THE ROSE STILL GROWS BEYOND THE WALL
Near a shady a wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God�s free light
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and night.
As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall,
Thro� which there shone a beam of light.
Onward it crept, with added strength,
With never a thought of fear or of pride,
It followed the light through the crevice length
And unfolded itself on the other side.
The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before;
And it lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing its fragrance more and more.
Shall claim of death cause us to grieve,
And make our courage faint or fail ?
Nay ! let us faith and hope receive;
The rose still grows beyond the wall,
Scattering fragrance far and wide,
Just as it did in the days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will for evermore.
--A. L. FINK.
The above poem was read by request at the impressive funeral services held Thursday morning at 11 o'clock at the home of Mrs. W. W. Ballew, for her sister-in-law, Miss Belle Ballew of Dallas, which gave the theme for the beautiful and consoling words of the minister, Rev. Hugh Miller. Appropriate songs were sung by Miss Hattie Kenner, Mrs. Henry Robbins, Mr. Chris. L. Knox and Mr. Edgar Metcalf, after which the services were concluded at the cemetery where the remains were laid to rest under a canopy of gorgeous flowers sent by loving friends from Dallas as well as Corsicana.
Devoted friends sympathize deeply with her dear sister, Miss Maude Ballew and brother, Mr. H. C. Ballew in this hour of their great sorrow.
Sweetest memories will ever recur at the mention of the name of Miss Belle. Her life was one of unselfish service and love, and such a life will call unto itself the rarest, choicest reward. When we give back to heaven that which is so pure and good; heaven knowing what we have lost, will pour into the faithful, aching hearts her holiest, precious balm.
Out-of-town friends and relatives were Messrs. J. D. Frank and W. T. Henry, lawyers for whom Miss Ballew had worked for so many years; Mrs. Charles Weiland, Mr., George Weiland, and Mrs. H. S. Anderson of Dallas, Dr. J. M. Ballew of Memphis, Texas; Mmes. Will Brown, Will Carter and Allen Anderson of Richland, Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher Ballew of Trinidad and Mrs. Houston Gunlock of Fort Worth.

A Tribute to Miss Belle Ballew
Miss Belle was Central Texas Grocery Company�s first stenographer, having begun her work with us about April 1, 1900, and continuing in the service of the company for several years.
Miss Belle was very efficient and took a great deal of interest in her work. She was loved and respected by all the employees of the company. She was in the deepest sense a true Christian living her religion every day and making it felt by everyone with whom she came in contact. Our loss is her gain.

The death of this good woman. While not unexpected by her close friends and the only son, Norborne T. Champion, who has been so devoted to his mother during all her life and especially so since her failing health during the past few months, has cast a pall of gloom over a wide circle of friends of Mrs. Champion, who was known and loved for her many admirable traits of character and for her lovely Christian faith.
Mrs. Champion was born at Piedmont Springs, Grimes county, Texas, on November 13, 1858, the first daughter of Cooper S. and Anna Rebecca Taliaferro, pioneer residents of Texas and descendants of a long line of America�s best in citizenship. She was married to W. A. Champion at Crockett, Texas, January 20, 1889, and they moved to Corsicana in 1897, where she has resided since. Her husband preceded to the Great Beyond on July 24, 1919. Mrs. Champion was well educated and well versed in affairs of the day. She was a graduate of the Sam Houston State Normal College at Huntsville, being a member of the second graduating class of that institution.
Surviving her are Norborne T. Champion, only child, and a half-brother, Wayman T. Teliaferro, of Navasota.
Attesting in a measure to the love held by many for this good woman and also expressing sympathy and esteem for her son, who has been reared in Corsicana, a great number of beautiful flowers covered the last resting place of this good woman in Oakwood cemetery late today, where she was laid to rest beside her late husband following the impressive services at the home. A long cortege of friends followed the body to its last resting place and many were the tears that were shed over the grave of this true Christian woman, and words of deepest and sincerest sympathy were spoken for the son who has thus been bereft of his dearest earthly possession.
The Corsicana National Bank was closed during the death and burial of Mrs. Champion, Norborne Champion being an assistant cashier of this institution.

Edna Faye Adams
Mar 8, 1917 - Jun 29, 1927
Obituary.
The death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Adams at 1641 West Second Avenue, Corsicana, on the afternoon of June 29, 1927, and took from them their little daughter, Edna Fay. She was a patient little sufferer for several days and all was done that the kind doctors and nurses and loved ones could do, but God saw fit in His unmistakable wisdom to call her from this world of sin and sorrow to be with Him, where there is all peace and happiness and where she will never know pain any more. She is now safe in the arms of Jesus.
Edna Fay was born at Emhouse, on March 8, 1917. She was a dear sweet little girl and was loved dearly by all who knew her; she was a very bright intelligent child and will be greatly missed in her school and Sunday school and among all her friends and chums, and most of all in her home and, in her dear Grandmother Howell�s home. She stayed with her Grandmother Howell a great deal and she loved her more like one of her own children than just a grandchild.
But dear loved ones, weep not as those who have no hope, your little Edna Fay is not dead, but only asleep in Jesus and safe in Heaven gone to rest to live now with God, and all the loved ones gone before. She now awaits with beckoning hands for papa, mamma and sister and all the host of loved ones left behind to meet her there, where there is rest and eternal happiness. You can go to her but she can not come back to you. She is forever safe from this world of sin and sorrow. What a sweet thought to know how much better off she is than we.
She leaves a heart broken father mother and one little sister, Louise, in her family to mourn her loss, but dear little family you who are left behind, why not stop in the midst of your tears and heart aches and thank God for her sweet life, for the many joys and pleasures she brought to you, though it is true it was only ten short years and a few weeks over that she was permitted to remain here in this world with you, but her life was here upon this earth for that length of time for some great purpose, we know not why, just for such a short while, it seem to us, and indeed it was, but maybe to lead some one�s life closer to Him, who is an all wise God, who makes no mistakes in permitting these things to be. He saw fit to take her out of her many hours of sufferings, and out of this world of trouble.
She has gained all while you still remain for a while longer in this wicked old world. She has missed life�s, many many pitfalls of sin that await our dear children, and the young people of this world. It is those who are left behind, still to remain in this world who are not safe, Little Edna Fay is safe. What a great comfort this is to her loved ones, it was hard indeed to give her up, but God�s will must be done. Our God makes no mistakes, but doeth all things for the best. And let us pray for God to help us to be resigned to His Holy will.
Jesus wept while here upon this earth with the troubled and heart broken ones, because He was a loving sympathetic Savior. He did this to show how much He loved us and how much He did care when times like this would come to us here in this world. And that is why He taught us to lean wholly upon His strong arm of faith. He is the one who can heal the broken heart. He is the life and resurrection. Jesus loved little children and He called them to Him many times and blessed them. And how your sweet child is with this Jesus, the same loving Savior that was here upon this earth and lived and suffered too. He understands it all. He is our refuge and strength at all times in trouble, and He alone can help us most. We look to Him for comfort that no one else can give at a time like this.
God alone can help us most in all our heart broken sorrows in this life. What a blessed thought to have a friend like Jesus to ever look to and depend upon. And oh, how much we do, appreciate the kind friends here, the earthly friends, we have. And this was also shown at the death of Little Edna Fay, there were many, many loving sympathetic friends present at the funeral. The beautiful flowers were many that were brought by friends and loved ones, the beautiful little white casket being covered with them.
The funeral services for little Edna Fay were held at the family home on Thursday afternoon June 20, 1927, in Corsicana. The services were held by Bro. C. R. Meadows, Bro Edgar Parker, Bro. W. Z. Corbin and Bro. J. Howard Williams. The many words of comfort that these dear preachers of God�s word brought to this little heartbroken family and the loved ones present ever be remembered and appreciated.
She leaves a poor old Grandfather Adams who lives in Pennsylvania and who was unable to be at the funeral on account of his ill health. And oh, how much our hearts go out in sympathy to this poor old brokenhearted grandfather, that God will comfort and help him bear his grief.
Her little body was laid to rest in the Oakwood cemetery beside that of her grandfather, Bro. L. C. Howell, who was buried there, hardly two years ago. Now dear loved ones look beyond this vale of tears for Jesus will help you bear your sorrows. He has promised to put no more upon us than we are able to bear. Go to Jesus with it all. You can say---
�Our dear little loved one, she is gone.
Her little place is vacant in our home,
She is safe in heaven on Jesus� breast,
Dear papa and mama and Louise, you too, are welcomed at the golden gate.
Where your little Edna Fay will watch and wait.�
Written by a loving friend,
MRS. EDNA L. KEY

PASSING OF ANGUS CITIZEN CAUSE OF SORROW TO MANY
Funeral services for F. S. Starks who died at his home near Angus
Wednesday morning at 9:00, were held at the family home Thursday
afternoon at 1 o'clock by Rev. E. O. Williams of Corsicana, an old
friend of the deceased.
A long cortege of sorrowing relatives and friends followed the
remains to the
Hamilton cemetery where burial took place at 2:00 o'clock.
The deceased was a member of the Methodist church, a law abiding
citizen, a staunch friend and a loving and devoted husband and
father and leaves to mourn his passing a wife and 10 children, six
sons and four daughters and a vast number of friends throughout the
county and elsewhere. He had been a resident of Navarro county for
some 35 years or more, having lived in the Angus community for 18
years of this period, where he was a highly respected and dutiful
citizen.
Mr. Starks was born and reared in Tennessee, where three brothers
and a host of other relatives reside, coming to Texas in early
manhood, where he has since resided. The great loss that the
sorrowing family has suffered will be felt throughout, not only his
home community but Navarro county and elsewhere as well. A good
citizen, an unfailing friend, a devoted father has gone from the
walks of life to a greater life beyond.

A TRIBUTE TO MY DECEASED FATHER
By Julious Starks
Though my father to me now is but a memory�a vivid, lasting
memory�my love for him as a devoted son lives on undying, and shall
always be to me something to cherish, even until I, too, come to the
end of life�s pathway. No one, not even he, knew how great was my
love for him, and loving him as I did imagination cannot conceive
just how I miss him from day to day.
Only yesterday it seems, he closed his eyes and slipped away from
all temporal bonds, leaving us to mourn his going. Passed he from
the walks of mortal man so peacefully and seemingly so willing out
into that great Afterwhile, whence no soul returns. And beside the
death-bed I, who loved him so, stood and watched the flickering,
fluttering candle-beam of life growing dim and wondered what it
means to die.
How I miss him! Each day I think of him of yesterday and in the
stillness of the mystic night he comes to me in dreams. And cruel it
seems to awake and find it only a dream! How I love at even-tide to
stray once again down Memory�s Lane to Yesterday and live again in
golden recollection in the Days that Used to Be! I love to recall
with much pleasure all the things said and done by him, to him and
for him, for he did so love life in all its grandeur and beauty
inexpressible. How real he seems to me in memory! Each setting of
the sun at the close of day; each whisper of the winds of night-time
and each soothing moonbeam over the quieted hills and valleys about
me bring me visions of him and yesterday!
Each time I return to the old home I love so well I miss him more
than ever there and I find myself watching for his familiar face;
his cheerful greeting and each and everything about the old home so
familiar speak mutely of him. And then when night has dropped its
ebon robes over all the countryside and the world is hushed and
still I miss his pleasant face and voice and from the family circle
and I wait in vain�listening�and how it stabs to realize that he is
gone�gone beyond recall.
Yet he was not afraid to die. He was ready to meet God his creator,
face to face in that great Judgement Hall. His only regret in
passing from this life was leaving a loving and attentive wife and
devoted children all of whom had grown more dearer to him each day.
Ah, the great love he bore for his wife. Always his thoughts were of
her and his children and theirs of him. Loyal and true he was a
father and husband and a friend to all who gave to him their
friendship. Truly, he shall be missed as a devoted husband, a loving
father and a friendly neighbor.
Alone and unafraid he embarked upon the last journey whence no
traveler returns and the evening star beams in the west and guards
his sleep. The cool night winds sigh as they pass by and I wonder
where, beyond that gleaming beacon in the star-studded heavens, is
he who walked by my side and talked with me yesterday.
Though he is gone, his memory is cherished fondly.
�To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to
die.��Thos. Campbell.
(Written in memory of my father, F. S. Starks, who passed from this
life Feb. 2, 1927.)
