Gertrude
Siwinski
Feb 13, 1924 – Feb 12, 2012
 On
Feb. 12, 2012 our Lord called Gertrude Siwinski to eternal
rest. Her loss will be mourned by many people for she was a
wife, a mother, a grandmother, a great grandmother, a sister
and a friend.
She was predeceased by her husband, Edmund M. Siwinski, as
well as all of her six siblings.
Gertrude was born Feb. 13, 1924 in Greenpoint section of
Brooklyn, N.Y. She moved to Corsicana, Texas in October
1965, with her husband and four of her five children. She
was an active member of the Immaculate Conception Church and
community. Most photos of Gertrude over the years found her
in one of two locations, the kitchen or the sewing room. She
retired as the food service manager for the Corsicana School
District. She also volunteered in the kitchens of the “Food
For Fitness” and the “Ministry Food Pantry” organizations.
When she wasn't working her magic with the needle and thread
for her family she sewed for the church and community in
both Brooklyn and Corsicana.
Gertrude was an avid reader, a movie buff, and a worker of
crossword puzzles until her eye sight failed her. She never
lost her love for jazz and caberet music and the Texas
Rangers. She could quote Shakespeare and Bette Davis, the
cowardly lion, or sing you a song and tell you an off-color
joke. Her sense of humor will surely be missed.
Gertrude leaves behind her daughters and sons-in-law, Diane
and Joseph Fiscina of New York, Donna and J. Michael Barrett
of Mansfield, Trudy and William Carey of Pottsboro; her sons
and daughters-in-law James and Candi Siwinski of Corsicana
and Daniel and Lori Siwinski of Katy; eight grandsons; one
granddaughter and six great-grandchildren.

Mary Estelle (Martin)
Beaumont
Mar 15, 1847 – Jan 19, 1916
RECEIVED SAD MESSAGE
Sister of Mr. J. H. Martin Passes Away in Austin
From Wednesday's Daily.
Mr. J. H. Martin received the sad news this morning that his sister,
Mrs. Mary E. Beaumont, widow of the late Dr. Nathan Beaumont of
Austin, had died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lacy at Austin.
Mrs. Beaumont was seventy years of age at the time of her death and
was a resident of Corsicana many years ago, her husband, Dr. Nathan
Beaumont, having at one time been engaged in the practice of
medicine in Corsicana with Dr. W. J. W. Kerr, some thirty years or
more ago. The Beaumont home at that time was at the corner of Fourth
avenue and Thirteenth street, where what was known as the Old Cedar
Hall stood. For the past few years the deceased lady had been in
somewhat impaired health as the result of old age and when taken
sick several days ago with an attack of lagrippe, it soon caused her
death.
Mrs. Beaumont was a native of Mississippi, and in the early days had
many exciting experiences with Union soldiers, who on several
occasions, overrun her home in Macon, Miss., and confiscated much
property. On one occasion her home was being raided by soldiers, who
forced their way into the parlor where she was playing on the piano
and demanded that she play a Union song. She refused to do so and
started up on “Dixie. Out of resentment for this action some of the
soldiers cursed her and ran the lady and her family away from home.
From Macon she came to Texas where she has lived since. She was a
scholar in French and English and leaves many friends in the state
among who are many old residents of Corsicana, who will be grieved
to learn of her death. In addition to her immediate family she
leaves, besides her brother, Mr. J. H. Martin of this city, two
sisters, Mrs. Lollie Ross of Center, Texas, and Miss Lizzie Martin
of Fort Worth.

MRS. ELLA KING SHOT TO DEATH; HUSBAND INJURED
TRAGEDY OCCURRED SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN FAMILY HOME HERE
Mrs. Ella King, 58, is dead from gunshot wounds said to have been
inflicted by her husband, T. J. King, at their home, 808 South
Twentieth street, late Sunday afternoon, and Mr. King is in the
Navarro County Hospital, suffering from self-inflicted wounds about
the head and neck, as a result of a difficulty at the home.
Mrs. King was reported to have received one pistol wound from a .38
calibre Harrington & Richardson pistol the bullet having entered the
right hip and ranging upward, penetrating almost through the body.
She died almost instantly.
According to information received by persons who were at the scene
of the tragedy shortly after it occurred, the husband attempted to
take his own life with a knife whetstone, and later with a flat
iron. He later was taken to the Navarro County Hospital and was
reported resting well Monday morning.
Funeral services for Mrs. King will be held from the chapel of the

Harris, assistant county attorney, and Deputy Sheriff J. M.
Westbrook started an investigation of the affair Sunday afternoon
and it was continued Monday.
According to testimony secured at the investigation Monday morning
before Judge Jordan, no previous difficulties had come to the
attention of neighbors.
Father and Son Struggle
L. E. Dugger, a neighbor, arrived at the house a short time after
the shooting. Whit King, a son of T. J. King had disarmed his
father. Whit King had gone over to his father's residence to shave
him and the shooting occurred about the time that he arrived.
The house showed that a terrific struggle ensued between the two
men, the younger finally getting his father's weapon from him and
getting him out into the yard by the time that Dugger and others
arrived.
Dugger stated that the elder King begged, “Turn me loose, let me
finish the job.” Alvin Copeland also testified that the wounded man
asked to be allowed to return to the house.
Later, after a physician had administered first aid to his wounded
head, Mr. King was reported to have attempted to end his life with a
flat iron, suddenly leaping from a chair, grabbing the weapon and
raising it above his head with both hands, but persons in the room
grabbed him and prevented the attempted injuring of himself.
Surviving Mrs. King are one daughter, Mrs. Hall Womack, Alto, Texas;
one step-son, Whit King, Corsicana; three step-daughters, Mrs. Sadie
Ramsey, Houston; Mrs. Clyde Williams, Thompsonville, and Mrs. Dazie
Randall, Appleby, Texas.
The attending physician and others were of the opinion that the man
was temporarily insane. He had worked for the Magnolia company at
the local refinery for many years, and was drawing a pension. He had
been in ill health for several years.

In Memory of Mrs. Rutherford
On May 14th, tho people of our community wore made sad when they
heard that Mrs. J. A. Rutherford's life had ceased here.
Mrs. Rutherford had been a patient sufferer for some time and all
that loving hands and medical attention could do was done. She had
submitted to an operation, but she failed to have vitality enough to
stand the shock.
Our community has lost a good woman, one who did not want to be
conspicuous, but who was willing to do anything to help a neighbor
or to help In any way she could for the good of her community, She
was a loving wife, a devoted mother, a sweet and wholesome example
of consecrated domestic living.
She was fifty-four years old, had been married thirty-four years and
was a member of the Christian church twenty-seven years. She was
laid to rest in the Chatfield cemetery after services held in the
church at Tupelo by Rev. B. E. Kimbrow. She leaves a loving husband,
eight devoted children besides numerous friends to mourn her sad
departure. May the God of comfort be the stay of the bereaved family
and may they like she, ever trust in Jesus.
