BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE
Paid to Judge J. W. Scott By Hon. R. S. Neblett.
The following beautiful tribute in the memory of Judge J. W. Scott
was delivered over his bier on the occasion of the funeral yesterday
by Hon. R. S. Neblett;
My Friends;--The tenderest of human impulses bring us together at
this time. We come to bid farewell to the dissolving and perishing
form of our friend, J. W. Scott, and once more to renew in our
memories his qualities and acts, good and lasting. While we stand
here let us put together the lessons of his life. What did he mean
to you and to me? At this time candor is a duty; flattery is vain
and useless. We know that omnipotence cannot be deceived, and in all
this world there is nothing so sublime and beautiful as simple
truth. It would be no act of friendship to claim for him a fautless
life. He was, as we are, mortal, and like is made mistakes and
committed errors. He struggled as we struggle; he failed as we
failed; he had his victories as we had ours; and he was one of us.
After all it seems to me that the failures in our lives rather than
our victories draw us closer together, and in an hour like this
demonstrate that we are all brethren in the flesh and proclaim the
universal kinship of all animate nature. His faults were not such as
imbitter human nature nor such as to undervalue the duties of life.
He was a man of honor. We met him in business and social life and it
required no analysis of his words or acts to find his position and
reveal the truth. He greatly valued the touch and living friendship
of his associates and held in high respect every impulse which
showed a good deed or a kind word. He was a brave man and his
courage was shown in many a battle field in the Confederate army;
but he was brave not only in arms, but in thought. He was a free
thinker and had the same respect for the freedom of thought of
others that he claimed for his own.
He had the tenderest feeling for his mother and for his wife, both
dead, his mother many years ago and his wife only recently. He left
a written request of me respecting certain things he wanted done and
foremost among these was a manifestation of his undying love for his
mother and a tribute to his wife. The thought uppermost with him was
that provision should be made for taking care of the grave of his
mother in Louisiana, and his wife�s purity should be enshrined in
marble. He left a written inscription he desired placed on the tomb
of his mother, and also the inscription he desired placed on the
tombstone of his wife. After giving the date of his mother�s birth
as February 22, 1813, and her death, April 13, 1864, he quotes as
follows; �The wife, mother and friend of the Confederate soldier.�
On the tomb of his wife the last words he desired inscribed after
giving the date of her birth and death were the �A mortal death, and
angel�s birth.� On his tomb he desired inscribed the words: � A
member of the Army of the Confederate States.�
These were his ideals, Mother, Wife, Government, and that the ruling
passion was strong in death. �It is no more possible to prevent
thought from reverting to the ideal than it is to prevent the sea
from returning to the shore.�
Our friend lived nearly to the age of 76 years, and for more than
forty years of that time in Navarro county and Corsicana.
From his life we can all get something that is good, and let us
carry in memory kind thoughts of him who is now no more.

PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN DEAD
Mr. A. B. M. Walker Died Suddenly This Morning
A. B. M. Walker, aged seventy-two years, and who had been a citizen
here since 1899, died suddenly at his place of business, corner
North Tenth street and East Fourth avenue, at about 10:30 this
morning.
Mr. Walker, who is in partnership with his son, Henry Walker, had
done a big poultry business here for a number of years, was
preparing to ship some turkeys. His son was making out a bill of the
shipment and the deceased went to the rear of their place of
business to get the turkeys. The son had finished making out the
bill, and thinking his father was late coming with the turkeys went
to see what was the matter and found his father dead on the floor
with a turkey being held in each hand.
The sad news of this unexpected death spread rapidly over town, and
expressions of sincere regret were heard on every hand.
During his long residence here by a high minded and honorable course
of life the deceased had won the esteem of all who knew him, and his
death will come as a shock to people in every quarter of this and
adjoining counties, for he had done business for many miles in every
direction from Corsicana.
The deceased was born near Columbia, Murray county, Tennessee, and
came from there to Corsicana. He was one of the substantial devoted
members of the United Presbyterian church, and in all essentials was
a substantial and honorable citizen.
The deceased is survived by his wife and eight children, Mrs. J. A.
Ranson, wife of Rev. J. A. Ranson, who with her husband are
missionaries in British India; Ed Walker, Henry Walker, and Mrs.
Robert Galloway of Corsicana; Frank and Lloyd Walker of Dallas; Mrs.

Edd Knott
Feb 15, 1885 - Jul 14, 1917
TWO MEN KILLED IN ACCIDENT
Ed Knott and Dewey Phillips Victims of the Grade Crossing
A very sad tragedy happened today about 12:30 o'clock when the
southbound Hustler due here at 12:35, struck a Chevrolet car bound
for Dallas, killing both occupants of the car.
About 12:15 Ed Knott, driving a Chevrolet, accompanied by Dewey
Phillips started to Dallas in Mr. Knott�s new car and as they were
crossing the H. & T. C. tracks about three miles north of this city
at Exall Heights, their car was struck square in the center by the
southbound Hustler. The car was completely demolished. Mr. Phillips
was killed immediately, but Mr. Knott lived a short while, expiring
before reaching here. The Hustler was stopped and the two men placed
on cots, the train arriving in Corsicana about thirty minutes late
as a result of the accident. The conductor of the Hustler reported
the accident by wire to the superintendent at Ennis and after all
had been done that could by the train crew, the Hustler preceded on
its journey south.
Ed Knott was a substantial farmer living on the Powell road about
six miles east of town. He was the father of six children, the
youngest being one year old. His wife died about one year ago and he
lived on the E. T. Gillean farm. He was about forty years old and
bore a good reputation. Dewey Phillips was 18 years old and lived
near Mr. Knott with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Phillips. Both
of the deceased lived in the Phillips Chapel community.
Shortly after the bodies were brought here the family and friends of
the two unfortunate men were notified and the bodies were removed to
Sutherland�s undertaking parlor in the ambulance where they were
prepared for burial. Both men evidently died from wounds received in
the head as neither one was mangled, but both were badly bruised.
Immediately after the Hustler arrived news spread of the accident
and quite a crowd gathered at the depot before the bodies were
removed. One of the particularly sad features connected with the
tragedy was the fact that the grandmother of young Phillips was on
the train that killed her grandson.
Today�s accident was one of the worst accidents to happen in this
county and brings the death list up to four killed from this county
by automobile accidents in the past ten days.
No one was able to give a reason for the accident, but parties who
were on the train say that the car was hit square in the center as
it was crossing the track and that the automobile was literally torn
to pieces.
Parties here who went to the scene of the tragedy this afternoon say
that a peculiar feature of the wreck is that the car, a Chevrolet,
was torn literally to pieces, but that the windshield nor the lamps
were broken, and although the spokes were broken out of every wheel,
that not a tire was punctured.

Memorial Service Held Sunday For Miss Mae Barnaby
A short but impressive memorial service for Miss Mae Barnaby was
held in the Young Adult department of the First Methodist Sunday
school on Sunday morning by members of Mrs. George E. Jester�s
Sunday school class, with Mrs. Gladys Kinsolving as chairman. Mrs.
Hubert Love, president of the class, executed the program ,
introducing Mrs. Bell White as speaker for the occasion.
Mrs. White, substitute teacher for Mrs. Jester, paid a glowing and
well-deserved tribute to Mae Barnaby as a church member, Sunday
school worker and Christian character. Miss Barnaby had been an
active member of Mrs. Jester�s class for the past twelve years, and
had held the offices of treasurer, vice president, president,
program chairman, and assistant teacher.
Mrs. White referred to Miss Barnaby�s splendid talk on �The Bible
and What It Means to Me, which was given in the department some time
ago, at the request of Mrs. Lynne Wortham, program chairman for the
day, and in well chosen words, spoke of the reverent way in which
Miss Barnaby handled the subject, which is still vivid in the memory
of all who were present on that occasion. Mrs. White closed her
tribute by reading excerpts from the poem, �My Bible and I.� which
Miss Barnaby read from the flyleaf of the Bible of the late Mrs. S.
M. Roughton, as the climax of her tribute to the �Book of Books.�
Mrs. C. J. Colp, vocalist-member of Mrs. Jester�s class, brought to
those present a message in song, �O Dry Those Tears,� (del Diego),
which was impressive in its appropriateness and rendition. Mrs.
Hubert Love was accompanist for the number.
In conclusion, the following prayer which had been selected by Miss
Barnaby as a class prayer, was read by all present.:
�Create in us a clean heart, O God, make our lives helpful and
beautiful for others and for Thee.�
Dr. Hubert Love, superintendent of the department, added words of
praise for Miss Barnaby�s faithfulness and efficiency as an Epworth
League worker in the church.
And thus closed a beautiful tribute to a valuable member of the
Young People�s department of the First Methodist Sunday School.

Notes:
Deborah "Debi" Yvonne
(Fator) Beard
Aug 23, 1968 - June 20, 2015
The
world lost a shining light when Deborah �Debi� Yvonne Fator
Beard left this life on Saturday, June 20, 2015. She was the
daughter of local realtor Marie Fator Sligh and sister of
America's Got Talent winner and Las Vegas ventriloquist
Terry Fator. She was a warrior who battled the excruciating
pain of advanced rheumatoid arthritis for 30 years. She
fought long and hard, yet she was always more concerned
about everyone else's happiness than her own.
In spite of all the pain Debi endured, she looked for the
beauty around her and miraculously found a way to smile,
encourage others, and delight in the joy of her own life.
Debi's indomitable spirit was an inspiration to everyone who
knew her. She was a ray of sunshine to everyone she met even
while quietly fighting her own battles of pain and
suffering. No matter how much pain she was in, she would
invariably dig deep enough to find her optimism again.
Debi's ability to lift people's spirits when they were down
came from knowing what it felt like to hurt. Her heart was
full of love and it was contagious. She had an invincible,
courageous and generous spirit and her light will live on
forever as a tribute to her luminous soul.
Deborah&*#39;s creativity and talents were innumerable, from
making beautiful pieces of jewelry to knitting, crocheting,
cross-stitching and music. She even taught herself how to
play the piano. When the pain in her hands prevented her
from doing one craft, she searched for one that was easier
for her to do. Her final enjoyment was doing watercolor
paintings and her artwork talent amazed everyone.
Aside from her family and friends, music, movies and reading
were Debi's greatest passions. While she was versatile in
her choice of music, it was the wide variety of subjects of
the books she read that amazed everyone. Even with all the
pain she struggled with, Debi was fiercely independent. When
something broke, she searched You Tube for a way to repair
it before she would ask for help. Generally, she was
successful in making the repair herself.
For many years, Debi was the sound engineer for her
brother's band and also created and sold hand puppets for
several years. She was the co-founder of Hope for Brighter
Days, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping victims
of abuse until her health prevented her from participating.
Deb, you are finally at peace and free of pain. Run! Dance!
And spread your wings!! Although you have earned it, you
will never know how much your smile, your laughter, your
quirky humor and your delightful presence will be missed.
Deborah is survived by her mother, Marie Fator Sligh and
Maries husband, David M. Sligh; her two brothers, Jep Fator
and his wife, Pam; and Terry Fator; her beloved niece,
Alyssa Fator; her best friends, Danny and Tiffany Castillo
and their three sons, or as Debi referred to them, "her baby
boys," Aaron, Ethan and Logan; her beloved kitties, Josie
and Zoe; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins � all of
whom she deeply loved.
A Celebration of Debi's life will be held at Corley's
Funeral Home at 2 p.m. on Friday, July 10. In lieu of
flowers, we ask that you make a donation in Debi's honor to
either of the following 501(c)(3) organizations:
