William
(Willie) Hollis Winters began his journey in life on March
30, 1930 in Fort Worth. He passed from this life on
Saturday, Dec. 19, 2015 in Corsicana at the age of 85. He
was the second child born to Joe and Hester Winters in Ft.
Worth, Texas.
Willie attended school at John T. White in Handley finishing
high school in Keller as valedictorian of his class. While
growing up he worked on a dairy with his older brother Joe
and younger sister Shirley. He established a strong work
ethic early in life milking cows before and after school.
After high school Willie had several jobs, working for a
Humble Oil Co gasoline distributor in Fort Worth, driving a
taxi at night and also cleaning office buildings.
He married Connie Jean Tidwell in 1948. His career in the
petroleum business began when he took a job for Humble Oil
and Refining in Tyler. He worked in Tyler, Marshall,
Mt. Pleasant, Texarkana and back in Tyler. In 1963 the

moved to Corsicana to take over the operation located on E.
Fifth Ave. and later on North Highway 75. In 1971
Willie became the first Shell Oil Co Jobber in Corsicana
owning and operating the operation until he retired in 2002
with over 50 years of service.
Willie was a splendid man, of great intellect and character.
The character of the life he lived was sincere, earnest,
loyal, industrious and self-sacrificing. He loved to be with
his family, getting together for a great meal and good time.
One could not be around Willie without having a good time.

Christ for over 50 years. He was a loving husband to his
wife Connie and an affectionate father, grandfather and
great grandfather, going to great effort to insure his
children and grandchildren's success and well-being. Willie
combined with his charm, unlimited energy, genial

always remembered. It was truly a privilege to know him. To
all of us he was an ideal. The example he set will long

Emma Hudson
(Davis) Townsend
May 23, 1852 -
Mar 27, 1948
OUTSTANDING
LOCAL LEADER, MRS. EMMA H. TOWNSEND, DIES
NEARLY CENTURY OF COMMUNITY SERVICE ENDS; RITES MONDAY
Mrs. Emma H. Townsend was buried in
Oakwood cemetery
Monday morning after almost a century spent in doing good
and working for the interest and betterment of those around
her and in her community and state.
She died last Saturday night a few days after a hip was
fractured in a fall at her home, corner of West Seventh
Avenue and South Fifteenth street.
The rites were held from the McCammon Chapel Monday morning
at 11 o'clock with the Rev. Erwin F. Bohmfalk, pastor of the
First Methodist church, of which she was a long-time member,
in charge.
Native of Georgia.
Born March 28, 1852, in Cartersville, Ga., Mrs. Townsend
reached her ninety-sixth birthday last Tuesday, but did not
realize attaining this milepost of life as she was in a
coma.
Probably no one in Corsicana had led a more active life or
is better known than Mrs. Townsend. She came to Waco in 1870
as Miss Emma Davis to become the bride of the late Capt. J.
A. Townsend, a school master. Two years later the Townsends
moved to Corsicana in 1872 and spent the remainder of their
lives as teachers and workers for the better things in the
social, educational, religious and civic circles of their
adopted city.
Private School.
The young school master was materially aided by his
cultured, well-read and abundantly energetic young wife.
They established a private school here and ten years later
her husband was made principal of Corsicanan's first
independent school. Mrs. Townsend continued her work with
the private school.
The clear cut images of Confederate veterans in the War
Between the States, along with the vivid reflection of
witnessing the solid masses of Union soldiers marching past
her home in Georgia and the terrors of Sherman's march to
the sea caused Mrs. Townsend to establish the Corsicana
chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
First Kindergarten
Organizing the first kindergarten in Corsicana in 1898, Mrs.
Townsend employed child psychology in all her dealings with
children and youth when this practice was unheard of in the
average school.
Her activities were in the fore-front in the interest of
club women of Corsicana. She was always a leader for
organized women, working diligently in the drive to secure
votes for them and, in her own community, to establish an
organized group of women's clubs. Many credit her with the
inspiration for the outstanding clubs in Corsicana today.
Made Lecture Tour
Not confining her teaching and leadership to Corsicana, Mrs.
Townsend participated in numerous lecture tours over much of
the nation. She lectured at the Monteagle Assembly in New
York, in Cleveland, in Chicago, the Ward Seminiary in
Nashville, at Bryn Mawr, and before the International
Congress in Washington, D. C.
Health and teaching of health was the ideal that
overshadowed all her activities.
At the age when most people were reminiscing and being
content to take things easy, Mrs. Townsend continued to plan
for the future. She had plans for advancing her theories for
health and kept abreast of the changing times by reading the
current, new and prophetic books, attending the movies,
reading plays, etc.

Surviving are a son, Wilmot Townsend, Corsicana; a daughter,
Mrs. Ella Townsend, Wattersboro, S. C.; five grandchildren
and other relatives.
Pallbearers were A. G. Elliott, Allyn Lang, N. C. Goodman,

In Memory.
Death came to our community again and claimed Mrs. Ella Warfield who
had been a sufferer for some time.
Everything that could be, was done to restore her health.
She had been a member of the Methodist church here for a number of
years, having lived in this (Tupelo) community a long time. We all
loved Mrs. Warfield as friend and neighbor, for she was always ready
to help in time of need forgetting self in her eagerness to help in
any good cause for the community, and waiting on the sick.
She was a member of class No. One in Sunday school and attended when
she was able. Her testimony during her last days of illness rang
clear with true faith and victory in the Cross of Christ.
Besides a devoted husband she left seven sons and one daughter,
other relatives and friends to mourn her departure.
In the last hours she called all present to her bed, talked to them,
asking them to meet her in heaven and not to grieve for her as she
would be better off.
Funeral services were conducted at the home by her pastor, Brother
Kimbrow and her body was laid to rest in the

In Memoriam.
In loving memory
of Mr. D. T.
McMyllan.
In the still
hours of the
early morning of
June 12, 1918,
the Angel of
Death, in mercy,
snapped the
slender cord of
Life and
released from
its tenement of
clay the noble
soul of D/ T.
McMullan, and
bore it to the
Beautiful
Beyond; where
three pairs of
baby arms
stretched out in
welcome.
At 5 p.m. a
large crowd of
sorrowing and
sympathizing
friends and
relatives
followed his
remains to the
church at
Tupelo, where it
rested amidst a
wreath of
beautiful
flowers while
Br. Kimbro spoke
in eloquent
terms of the
life and
character of one
whose best
friends are
those who have
known him
longest. He was
then laid to
rest in the
cemetery at
Chatfield.
For nearly two
years he had
borne such
suffering as few
mortals ever
know with
patience and
fortitude and
with a
submission
benign.
If loving,
devoted, tender
care could have
stayed the Still
Reaper he would
be with us yet,
but no, and we
bow in grief to
the Master's
will. He was
born in Macon
County, Georgia,
February 6,
1848. On October
16, 1872, he was
married to Miss
Lizzie Hervey at
Chatfield. So a
long life has
been spent in
our community.
His clear
judgment, sense
of justice to
all, honesty of
purpose and
integrity have
had its
influence on all
who knew him. He
will be missed.
His wife and
eight children,
all grown, are
left to mourn
their loss. Let
us follow his
principles and
so live that we
may all be
reunited where
there will be
"no more
good-byes."

Notes:
----
In Memory of Sister Ellen Tarkington.
On October 1st, 1919, the spirit of Sister Tarkington took flight
and returned to God, who gave it.
Sister Tarkington was born September 29, 1853. She professed a hope
in Christ at the early age of 16 years and joined the Second Baptist
Church of Corsicana, Texas, in 1915, and was a faithful member until
her death. But while she regretted leaving those so near to her
heart in life, she was not afraid to meet death, because her hope in
her Savior was bright and joyous.
She leaves three sons and three daughters, and several grandchildren
and relatives, and a host of friends to mourn her loss. We are
taught in God's word that precious in the sight of the Lord is the
death of His Saints, and that all things work together for good to
them that love God. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Weep
not, dear sorrowing ones, but rejoice in the resurrection when we
all shall be united with Jesus, our blessed Redeemer, who was the
first fruits in the resurrection of them that sleep.

COMMITTEE.

Mrs. Taylor has been in ill health for some time, but had borne her sufferings patiently and with a fortitude that was remarkable in one of her years. She was a devoted Christian woman and her love for her husband, her children and her home was her guiding star in life. The profound sympathy of a large circle of friends go out to the heartbroken husband and little children in their great loss.
A great profusion of beautiful flowers sent by friends and relatives attested in a slight degree to the love and esteem in which this good woman was held by those who knew her best, and had had occasion to mingle with her in life.

FUNERAL SERVICES MONDAY MORNING FOR HUBERT W. TAYLOR
LITTLE BOY HAD BEEN SERIOUSLY ILL IN HOSPITAL FIVE WEEKS
Funeral services for Hubert Wilson Taylor, eight-year-old son of Wm.
M. Taylor, who died Sunday morning at 10 o'clock at the Navarro
County Hospital following a five weeks' illness after a series of
operations, were held Monday morning at 1o o'clock from the
residence of his father, 625 South Sixteenth street.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. Howard Williams,
pastor of the First Baptist church with interment in
Oakwood Cemetery.
Pallbearers were: Jess R. Howell, J. S. Millerman, H. R. McCandless,
Tom R. Womack, Hood Cheney, J. J. Newton.
Deceased is survived by his father, three brothers, and one sister,
his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Taylor and numerous other
relatives. He was stricken with an attack of appendicitis five weeks
ago and taken to the Navarro County Hospital and operated upon. His
condition was most serious from the first and two other operations
were finally found necessary. He was unable to rally from the
operations and the effects of the disease and after making a fight
that excited the admiration and respect of physicians and nurses at
the hospital he finally succumbed Sunday morning after five weeks of
illness, during which time he suffered severely but without
complaining.
Through all these weeks of illness his little playmates and
schoolmates have constantly inquired about his condition and hoped
for encouraging news from his bedside. The little boy's mother
passed away less than a year ago and the little fellow was the
especial pet of the household; and his death has cast a pall of
sadness over his home and over the hearts of his little friends who
loved him so dearly for his many manly and commendable traits of
character that made him a favorite with all, and a canopy of
beautiful flowers covered the grave of the little fellow when he was
laid to rest in Oakwood.

Eugene Terry, 23, Is Lion Victim At Reynosa Club
REYNOSA, Mexico, Nov. 9�(AP)�Eugene Terry, 23, of Corsicana and San
Juan, Texas, was killed here about 1:30 a.m. today by a pet African
lion.
The slaying occurred in Joe's Place, a Reynosa night club. The
owner, Joe Ortega, some years ago acquired two African lions as cubs
when a circus disbanded.
The lion was in a concrete and iron barred cage in the club's patio.
Apparently Terry opened the cage door and went in to pet the lion.
Two friends missed Terry and found him mauled.
Terry has been residing at San Juan, about five miles east of
McAllen, Texas.
The body will be returned to Corsicana, where his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. C. L. Terry, live. He is also survived by a brother, Dr. Joe,
Terry, Dallas.
McCammon Funeral Home will return Terry's body here early Friday
morning Funeral arrangements were incomplete here early Thursday
afternoon.

Funeral Services For Eugene Terry Saturday 10:30
Funeral services for Eugene G. Terry, 23, Corsicana native, now
resident of San Juan, killed by and African lion in Reynosa, Mexico,
early Thursday, will be held from the McCammon Chapel Saturday at
10:30 a.m. Burial will be in
Oakwood cemetery.
The rites will be conducted by Dr. Matthew H. Arnold, pastor of the
Westminister Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. Hubert Smith of
Waxahachie.
Victim of Lion
Terry was fatally injured about 1:30 Thursday by the pet lion who
once before had clawed him on the back.
According to the Associated Press and other news dispatches, Terry
and two friends�Mickey Whilley of McAllen and George Cameron of
Edinburg�had gone to Joe Ortega's night spot at Reynosa and Terry,
after securing a flashlight, entered the concrete and iron barred
cage at the rear of the establishment to "pet the cats."
Cameron in a statement carried by the Associated Press as being made
to an assistant district attorney in Edinburg, said the lion batted
Terry down, then began dragging him into the den. He said Ortega
(owner of the club) went into the cage, broke a glass and chair over
the lion's head, but failed to make her turn loose of Terry. He said
"somebody" later shot the lion.
Ortega is quoted in an interview as having warned Terry about
staying out of the cage and mentioned the previous clawing of the
victim. The night club owner said after Terry was gotten out of the
cage, an attempt was made to take him to McAllen, but the Mexican
officers at the border wouldn't allow them to cross the
international boundary so he was taken to a Red Cross station at
Reynosa. Ortega said that Terry probably was dead before getting to
the Red Cross station.
Consul Investigates
Edward Benet, U. S. Consul, said he believed Terry died from a large
gash on the head, received when the lion knocked him to the floor.
The Associated Press q1uoted a U. S. official as supporting the
position taken by Mexican officers at the bridge in refusing the
party permission to cross, "I don't blame them for stopping them.
Our men would have done the same thing if somebody tried to rush a
man all bloody out of our country."
Ortega, a friend of Terry, said that the young man had accompanied
him to Mexico City on a trip once and spoke of a request, Terry had
made for the club.
The night club owner was taken into custody following the incident
but was released.
Consul Benet cleared the body through U. S. and Mexican customs and
immigration stations early Thursday morning and it was taken to
McAllen from which point it was brought to Corsicana, arriving early
Friday morning.
Surviving are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Terry, Corsicana;
and brother, Dr. Joe Terry, Dallas, and other relatives.
Pallbearers will be Ben W. McKie, Jr.; John B. Goins, John F.
Taylor, Thomas George, 111; Robert Lang, Wm. H. Register, Johnny
Henry and Dr. Wm. T. Newton.
