Lost Their Baby Girl.
A daughter, born to Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Royall on Saturday last, died
at 1 o�clock this morning, and the remains were interred in
Oakwood today.
Notes:
--
Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Royall have the tenderest sympathy of a large
circle of friends, in the death of their infant daughter, Gladys
Lorrain, who was buried from the family home on the morning of June
8th at 11 o�clock . The funeral service, so appropriate and
impressive, was conducted by Rev. C. H. Booth of the First Methodist
Church in the presence of a few close friends and relatives.
Scarcely had these fond parents and devoted brothers and sisters
illuminated the future with hope and placed their hearts upon the
little treasure where like a young and tender but smitten by the
frosts of death, little Gladys Lorain faded from this earthly
garden, but was transplanted to bloom forever in that beautiful
heavenly garden above, and though her angel-like visit on earth was
short, a tiny flower covered mound in beautiful Oakwood, and a
precious memory growing more sacred with the years, will ever bind
the loved ones closer to Heaven, and closer to Him who sees even the
tiny sparrow as it falls to the earth, and who cares so tenderly for
His own.

Finis L. Seale Is Found Fatally Injured Sunday
Finis L. Seale, 58, vice president of the State National Bank was
found dead about 3 p.m. Sunday on a ledge of the second floor of the
bank building near the northeast corner of the structure. His hat
was found in a men's restroom on the sixth floor, directly above the
location of his body, Isaac Neely, negro, maintenance man at the
bank, stated. Neely, had discovered the body from the eight floor as
he sought him when he (Seale) failed to return home and his car was
found parked near the bank.
Rites Monday
Funeral services will be held from the McCammon Chapel Monday at 4
p.m. Burial will be in Oakwood
Cemetery. The rites will be conducted
by Dr. Matthew H. Arnold, Fort Worth, retired minister, former
pastor of the Westminister Presbyterian church here of which Seale
was a member.
Seale was a native of Kerens and came to Corsicana in 1923 with the
First State Bank and went to the State National Bank when the two
banks were merged in the early 1930s. He was a Rotarian and Mason.
Walter Hayes, justice of the peace, conducted a coroner's hearing
Monday morning but did not immediately return a verdict pending a
hearing of additional witnesses not available Monday at midmorning.
Talked To Workmen
Seale came to the bank Sunday morning, is reported to have conversed
with workmen employed in improvements and changes in progress in the
main banking establishment, then went by elevator operated by James
Earl Polk, negro, to either the fifth or sixth floors.
Neely said that in the afternoon, he was contacted by Mrs. Seale when the banker failed to return home, and seeing his car still
parked near the bank, immediately inaugurated a search of the building with Polk. Neely looked out of an eighth floor window and
saw the body on a ledge where the air conditioning units are located. A window was reported open between the fifth and sixth
floors on a stair landing. Neely was not positive whether the restroom window was open.
Neely said he frequently drove Seale's car for him to Kerens to visit his brothers and other places on Sundays, but had not seen the
banker Sunday until he discovered the body.
Injured In Auto Crash
Seale, his wife and daughter were critically injured Christmas, 1954, in an automobile accident in East Corsicana, and James Cerf, bank director and close associate of Seale, said he was still
undergoing treatment for injuries suffered two years ago. He went to Waco for a brace last week, Cerf said.
Earl Seale, Kerens, a brother, president of the First National Bank at Kerens, also said his brother had never fully recovered from the
injuries suffered in the 1954 wreck.
Dick Salter, deputy sheriff, answered the call and Sheriff Rufus Pevehouse, also conducted an investigation Sunday afternoon.
Dead Several Hours
It is believed Seale had been dead several hours when his body was discovered. A part of a tile section on the ledge was broken and blood was discovered on the ledge floor. His right arm and left leg
were shattered by the fall.
Seale's death came one week after N. Suttle Roberts, long-time president of this bank, died following surgery and a short illness.
Roberts was buried last Monday, one week ago today.

Darlene Miriam (Porter)
Holloway
abt 1932 - Aug 6, 2013
 Darlene
Holloway, resident of Pelham, passed away peacefully on
Aug. 6, 2013, at the age of 81. She went to be with her
Lord Jesus Christ surrounded by her loving family.
Born to Elmer and Jimmie Porter in Pelham, she was the
middle child of five children.
Darlene was predeceased by her loving husband, Michael
Holloway Jr., her brother, James Wilburn Porter; her
parents; and nephew, Dr. Rick Heiskell.
A fifth generation Pelham Community native, she grew up
in Pelham and accepted Christ into her life at an early
age at Wesley United Methodist Church in Pelham. After
graduating from Pelham High School at age 15 in 1948,
she attended Samuel Huston College (now Huston Tillotson
University) and graduated with honors in 1952. After
beginning her teaching career in Pelham, she completed
her master's degree at the University of Denver and
furthered her post-graduate studies at the University of
California at Los Angeles.
Darlene married Michael Holloway Jr. in 1960, they had
no children. She joined him in Dallas and continued her
teaching career as a dedicated classroom teacher,
counselor, and principal in Ferris ISD. She retired as a
Home School Coordinator from the Dallas ISD in 1985 and
returned to the Pelham Community, focused on loving and
caring for her community.
During this time, she was instrumental in setting up a
4H scholarship to honor her mother, Jimmie Porter, which
is still offered to this day. As a retiree, Darlene had
a passion for gardening, volunteering, genealogy
studies, music, maintaining and beautifying the
community entryways, parks, historical markers and could
be seen picking up litter in the community daily. She
loved cultivating and giving away vegetables from her
garden. Instrumental in starting the Pelham Community
History Museum in 2001, Darlene maintained a vision for
the museum's place in the community and kept a special
hope and vigil that it could be lifted to its highest
potential. There are few lives untouched by Darlene in
the Pelham community, and she will be missed by all.
She lived passionately throughout her life, both a
servant leader and selfless philanthropist, always
reaching out to those in need. She gave her whole life
to the enrichment of her family and community as an
active long-standing member of Wesley United Methodist
Church, where she served as pianist and caregiver.
Beginning in February of 1992, Darlene volunteered
numerous hours as a �Pink Lady� with the Navarro
Regional Hospital Auxiliary. She took great pride in
assisting with outpatient surgery on Wednesday mornings,
registered patients, and escorted customers to lab,
radiology, OP surgery and many other areas. She received
numerous awards, including being named Volunteer of the
Month of July in 2007 as well as recognition giving over
3,700 hours per year to this very meaningful and
worthwhile service organization.
Darlene was a loving wife, sister, aunt, cousin, and
friend. She is survived by her sister, Cecilia Heiskell;
brother, Bernard Porter Sr.
(Alva Jean); sister, Elayne Robinson (Burtis), all of
Pelham. Her very grateful and devoted nieces and nephew
are Ronnie Heiskell (Truly), and children Sean,
Stephanie, Stephen and Charis of Houston; Michael
Heiskell (Anita) and children Marin, James, Michael Jr.
and Mason of Fort Worth; Bernard Porter Jr. and children
Nicole and Nicholas of Corsicana; Bruce Porter and
children April and Candace of Oklahoma City, Okla.;
Connie Hicks (Sidney) and children Sid and Chris of
Rochester, Mich.; Ralph Porter (Pam) and children Lauren
and Ryan of Abilene; Tina Baker and son Andre Jr. of
Dallas; Brad Robinson (Felicia) and children Constance,
Jonathan, Jordan, and Joshua of Memphis, Tenn. She
leaves behind many cousins and many other extended
family members and many friends.
The most �precious gems� of her life were her beloved
nieces and nephews which were a source of great joy and
pride for her. They remember her as an avid and tireless
supporter and cheerleader, always putting their needs
first. Though her community service was outstanding,
even more remarkable was her devotion to her family and
friends. �We are deeply saddened by her passing, but
strengthened by her faith and legacy,� said Michael
Heiskell, one of Holloway's nephews.
Honorary Pallbearers will be her former students of
Pelham High School.
Pallbearers will be her nephews.

P3 Porter
Ranch Family Cemetery in Pelham.
Dear ones, there's something you need to know;
Death has knocked upon my door, And I am ready to go.
I have no strength left within Me to stay and fight,
And I have no desire to � now I�ve seen the light.
For the light of death is brighter Than the light of
day.
And death's sweet voice is calling Me � calling me away.
So dear ones, very soon I know That you will weep,
As my body falls into an everlasting sleep. But read
these words I�ve written once again, and you will see,
I welcome death with loving arms � It holds no fear for
me!
