William
Montgomery Tatum
May 6, 1850 - Sep 5, 1926
PIONEER
BUSINESS MAN PASSED AWAY EARLY HOUR SUNDAY
W. M. TATUM HAD BEEN RESIDENT OF CORSICANA SEVENTY-FOUR
YEARS
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock for
W. M. Tatum, aged 76 years, pioneer resident and business
man of Corsicana, from the First Methodist church, of which
he had been a member of the Board of Stewards for forty
years or more, with the Rev. C. R. Wright of Fort Worth
conducting the services, and Rev. John M. Burens, presiding
elder, and Rev. W. R. Beaird, assistant pastor of the
church, assisting. Burial was in
Oakwood cemetery.
Pallbearers were J. L. Halbert, C. L. Jester, J. N. Edens,
Sam M. Kerr, Fred Fleming, R. L. Hamilton, Lawrence
Treadwell and J. S. Eubank.
The choir of the church rendered the music for the services,
with Mrs. Eugenia Story at the organ, "How Firm a
Foundation," "Abide With Me," And Jesus Lover of My Soul,�
favorite hymns of the deceased were sung in a touching
manner, as tears stood in the eyes of the singers, for Mr.
Tatum was a friend of each member of the choir, and for many
years they had all seen his face each Sunday in his
accustomed place in the church.
Mr. Tatum died at his home, 729 West Third Avenue, at 6:30
o'clock Sunday morning after several days of serious
illness. He had been in ill health for some time. He had
recently returned from Colorado where he had gone in the
hope that the climate there would put him on the road to
health again. He was not helped and returned home and had
seemed to be gaining in strength when he was stricken with
his final illness.
William M. Tatum was born in Murry county, Tennessee, on May
6, 1850, the son of S. L. Tatum and wife, who was a Miss Lee
of Virginia, the senior Mr. Tatum being a native of
Tennessee also. The family came to Texas and settled at
Corsicana in 1852. Mr. Tatum grew to manhood here and later
married Miss Georgia Cunningham of Waxahachie, a daughter of
the late George Cunningham, pioneer of Ellis county, and one
of the largest landowners in that county. Five children were
born to this union, one of which, Wister Tatum, died many
years ago. He is survived by his widow and four children, C.
A. Tatum, G. L. Tatum, Ralph Tatum and Miss Ethel Mae Tatum
and two sisters, Mrs. Mattie Hilliard and Miss Fannie Tatum,
all of Corsicana, as well as several grandchildren, nephews,
nieces and other relatives. These were all at his bedside
when the end came early Sunday.
Mr. Tatum had been in business in Corsicana continuously for
fifty-six years, and at the time of his death was president
of the W. M. Tatum Hardware Co Wholesalers, and the
Tatum-Cunningham Hardware Co., retailers, as well as being a
director in the First National Bank. He was also a member of
the Texas and the Southern Hardware Jobbers� Association. As
a business man he had built up such a reputation for honesty
and square dealing that his commercial life was a success
from every point of view, as evidenced by the steady
increase in business from a small beginning to a business
that ranked among the largest of its kind in Central Texas.
When Wm. Tatum made a statement in regard to a commodity he
offered for sale or in a business deal of any kind, that
statement could be relied upon with implicit confidence.
Perhaps nowhere else outside of his home will he be missed
to such a great extent as in church circles. For more than
forty years he had been a member of the Board of Stewards of
the First Methodist church. The length of his membership in
the church dates even further back. He was a consistent
church member and Christian and has done as much as any man
in Corsicana toward the upbuilding of the First Methodist
church, not only lending his spiritual aid, but always
backing the church in a financial way in every forward move.
He was one of the principal benefactors of the Texas
Methodist Orphanage at Waco and was a close personal friend
of the founder of that institution, the Rev. Abe Mulkey, for
many years. He gave liberally to the institution and the
little children in that home never had a better or truer
friend than he was. He was most unostentatious in his
charities, which were many, and cared not for publicity nor
the plaudits of the multitude. He was just a good and true
Christian gentleman of the true Southern type.

Editorials
Mr. W. M. Tatum
Mr. W. M. Tatum is dead. A husband and father has been taken
from the midst of his family to his home in the great
beyond - Corsicana and Navarro county has lost a valued and
beloved citizen - and a friend of man has passed on. As a
pioneer resident of business men, Mr. Tatum has watched
Corsicana grow from a village to a city of many thousand
population. He was one of the city�s builders and he was
always found in the front ranks doing his part when any
project was advanced whereby the community would be
benefitted.
He has been a loyal member of the First Methodist Church for
many years and his place in this church will indeed be hard
to fill. To him much credit is due for the prominent place
the First Methodist church holds in the religious life of
the community. He was an untiring worker and gave liberally
of his time and worldly goods in building the church.
He was prominent in business and social circles of the city
and he will be greatly missed by many. Even though his
spirit has passed to another world his works will keep his
memory fresh in the hearts of many as the years roll by and
his name will always be spoken with reverence and respect.
Indeed Corsicana has lost a valued citizen - the church a
valued and loved member.
The Sun wishes to join with Mr. Tatum�s host of friends in
extending heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. |
Notes:

Mr. W. M. Tatum.
The book lies open-just where he last wrote -
A heritage that time and faith may keep;
Tho throbbing presses pause, for they, too, know the master
is asleep.
The book lies open; turn the written page -
For love and time the hallowed records keep;
And memory guards with jealous care her own -
The master is asleep.
Corsicana lost one of its oldest most valued and best loved
citizens on September 5, 1926 in the death of Mr. W. M.
Tatum. Beneath a canopy of lovely flowers, tokens of love
and esteem, he was laid to rest in
Oakwood cemetery Monday
afternoon, after impressive services held at the First
Methodist church - the church he loved, and of which he was a
loyal member for many years.
The sympathy of friends throughout the city and state goes
out to his devoted wife and his beloved daughter, sons and
grandchildren.
Those from out-of-town attending the funeral were Rev. C. R.
Wright and wife of Fort Worth, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Burgess,
Dallas; Mrs. Y. C. Edmonson, Waxahachie; Mr. Jack Lehave,
Fort Worth; Mr. Joe Speight, Dallas; Mr. John R. Corley,
Mexia; Mrs. Robert Tatum, Eureka; Mr. and Mrs. Dave
Langston, Powell; and others from near-by towns. On Sunday
Mmes. Ed Cunningham, Borz Cunningham, Miles Hastings, Miss
Betty Kate and Roger Edmonson were over for the day, but
were prevented by a heavy downpour of rain from returning
for the funeral.

Sarah
Elizabeth (Young) Barnaby
Nov 22, 1842 - Jan 22, 1919
Obituary.
Mrs. I. L. Barnaby was born Nov. 22, 1847 in
Henderson county, Tenn., and departed this life
January 22, 1919, at P. and S. hospital in
Corsicana, Texas. She came to Texas when only a
child with her mother, Mrs. Young. Miss Sarah
Elizabeth Young was married to Mr. I. L. Barnaby
December 22, 1871 by Rev. W.W. Thomas (notice
that she was born, married and died on the 22nd
of the month.) To this happy union were born
five children, Nancy Maggie who died in infancy,
J. M. Barnaby of Bartlesville, Okla., Mrs.
Walter Dubose and W. B. Barnaby of Corsicana,
Texas, and Mrs. Lee Frazier of Roane, who
survive here and were present to pay their last
respects to one who was so near and dear to them
for they are now left without father or mother,
as their father, Mr. I. L. Barnaby was called
away April 15, 1900.
Mrs. Barnaby was a true Christian wife and
mother, who became a member of the Methodist
church in early life and was a member of the M E
Church at Zion�s Rest at the time of her death.
The church has lost one of its truest members,
the community one its best ladies and the home
its most precious jewel for "what is a home
without a mother?" But dear children and other
relatives, as an old and true friend of your
mother, let me say to you in this sad hour, do
not weep, but rejoice that your mother was a
child of God and that she will never have to
suffer any more for we know your loss is her
gain, for she is now at rest with God and if you
will trust in her God to save your souls you can
all meet her again some sweet day where there
will be no more parting. Mrs. Barnaby was a kind
and true friend and was loved by all who knew
her. During my thirty years acquaintance with
her I can truthfully say that I never heard one
harmful word said of her. She was gentle, modest
and patient like so many of our aged mothers
are, and so few of our younger mothers are that
I want to ask her daughters and granddaughters
that they strive to be as true wives and mothers
as she was, and to ask her children, if they are
not Christians to prepare to meet God in peace
and as a friend I extend to you my tenderest
sympathy. But remember that God alone can
comfort you in your sorrow.
Oh weep not loved ones her spirit has fled.
The body of your dear mother is consigned to its
cold bed.
Her face once so lovely is for awhile concealed.
Tis sad, indeed sad, that the home once so
bright,
Should have ever been clouded with tears or with
blight.
But death spreads her wings over cottage and
hail
And brings anguish, tears and sorrow to all.
Yet behind the dark clouds the sun still shines
bright.
And morn will disperse the dark shades of the
night.
And God will then wipe all the tears from thine
eyes.
When you meet in the fields of sweet paradise.
Her life was so pure, her nature was love,
She has gone home to our Father above,
Where she sweetly awaits us in mansions of
bliss.
Oh! Is not that home far better than this?
A TRUE FRIEND

Thursday, February 11, 2010 at the Colonial
Lodge Retirement Center.
She was born on December 13, 1927 in Dresden,
Texas to Robert and Eva Ashford, they preceded
her in death. Mrs. Getts was a part of the
"Greatest Generation"� and was a shining example
for all to follow. As well as raising four boys
and tending to their needs, she worked in the
banking industry as a vault teller. In her free
time, she loved working in the yard and in her
flower beds. She was a Christian woman who,
before her trouble with Alzheimer's, last
attended the First Baptist Church of Cumby. Mrs.
Getts would easily have been considered a very
hard worker and faithful friend, but the trait
she would be most proud of was being called a
wonderful mother and grandmother. She left a
legacy for her family to follow and a void that
will never truly be filled.
Mrs. Getts is survived by her husband, Lonnie
Nolen Getts; four sons, James Calvin O'Neal, and
wife Chiree, of Covina, CA, Kenneth Ray O'Neal,
