County. Her parents moved to Corsicana when she was just a
child. She attended a girl�s school in Franklin, Tenn., and
later went to the university at Georgetown, Texas. On Jan. 20,

born eight children four of whom survive, Robert Bonner and

McMichael and Byna Taylor; a sister, Mrs. Cora Sanford, many
nieces and nephews, Mrs. Bolivar Smith, Mrs. Buena Seeley. Other
relatives and a host of friends. Early in life Mrs. Bonner
joined the First Methodist Church and remained true to her
faith. She was a devoted mother and loyal friend and went about
in her own unassuming and relentless way to administer to the
needs of others, although she had been in poor health for
several years, she was untiring in her devotion to her loved
ones and friends.

BOY MET HORRIBLE
DEATH
Distressing
Accident At I.
O. O. F. Home
Yesterday
A distressing
accident, in
which a 12 year
old boy lost his
life, occurred
at the I. O. O.
F. Widows and
Orphans Home
between 5:30 and
6:00 o'clock
yesterday
afternoon. Three
of the larger
boys had been
plowing on the
farm about a
half mile from
the home, and
Leslie Williams
aged twelve
years, also an
occupant of the
home went to
where the other
boys were
plowing. When
they began
taking the teams
to go home
Leslie asked to
ride one of the
horses to the
barn, and chose
a young horse
that was not
regarded as
safe. He was
warned by the
other boys, but
ventured to get
on this animal
at any rate, but
before he could
get on the
animal�s back
his foot slipped
and became
tangled in the
chains and as
the horse began
to run he lost
his hand hold
and was
literally
dragged and
trampled to
death. There
were six horses
in the group and
all followed the
animal Leslie
tried to get on
and it is
thought that
nearly all of
the animals
trampled on the
boy as he was
being dragged
from the field
almost to the
hospital door
before the
horses were
stopped the
distance being
nearly a half a
mile, and when
the animals were
stopped the
unfortunate boy
had been
literally
stripped of all
clothing, the
only thing left
on his body
being the shoe
on one foot and
the part of a
stocking on the
other. The body
was terribly
bruised and cut
and several
bones were
broken. The
child was
unconscious when
extricated from
the plow chains
and died in
about 10
minutes.
Leslie Williams
the dead boy,
was a ward of
the lodge at
Eagle Pass, and
had been in the
home eight
years, or since
he was four
years old. The
only relative is
an elder
brother, who is
also an inmate
of the home.
The remains were
interred on the
I. O. O. F. lot
in
Oakwood this
afternoon after
funeral services
at the Home at 2
o'clock.

In Memorial
A tribute to little Laura Fae Nolen.
The Death Angel visited the home of Mr. J. E. Nolen and took from them their daughter Laura Fae. All was done for her that could be done by loving hands and her good nurse and all the medical aid, but all was in vain. God saw best to take her away. Her three married sisters that lived afar off were called to her bedside, Mrs. John Miller of San Augustin, Texas; Mrs. Will Torch of Mesquite, Texas and Mrs. Mary Wellons of Beaumont, Texas, and one of her brothers, Jesse Nolen, who was in San Antonio, at Camp Travis, all were called to her bedside, but her brother had to go back before the end came.
Weep not, dear mother and father, sisters and brothers, she has gone but will not be forgotten. She will be greatly missed in this neighborhood by her friends and playmates. She was loved by all who knew her. That smiling face and cheerful presence will be greatly missed in this neighborhood by her friends and playmates. She was loved by all who knew her. That smiling face and cheerful presence will be greatly missed. We know it is hard to give her up, but our loss on earth is heaven�s gain. May the Lord comfort the bereaved hearts that they may say the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
She was laid to rest in Oakwood cemetery July 21st, at 4 p.m., Rev. J. W. Stephens of the First Christian church officiating. There were many beautiful floral offerings.
A darling one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is still;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Your darling Fae has left us.
She has gone to dwell on high;
She is living in that country
Where they never say good bye.
No farewells there are ever known,
No heartaches up in heaven,
But to the Saints of God above,
A robe of white is given.
Her troubles all are ended here,
Her sufferings all are over,
But in that bright and happy home,
We meet to part no more.
But God had a place in heaven,
That he wanted to complete,
So He took your darling Fae
To fill the vacant seat.
She is resting, sweetly resting,
In His everlasting arms,
She will meet us all In happiness,
As we leave this earthly home.
Written by one who loved her.

Notes:
--
In Memory of
Mrs. Fannie
Stiteler.
When, at the
close of a long
and well spent
life, death
comes to us, it
is not as the
grim monster we
so often think
him, but as an
angel of
light,--a royal
messenger sent
to conduct the
faithful one to
the presence of
the King of
Kings, there to
hear His �Well
done, thou good
and faithful
servant.� It was
thus after
ninety two years
that Mrs. Fannie
Stiteler entered
into the
presence of her
Lord. She fell
asleep quietly
on the night of
June 29th, just
as the week had
closed, and
awakened to the
beauty of an
eternal Sabbath
and the presence
of those she
had, �loved long
since and lost a
while.�
Mrs. Stiteler,
formerly Miss
Fannie Halbert,
was born in 1826
near Tuscaloosa
Alabama. In her
girlhood she
moved to
Aberdeen,
Mississippi
where her
bright,
attractive
personality and
her
conscientious
nature made her
prominent, even
at an early age,
in the social
and religious
life of the
town.
In 1850 she
married Mr. J.
B. Stiteler, a
young Baptist
minister, and
together they
came to
Galveston to
take up the
mission of the
evangelization
of the great new
state of Texas.
The young
minister soon
showed signs of
marked ability
both as a
minister and a
scholar. He was
made professor
of Greek and
Hebrew at Baylor
University, then
at Independence,
and gave promise
of becoming one
of the lead men
of the state.
These were
pleasant years
for the young
couple. Thrown
into intimate
social relation
with General Sam
Houston and his
gifted wife, the
great Texas
educator. Dr.
Rufus C.
Burleson, and
many other
prominent people
of that critical
time in Texas
history, life
opened fair
before them. But
�God�s ways are
not our ways,�
and the young
minister�s zeal
proved greater
than his
strength. In
1856 he was
called up higher
and his
heartbroken,
frail young wife
was left alone
with three
little children
dependent upon
her.
It was perhaps
in these hard,
trying days that
the greatest
traits of her
character
developed, for
she did not
despair, but
with her life
work before her,
strong in soul
and full of
energy, she gave
herself with
self-sacrificing
devotion first,
to the rearing
of her children;
and next to
doing her part
in the
development of
her adopted
state.
Is it
surprising,
then, that with
this sorrow
behind her, she
developed the
power of looking
and living
always in the
present? Here
was a life of
today, and even
in her later
years she lived
and talked most
of the present
with a mind as
keen and alert
for the great
issues of now as
that of a young
woman. But
perhaps that
trait which
endeared her
most to those
around her was
her appreciation
of the beauty
and usefulness
of little
things. It was
the little
thoughtful
kindnesses and
remembrances
that appealed to
her. Never was a
friend sick that
she did not
think to send
her some flowers
or dainty, never
did a child
leave her house
without some
little
remembrance; and
even the
servants in the
kitchen often
knew the kindly
help of those
ministering
hands. It was
people that she
loved�all of
them. She liked
to be with them,
to hear and talk
of their ways
and interests,
and never did
strangers come
into her church
or neighborhood
that she was not
the first to
single them out
and make them
feel at home.
When the great
war of the
sixties
convulsed our
country, a true
Southern woman,
she gave her
help in every
patriotic way.
At its close she
taught school
for a while in
Baylor
University. Then
she spent a few
years with
relatives in
other states,
but in 1872 came
back to Texas
and to Corsicana
to live the rest
of her life.
Here she made
her little home
and surrounded
it with every
attraction so
that it became
the very center
for the young
people of the
town. Here her
children grew up
and became the
earnest
Christians she
longed for them
to be. Here they
married and she
had the pleasure
of seeing, not
only grand
children but
great grand
children. Here
she saw the
little Baptist
church that she
had loved and
worked for, grow
into a strong,
vigorous power
for good. And
here she saw one
by one, the
young men and
women she had
loved and
mothered take up
their life work
and prosper.
It is permitted
to but few to
complete their
work here for
death usually
finds some task
unfinished. But
Mrs. Stiteler
felt and often
spoke of her�s
as done�not as
one impatient to
be gone, but
rather as one
who with the
days tasks well
completed is
glad to sit at
evening to rest
and enjoy the
companionship of
friends and the
beauties of life
a little while
before darkness
falls. Then, as
the weight of
her ninety-two
years grew heavy
she felt a
little tired, so
she fell asleep.
On Sunday
evening the
hands of those
she had known as
young men and
boys, and who
had often
listened to her
loving counsel
bore her to her
church. There
the pastor, in a
few beautiful
words, told of
her life, the
hymns she loved
best were sung
and then she was
laid to rest on
the hillside in
beautiful
Oakwood.
�Ours still to
toss on Life�s
tempestuous
tide,
Hers anchored in
the harbor safe
to ride,
We would not
call her back
though tears
fast flow
But pray in
God�s good time
also to go.�

funeral services
were held Sunday

the home of
Sidney Story,
her nephew, 702
South Fifteenth
street, with
interment
following in
Oakwood
cemetery
beside her
long-departed
husband, The
Rev. M. E. McPhail, pastor
of the Third
Avenue
Presbyterian
church, of which
deceased had
been a member
since its
organization,
conducted the
services.
Pallbearers were
David E. Story,
James B. Story
and George
Harvey, all of
Dallas, and Guy
Hamilton, E. C.
Sears and C. B.
Haley.
A quartet
composed of
Mesdames Ralph
Stell and W. L.
Kirk and Messrs.
Edgar Metcalf
and Lloyd G.
Kerr sang
several favorite
hymns of the
deceased.
Native of
County.
Mrs. Gowan was
born and reared
in Navarro
County and has
been a resident
of the county
for her entire
life, having
resided in
Corsicana for
more than
sixty-four
years. She was
the widow of Dr.
James A. Gowan,
early-day
Corsicana
dentist, who
preceded her in
death by 48
years. She was
well known to
the old-time
residents of
this city but
due to
feebleness has
been unable to
get around much
the past several
years. She was a
life-long member
of the
Presbyterian
church, being a
member of the
Cumberland
Presbyterian
church here
prior to the
merger with the
Presbyterian
Church, U. S. A.
several years
ago and since
that time she
had been a
member of the
Third Avenue
Presbyterian
church.
Surviving are
one brother,
George W.
Powell, San
Antonio, and
numerous nephews
and nieces,
among the latter
being Sidney
Story, from
whose home the
burial took
place. She was
the daughter of
Henry W. and L.
M. Powell,
pioneer
residents of
Navarro county
and one of a
large family of
children, all of
whom have
preceded her to
the grave with
the exception of
the brother in
San Antonio.
The
Sutherland-McCammon
Funeral Home had
charge of the
services.
Mrs. Gowan was
of the
fast-disappearing
type of old
Southern women
who put their
Master�s work
above all else
and ministered
to their family
and neighbors as
admonished in
the scriptures.
She was up until
a short time
before her death
a constant and
interested
reader of the
Bible, which was
her mainstay
during her years
of feebleness
that made her
practically a
shut-in. Before
her health
failed she could
always be found
at the services
of her church in
the work of
which she took a
keen interest
and delight.
The following
nephews and
nieces were here
for attendance
upon the funeral
services; Mr.
and Mrs. James
B. Story,
Dallas; David E.
Story, Dallas;
Mrs. Russell
Harvey and son,
George Harvey,
Dallas; Miss
Laura Marie
Story, Dallas;
Mrs. Curtis
Gibbs and

Mrs. Francis
Forbes of

Survive him. He
was born in Maco,
Ga., was a
traveling man
for a strong
firm for over
twenty years,
when he decided
to settle down
and make his
home in
Corsicana with
his family at
the home of his
father-in-law.
He remained here
for several
years, after
which he and his
family moved to
Dallas where he
was connected
with the
Magnolia
Petroleum
Company.
The funeral will

brother, and Mr.

a
brother-in-law,
both of whom
reached here
before he passed

Dallas, Mr. and
Mrs. Roscoe Cook
of Mexia, Mrs.
D. W. Cooley and
Mr. and Mrs. W.
M. Anderson of

Lizzie Martin of
Fort Worth.
Mr. Lumsden was
well known not
only in
Corsicana and
Dallas, but over
a large section
of the country
over which he
traveled as the
representative
of a large firm
before deciding
to make his home
here. He was
married in
Corsicana to
Miss Stella
Martin, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs.
J. H. Martin.
The union was a
happy one and
one boy came to
bless it. He was
a genial
companion and
devoted to his
wife and son.
Those who came
in contact with
him socially
enjoyed his
companionship.
Those who had
business
dealings with
him were
impressed with
his honesty,
courtesy and his
knowledge of
business. We
cannot always
understand why
death sometimes
comes to these
who seem so well
fitted for
life�s duties
and whose home
and business
relations are so
happy and so
full of promise.
The taking of
this man in the
prime of life
and who had
advanced so far
upon a career of
usefulness is
not for the mind
of man to
fathom. In the
Great Beyond his
friends and
those who were
closest to him
and loved him
most will
understand.

LAID TO REST
Beautiful Floral
Offerings
Testify to
Popularity of
Deceased.
This afternoon
at 4:30 the
remains of Mr.
J. Frank Lumsden
were laid to
rest in Oakwood
with a large
attendance of
relatives and
friends who paid
their last
tribute to a
popular and good
man. The funeral
was from the
residence of the
deceased�s
father-in-law,
Mr. J. H.
Martin, Corner
Sixth Avenue and
Eighteenth
Street with Rev.
B. W. Vining
officiating both
at the house and
the grave.
Beautiful music
was furnished by
a quartet
composed of Mrs.
Henry Robbins,
Mrs. Harry
Williams, Mr. R.
D. Johnson, Mr.
Loyd Kerr.
An elaborate
collection of
handsome floral
offerings gave
silent but
elegant evidence
of the
popularity of
the deceased,
there being
offerings from
numerous friends
in the city and
from Houston,
Dallas, Oklahoma
City, Hartford,
Conn., and
Macon, Ga.,
Wharton and
Mexia, Texas.
Among the
especially
beautiful
offerings was a
beautiful design
from the
Magnolia
Petroleum
Company of
Dallas, of which
Mr. Lumsden was
an employee.
Seventy-two
employees of
this company
from the
department with
which Mr.
Lumsden was
connected also
sent a very
handsome design,
the names of
each being on
the card which
bore the
following: �With
the deepest
sympathy from
the following
employees of the
Magnolia
Petroleum Co.�
There were also
beautiful
designs from the
Chamber of
Commerce of
Corsicana, of
which
organization
decreased was a
useful and
active member,
and one from the
Daily Sun force,
while the entire
class and the
teacher of
little J. F.,
Jr. remembered
their playmate
with an offering
and card of
sympathy in the
loss of his
father. A list
of the out of
town attendants
at the funeral
was given in
yesterday�s
paper.
Notes:
---
Corsicana friends have deeply grieved with the
family of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Martin, the young
wife and little son, in their great sorrow that
came this week in the passing on of Mr. J. F.
Lumsden. For the wife, whose devotion to her
husband was so well known among friends, the
burden has fallen heavily, and the sincerest
sympathy goes out to her and to her manly young
son in the hour of their grief and distress. Mr.
Lumsden was a polished gentleman of courtly
manner, and while making his home in Corsicana
was very popular in business and social circles.
When he was laid to rest in
Oakwood cemetery
Friday afternoon, the floral offerings were
unusually handsome, many beautiful designs
coming from other towns and cities. Among those
from out of town who attended the funeral
services were Mr. E. D. Lumsden, a brother, from
Oklahoma City; Mr. Francis Forbes of Hartford,
Conn., a brother-in-law; Mrs. William Locke of
Houston, Mr. and Mrs. Roland Martin of Dallas,
Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Cook of Mexia, Mrs. D. W.
Cooley and Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Anderson of
Houston and Miss Lizzie Martin of Fort Worth.

Ora Leona
(Mills) Wilson-Smalling
Jan 9, 1887 -
Oct 19, 1918
An Appreciation
of Mrs. Ora
Smalling
Our sympathy
goes to Mr. Will
Smalling and
Mrs. Smalling�s
three children
in the home
going of their
devoted
companion and
mother. Deep
sorrow seized
our hearts when
all hope had
fled and news
came Monday
morning, October
20th, that our
friend and
neighbor had
departed this
world and we
know that her
own loved ones
feel their loss
and poverty in a
degree beyond
the power of
language to
express.
After faithfully
and lovingly
nursing her
children through
an attack of
influenza. Mrs.
Smalling
contracted the
disease,
followed by
pneumonia to
which she
succumbed after
a week of
intense
suffering.
Having lived
near Mrs.
Smalling for the
last few years
and been
confined in by
her, we feel
that we know her
real true and
inner life,
desires and
ambitions as
perhaps no one
else. Like the
rest of us she
had her trials,
difficulties and
obstacles to
overcome. She
also had her
ideals and
ambitions which
led her to fight
continuously
against her
difficulties and
strive for
higher and
better things.
Nor was her
truer nature
satisfied to be
simply negative,
but it found
expression and
manifested
itself in deeds
of kindness and
service to
others,
Unselfish and
untiringly she
guarded and
cared for the
interest of her
husband,
children and
home, longing
always that the
best might come
to them. No one
could be more
faithful in
their care of
the sick and
effort to bring
comfort to the
suffering and
distressed. As a
neighbor she was
always watchful
for an
opportunity to
do some kindly
deed and
whatever was the
kindness shown
to her she
sought an
occasion to
surpass it. A
more deeply
appreciative
nature is not to
be found. Every
act of kindness
toward her to
the moment of
her death
brought forth
from her lips
words of sincere
thanks and
appreciation.
Best of all, she
did not stop
with these noble
deeds and kindly
acts. She knew
the power of
sin, the
weakness of
human nature,
its inability to
overcome the
temptations of
the world, lift
men and women
into the higher
things of life
and restore them
to the image
from whence they
have fallen. She
committed her
way to them Him
who said �All
power is given
unto Me in
heaven and in
earth.� In Him
she met the last
enemy, which is
death with a
smile assured of
victory and the
abiding presence
of her Savior.
Every member of
her little
church would
assure her loved
ones of their
sincere sympathy
and prayers and
commend them to
this same Jesus
who shall save
his people from
their sins and
reunite them in
that world where
no separation
can ever come.
A NEIGHBOR.
