Funeral
services for
Mrs. Sarah
Alice
Leonard,
aged 79
years, who
died Sunday
morning at
9:30 at the
home of Mr.
and Mrs.
George
Leonard, 421
West Collin
street, were
conducted
Monday
afternoon at
4 o'clock
from the
First
Baptist
church, of
which
denomination
the deceased
had been a
member for
over thirty
years. The
Rev. J.
Howard
Williams,
pastor of
the church
was in
charge of
the services
and burial
was in
Oakwood
cemetery.
Music for
the funeral
was rendered
by the choir
of the First
Baptist
church under
the
direction of
Paul B.
Harper.
Mrs. Leonard
is survived
by the
following
children:
George
Leonard,
Corsicana:
George
Leonard,
Corsicana;
Ed Leonard,
Amarillo;
Mrs. L.
Freeman,
Proctor,
Minn.; Mrs.
D. A.
Lumley, San

Mrs. Will
Johnson,
Powell; A.
B. White,
Eldorado,
Texas; one
sister, Mrs.
J. T.
Goodwin,
Dallas, and
a number of
grandchildren
and
great-grandchildren.
Pallbearers
were Chas.

Albert B.
Horn, N. C.
Goodman,
Norborne
Champion, J.
Y. Roberts,
C. A.
Middleton,
J. I, Tucker
and L. A.
Wortham.
Mrs. Leonard
was born in
Pontatoc,
Miss., May
18, 1847,
moving from
that State
to Tennessee
from which
state at the
age of
eleven, she
with her
parents,
came to
Texas,
settling in
Navarro
county near
the present
town of
Cheneyboro
and was
married to
G. F.
Leonard,(now
deceased)
Dec. 20,
1874. Later
the couple
moved to
Corsicana
where they
made their
home for
many years.
In the
passing of
Mrs. Leonard
another
pioneer
resident of
Corsicana
and Navarro
county has
gone to her
reward. The
loss of a
mother and
grandmother
has saddened
the homes of
the children
and the
church has
lost a
staunch
member. It
was through
the
fortitude
and strength
of character
of women
like Mrs.
Leonard,
coupled with
that pioneer
spirit and
Christian
motherhood
that this
great empire
was built
and a sturdy
race has
sprung.
Their place
cannot be
filled but
the memory
of their
works will
live through
the ages and
their
influence
will be felt
by other
generations
in the years
to come.
Their
accomplishments
will be an
inspiration
for the
continuation
of a great
and
Christian
race of men
and women
who will
continue the
work started
when they
braved the
gangers and
hardships of
settling a
new and
unknown
country.
Mrs. Leonard
had many
friends
throughout
the city and
county, all
of whom were
genuinely
grieved to
learn of her
death and
all will
join in
expressing
sincere
sympathy to
the family
in the loss
of their
mother.
The remains
of this good
woman were
followed to
their final
resting
place in
Oakwood
cemetery
by a large
concourse of
sorrowing
friends who
had known
and loved
her in life,
and the
grave was
hidden
beneath a
profusion of
floral
offerings
that spoke
silently but
eloquently
of the high
esteem in
which she
was held.

one brother.
The father
from Tulsa,
Ok., and
sister from
Tulsa and
one from
Fort Worth
arrived in
Corsicana,
and one
sister and
one brother
are expected
to arrive
here from
Missouri
Tuesday
morning.
Edmonds had
been living
in this
section for
the past
three years,
coming to
the local
oil fields
from Mexia,
where he
worked
during the
oil boom
before the
Corsicana
field was
opened. The
family lived
in the oil
fields.
Consumed in
the fire
were several
1,000barrel
oil tanks,
one 500
barrel tank
and one
1,500 barrel
tank. The
flames could
be seen from
Corsicana
and for
quite a
distance in
all sections
of the oil
fields. No
other person
was injured,
as Edmonds
was working
alone at the
time of the
accident. It
is thought
he was
standing on
the tank
that caught
first and
was
attempting
to put out
the fire
when the
accumulated
gas from
within
exploded,
throwing him
high into
the air. The
body
evidently
dropped back
into the
flames,
where It
burned
almost
beyond
recognition
before being
brought from
the burning
ruins
several
hours later.

MRS. W. A.
CHESTNUTT
SUCCUMBS TO
ILLNESS - FUNERAL
TUESDAY
Mrs. W. A.
Chestnutt,
aged 68
years,
passed away
in Dallas
Sunday night
about 11
o'clock,
where she
was with her
daughter,
Mrs. Frank
Cullinan,
after an
illness of
several
weeks. The
remains
arrived in
Corsicana
Monday
afternoon at
3:45 o'clock
and were
taken to her
late home,
1430 West
Second
avenue, from
whence the
funeral will
take place
Tuesday
afternoon at
3 o'clock,
with the
Rev. Ilion
T. Jones,
pastor of
the Third
avenue
Presbyterian
church, of
which
deceased had
been a
life-long
member
officiating.
Burial will
be
immediately
afterward in
Oakwood
cemetery.
Mrs.
Chestnutt is
survived by
her husband
and two
children,
Mrs. Frank
Cullinan of
Dallas, and
J. Ward
Chestnutt of
Wichita
Falls. She
is also
survived by
a brother,
M. L. Barry
of Del Rio
and a sister
Mrs. Dood
Roseborough
of Marshall.
Mrs.
Chestnutt
was formerly
Miss Rachael
Barry, the
daughter of
an old and
aristocratic
Southern
family, and
has lived in
Navarro
county and
Corsicana
for many
years. She
was born
near
Tehuacana
Hills, and
removed with
her parents
to the Old
Dresden
community
when but a
small child.
After her
marriage she
removed to
Corsicana
and has
resided here
for many
years, where
she was
known and
loved by a
large circle
of friends.
Since early
life she has
been a
member of
the
Presbyterian
church, for
many years
of that time
being a
member of
the Third
Avenue
Presbyterian
Church of
Corsicana.
She was a
good woman
and many
have been
the
expressions
of sincere
sorrow and
deep regret
of her
passing
away. She
was not
ostentatious
in her good
works, but
went quietly
about doing
good
wherever she
found that
her services
would be of
benefit to
her
fellow-beings.
Her closest
friends did
not know the
extent of
her
ministrations
to less
fortunate in
this world,
and since
her passing
her good
works are
becoming
known to a
large extent
by those
whom she had
befriended
and succored
during the
hour of
trial or
need coming
forward and
making many
of her good
deeds known.
Truly she
was a Mother
in Israel
and there
will not be
found soon
one who can
effectively
fill the
place
vacated by
her in her
church and
community
life, while
the bereaved
husband,
daughter and
son are
heartbroken
at the
passing of
their loved
one, and the
sympathy of
the entire
community
goes out to
them at this
sad hour.

Notes:

In Society
Mrs. S. C. Bagby, Editor.
Mrs. W. A. Chestnut.
The passing of Mrs. W. A. Chestnut on Sunday night at 11 o'clock in St. Paul's Sanitarium, Dallas, where she had been ill for some time, removes one of Corsicana's most beloved and useful women. Though she will not be with us again her beautiful spirit will radiate throughout the ages. She will be remembered, not only by her winsome personality but by her many acts of kindness and gentleness to all mankind
- young, old, of high or low degree.
The sympathy of friends everywhere goes out to her devoted husband, to her beloved daughter, Mrs. Frank Cullinan and family of Dallas and son, Jerry Ward Chestnut and wife of Wichita Falls.
Sweetest memories will ever recur at the mention of the name of Mrs. Chestnut. Her life on earth will call for the rarest, richest reward heaven can bestow.
The throng of mourning friends and loved ones who attended the funeral from the home this afternoon at 3 o'clock, and the beautiful canopy of flowers under which she now rests in Oakwood attest the great love and esteem in which she was held.
A most beautiful and impressive service was said by her pastor, Rev. Ilion T. Jones of the Third Avenue Presbyterian church, and the singers, Ms. P. C. Townsend, Mrs. H. J. Robbins and Messrs. C. L. Knox and Edgar Metcalf, bespoke their hearts in the beautiful songs sung.
Besides her children, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cullinan and Mr. and Mrs. Jerry W. Chestnut of Wichita Falls, quite a number of Dallas relatives and friends attended the funeral as follows: Mr. Charles Barry, a nephew and wife; Mrs. T. W. Varnell, a niece, and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Proctor, Mrs. Fred Jones and Mrs. M. T. Lively.
