First Baptist church this
morning was a very substantial tribute to the memory of Mr. F. M.
Cheney. The church was filled to its utmost capacity and so eager were
the people to witness the impressive ceremony that they crowded about
the windows and doors and stood on the sidewalks.
The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and garlands of roses
and morning glory. A very appropriate silence reigned over those who had
assembled there, rumbles of low music resounded throughout the dome of
the church, and the pall bearers entered with a splendid white casket
bearing the deceased citizen. A long train of mourners followed. They
had no sooner seated themselves than the quartette composed of Miss Lois
Noble, Mrs. Turner, Forrest Reed and Hugh Johnson, accompanied by Mrs.
Forrest Reed on the organ, sang “Asleep in Jesus.”
After a prayer expressing sincere love of immortality by Rev. Mr. Vining,
Miss Lois Noble sang a very beautiful solo.
Rev. Jeff D. Ray of Fort Worth who had been an intimate friend of Mr.
Cheney’s for over twenty years, read a scripture lesson from one of St.
Paul’s epistles; “I chose this passage of scripture,” said Rev. Mr. Ray,
because Frank Cheney was of a sterling, true nature that would be apt to
appreciate anything that St. Paul, whom he resembled so much, wrote.”
The audience was then charmed by another solo and Rev. Vining came to
the pulpit to preach the funeral sermon. He took for his text the 30th
verse of the third chapter of 11 Samuel: “Know ye not that a prince—a
great man—is fallen in Israel?” “When a strong, robust tree whose
branches have overspread others, is hewed to the ground we notice the
loss, although it may have been the first time we ever paid especial
attention to the tree. So it is with great men; while they are with us
we have but slight appreciation for their true worth, but when they are
taken from us the loss is plainly evident. I think the text I have
chosen is a very appropriate one. Mr. Cheney’s fall was like Abner’s for
it touched the hearts of men. Many times will men look to the place he
occupied so worthily and find it vacant. This thought leads us to ask,
What is a great man? The history of the world, which is divided into
three parts, may help us answer this question. The first period in
history was when the great man was regarded as a great warlike hero such
as Hercules or Alexander the Great. In the second period the souls of
men bowed in reverence before men of deep intellect. It was in those
days that Homer, Plato and Socrates held the supreme place among great
men. In the last and third stage of human life the righteous man is
considered to be the great man, and Christ is their hero and example.
“We all live in a noble time, for in this time true greatness is
recognized. A Man is no longer judged by his rank or pedigree. There was
a time when a man’s greatness came from his ancestors, but the world has
wisely outgrown it. Heroes on blood-stained fields have fought great
battles but greatest battles that have yet taken place thundered and
roared in the souls of men!
“I now wish to speak of five noble characteristics of the man for whom
we have met to do reverence. He was affectionate, he loved to be with
men, and his heart was tender. He was faithful to his friends and this
faithfulness marked his daily life. Oh him the heathen, saying that
“Friendship is two souls in one,” might be justly applied. He was loyal.
No soul ever lived more loyal to his church, his pastor and his friends
than did this man. He was humble, ready to do his duty; never haughty.
An above all, he had a faith in God that could not be shaken, and he is
now, I believe, enjoying the fruits of his faith. In his will be
touchingly embraced his belief in God, by consigning his family to His
Almighty protection.” Here Rev. Mr. Vining read from Mr. Cheney’s will
under the head of Item 1st, as follows:
“I reverently commit my family and loved ones to the keeping of God who
made them, and trust that each one will have an abiding faith in Him and
that each one may believe in and trust our Lord Jesus Christ for
salvation and that each one may seek the leadership of the Holy Spirit
while they shall live. While I advise an economic administration of my
earthly affairs, and recommend prudence and caution in business matters,
I advise liberality in spiritual matters and hope each one will
contribute of their means as conditions may require and as their ability
may permit in advancing the cause of Christianity.”
“He was not a man who had been to the front, but he had the
characteristics of a great man.
Both the useless and the useful must die. Building in this world is
vanity unless we prepare for the world we are to meet. Only the things
that stand at the Gates of Eternity are truly worth while. Will
affection stand” Eternity above is an eternity of boundless love. Will
friendship stand? There is nothing more enduring than friendship for
Christ said, ‘I go to prepare a place for you.’ Will humility stand?
There is no downfall for humility for it is based upon secure
foundations. Will faith stand? On the wings of Faith this good man
soared into the presence of his Creator!
“We have three parting things to say. He waits beyond the river, and the
meeting will forever blot out the sorrow of the parting. His life calls
back for others to carry on his work. And with his going this life will
never be the same again. The voice that will never again be heard on
earth will lift its voice in the celestial choir.
“While we sorrowfully bid him farewell, we take consolation in knowing
that another voice is calling us from over yonder, and when the Gates of
Heaven first opened to receive his soul Gloryland changed again!”
Rev. Mr. Vining was assisted in the services by Rev. Jeff D. Ray, now of
Fort Worth, but formerly a pastor of the First Baptist Church here,
where the funeral services were held, and of which Mr. Cheney had long
been a useful member. When Rev. Mr. Vining had concluded Rev. begged the
special privilege of having Mr. Fred Freeman, a long-time friend, who
had come all the way from his home in Denver, Colo., to attend the
funeral, pay his tribute to the departed. Mr. Freeman spoke with that
earnestness that showed he was deeply affected. He paid his departed
friend many compliments as he reviewed his sturdy life and referred to
his many noble traits of character, and the religious life that he had
lived for many years.
It is needless to say that the sermon by Rev. Mr. Vining and the talk by
Mr. Freeman were very impressive and that while they were being
delivered tears coursed down the cheeks of many. When it had been
brought to a forceful conclusion Rev. Jeff D. Ray led in a deep
sympathetic prayer.
Miss Sammie Cobb then heightened the devoutness of the scene with a
violin solo, after which the quartette sang “Safe in the Arms of Jesus.”
The friends of the deceased took a final look at the corpse and the
pallbearers bore it to the hearse. Then the vast concourse of people
followed the remains to their final resting place.
It has been some time since such marked respect was shown a deceased
citizen in Corsicana. The schools were closed out of respect to him as
were the business houses in the city. When the invitation was extended
the school children and friends of the deceased who were present at the
church this morning to look upon this good man’s face for the last time
an impressive scene followed. Youth and age gazed upon the calm face and
as they did so many of them sobbed out their sorrow in unison. No
greater homage could be paid any man than this.
Mr. Cheney is survived by his wife and three children, Lou, Byron and
Misses Lillian and Lucile Cheney. Three brothers also are living. They
are Will J. of Corsicana, Joseph of South Carolina and Herschel Cheney
of Portland, Oregon. A deceased brother is Jno. P. Cheney. Mrs. M. H.
Sandwich and Miss Fannie Cheney, both of Corsicana, are two surviving
sisters.
Friends came from far and near to pay their respects and numerous
messages of sympathy came by wire. Among those from a distance were the
following: Mrs. Jas. F. Greer and Mr. Knox Henry of Waco, Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Cheney and family of Hubbard, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Estes of Dallas,
Mr. Hugh Johnson of Dallas, Mr. E. W. Wiggins of Gainesville, Mr. Fred
Freeman of Denver, Colo., and Rev. Jeff D. Ray of Fort Worth.
Mr. Cheney was well-to-do, as well as prominent in church and charitable
work. He was devoted to the Baptist church of which he was an honored
member and to which he contributed largely of his time and funds. He
stood steadfastly by those things that had for their object the
betterment of mankind, and the uplift of humanity and was particularly
enthusiastic when the life and training of boys and girls was involved.
He was a member of the school board where his counsel was sought and his
ideas found favor. He was one of seven citizens of Corsicana who
contributed $5000 each to the Y.M.C.A., was a member of its board of
directors and chairman of the social committee. He was charitable and
did what he could to relieve the poor and remove the tears of the
widowed and cries of the orphaned. He was president of the local United
Charities Association and last winter when the demand of work that bread
might be provided by the working man for his family was pressing Mr.
Cheney aided materially in solving the problem. He owned many broad
acres—three thousand acres, ‘tis said, besides his mercantile
interest—in the eastern part of the county where the Trinity and Brazos
Valley railroad has a station which it calls Cheneyboro in honor of this
man whose death we mourn today. There are on these farms many negroes
and so bread was this man in his sympathy and gentleness that both the
high and the lowly honored and loved him. While Corsicana suspended
business today and in song and prayer and eloquent words told of its
sorrow, at Cheneyboro negroes, from the black mammy and rugged father,
to the little pickaninny have been weeping constantly since the news
reached them Sunday night that Mr. Cheney, the man who was always so
gentle and kind to them, had been called to his reward.
A good man, a generous man and a man who will be missed, has been called
from among us, therefore the entire city mourns.
