LAD ACCIDENTLY KILLED THURSDAY AT HOME OF PARENTS
SMALL RIFLE DISCHARGED AS HE STARTED OUT TO SHOOT BIRDS
W. C. Stanley, Jr., 13, son of Mrs. and Mrs. W. C. Stanley,
1208 Summit avenue, was instantly killed about 4:14 o'clock
Thursday, afternoon when a .22 rifle was accidently
discharged, the bullet striking the lad in the heart. The
funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon from the
family residence at 4 o'clock with interment in
Oakwood cemetery, conducted by Rev. E.
L. Liddell, Baptist minister.
The lad was alone at the time of the fatal accident and no
one saw him. It is thought that he slipped on the back
porch, while preparing to shoot some birds striking the gun
on the porch and causing it to be discharged. Neighbors
heard the report, but when he was reached, death had already
resulted. The porch was wet and it is thought that this
caused him to lose his footing.
The lad's father works for the Magnolia Company.
Surviving are his parents, two sisters, Mary Pearl and

Dec 11, 1876 - Apr 2, 1928
IN MEMORY OF T. C. BEASLEY
On Monday, April 2, 1928,
the death angel claimed the
spirit of T. C. Beasley, the
beloved husband of Mrs. Lida
Beasley. He had been sick
for some time and all was
done for him that loving
hands could do. Oh how hard
it was to give him up, but
God knew best and carried
him home to rest. While our
hearts are sad and lonely,
we know he is sweetly
resting in the arms of
Jesus. He was a member of
the Baptist church. We have
no doubt but that he is at
rest. If he had lived until
December he would have been
fifty-two years of age.
He was married to Miss Lida
Selman, Sept. 4, 1901. It
was so sad and
heart-rendering to stand by
the gray casket seeing the
brokenhearted wife and
children mourn over the one
that was so near and dear to
them. The loved ones have
the sympathy of this
community. God help them in
this sad hour.
He is survived by his wife,
ten children, three sisters,
four brothers and a host of
other relatives and friends.
His remains were laid to
rest in the Bazette
cemetery. Funeral services
were conducted by Rev.
Everhart of Kerens.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast,
There by his love o'er
shaded
Sweetly my soul shall rest.
And God shall wife away all
tears
From their eyes and there
shall be
No more death, neither
sorrow nor crying,
Neither shall there be any
more pain.
God in his wisdom has
recalled
The bloom his love had given
And though the body moulders
here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
"Tis hard to break the
tender cord,
Where love has bound the
heart,
"Tis hard, so hard to speak
the words,
We must forever part.
Yet again we hope to meet
thee,
When the day of life has
fled,
And in Heaven with joy to
greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are
shed.

PROMINENT BAZETTE RESIDENT
DIED THERE SATURDAY, JUNE 22
Friends and relatives were
grieved to learn of the
death of J. H. Wheeler, who
passed away on Saturday
morning, June 22nd at 8
o'clock, at his home in
Bazette, near Kerens.
Mr. Wheeler was born in
Missouri, Dec. 25, 1856;
came to Texas when a very
small boy. He married Mrs.
Katie Bryant Sanders in
Dallas county, Feb. 1, 1887.
Mr. Wheeler joined the
Methodist church when a
young boy and had been
active member and best of
Christian ever since. His
influence always counted for
the best. He was one of the
noblest of men.
Funeral services were held
at Bazette in the Methodist
church with Rev. C. G. Shutt
and Rev. Fisher officiating.
Burial was in the
Bazette cemetery.
He is survived by his dear
wife and nine children. Mr.
A. W. Wheeler of Oklahoma
City, Mrs. O. L.
Vanlandingham of Duncan,
Oklahoma, D. J. Wheeler of
Venus, Texas, G. M. Wheeler
of Rice, Mrs. W. T. Munn,
Mrs. T. M. Seely, Mrs. C. L.
Beauchamp and C. G.
Beauchamp all of Ennis, R.
W. Wheeler of Dallas, one
step-son, W. H. Sanders of
Hillsboro. A son, Jimmie C.
Wheeler formerly of Ennis
died five years ago. He also
had 35 grandchildren.
Mr. Wheeler had one of the
oldest family altars in the
country. All of his children
were raised up around it;
some of them saved in it. He
was a dear, kind father and
grandfather, a devoted
husband and true friend.
He was so patient through
his illness he would shout
and sing. He sang several
old songs while on his death
bed. About the last one was
"I'm Going Home," and the
greatest consolation that we
friends and loved ones have,
is to know that he has gone
home and is now at rest.

Edell Cowart
Jan 30, 1928 - May 11, 1928
IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF LITTLE EDELL COWART.
On Friday evening, May 11, 1928, at 8:30 o'clock, the Death
Angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Cowart and took
their darling little son, Edell, to heaven. He was three
months and eleven days old. His little remains were laid to
rest in the Eads cemetery May 12. Everything that kind
loving friends and loving hands could do to save his
precious life were to no avail. He was called and paid the
debt we all must pay.
Let us not weep, dear parents and loved ones, for Edell is
only sleeping and waiting for the resurrection. We only
think of him as a bright flower who was allowed to shed its
brightness for just a little while in this world of sorrow
and then be taken away to shine forever as a bright star in
the great beyond.
If we could be remembered as we remember precious little
Edell this world would be a more pleasant place to live.
It seems hard to see one die so young, but when we consider
life with its many trials, we should think that he has
missed all the sorrow for we know he has committed no sin
and is now waiting to be resurrected in perfection. Let his
memory be a magnet to attract us heavenward. We know that we
should not weep for he is at rest and yet the love in our
hearts brings forth sorrows and we are bowed with grief, but
dear ones, let us look ahead and so - (the rest is a poem and
it blurred)

IN MEMORY OF J. T. McKEOWN
Our happy homes were o'ershadowed
The twenty-fourth day of June
We knew we had to give him up
But weren't expecting it so soon.
They say he is not dead
But only gone before
Into another room in our father's
House to rest for evermore.
They say that he is happier, too,
In that bright new home above
Where there is no pain or sorrow,
But always light and love.
The journey of life is over
And where joys will never cease.
He is free from pain and sorrow,
But always light and love.
To us he was the sweetest father
The world has ever known,
For several years he blessed this earth
Until our Father called him home.
As he is well and glad
In that far upper room,
We would not wish him back,
But hope to meet him soon.
And will be brave and wait
And try to understand,
But Oh ! How we miss him so
Since he has joined the angel band.
Thou, no more, shall join our number,
Thou no more, our songs shall know
Yet we hope to meet thee when the days of life hath fled,
And in heaven we hope to greet thee, where no farewell tears are
shed.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. MATTIE
EDGAR.
Mrs. Mattie Edgar passed
away at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. L. H.
Stewart of Angus,
Saturday morning at 8:30
o'clock, Dec. 1, 1929,
and was laid to rest in
the
Hamilton cemetery
Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock. The funeral was
conducted by Rev. M. M.
Smith, Methodist
preacher from Waco. She
was 83 years and 10
months old, native of
Mississippi, but
resident of the Angus
community for a long
time.
Besides one daughter,
she is survived by 15
grandchildren and 20
great grandchildren and
other relatives.
Grandmother Edgar, as
she was known to so many
of her friends and
relatives, will be
remembered for her
happy, cheerful
disposition. She would
always greet everyone
with a smile; she was a
good, Christian woman,
and was ready and
willing to meet her
Master when He said
"come." It is indeed
hard to give up this
dear one, but we know
she is at rest, that she
has found everlasting
joy and peace in that
home prepared for those
who love and serve the
Lord.
We will ask this
heart-broken circle to
read the comforting
words of Scripture found
in John 1:1-2 and 8, and
not grieve for her, for
God in His goodness saw
fit to call her to a
better home than this
world could give.
A dear one from us has
gone,
Our home is not the
same.
Our hearts are burdened
with grief today
While silently we
breathe her name.
We are not to question
God's holy will,
And the wisdom of His
way,
We find it hard to
understand
Just why God took her
away.
God so loved His
children here below
That a precious prize he
gave,
So Jesus came and died
for us,
And won a victory over
death and the grave.
Oh, blessed thought that
Jesus came,
And bore the cross to
Calvary's hill,
And shed His blood our
souls to save,
If we obey and do His
will.
"Tis hard to bid a last
good-bye
To one whose love has
brightened our way,
We must be courageous,
hopeful and glad,
For we shall meet her
again some day.
We should not grieve for
this dear one.
Who has heard and
answered the Master's
word;
Well done, my good and
faithful one.
Enter thou into the joys
of the Lord.
Through all pain at
times she'd smile.
A smile of Heavenly
birth.
And when the angels
called her home,
She smiled farewell to
earth.
Heaven retaineth now our
treasure
Earth the lonely casket
keeps,
And the sunbeams love to
linger
Where our sainted mother
sleeps.
We have lost our darling
mother,
She has bid us all adieu
She has gone to live in
Heaven
And her form is lost to
view.
Oh, how hard to give her
up !
But an angel came down
for her
And removed her from our
flock.
From one who loved her.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
We, your committee on resolutions, beg to submit the following:
The subject of this sketch, Howard Marsh, was born Sep. 22, 1869. Was married to Miss Cora Boyd, Nov. 29, 1894. There were born to this union eight children, six of them survive: Ira, Boyd, Pete and Robert, sons: Misses Ella Drane and Mable, daughters.
Mr. Marsh spent almost his entire life in the Navarro community. He was a kind father, devoted husband, a dutiful son and loyal brother, a consistent friend and a substantial citizen.
He joined the Hopewell Baptist church some years ago and lived a member of this church until his death, June 18, 1929.
Mr. Marsh was a unique character. He loved his family tenderly, and labored faithfully to supply their needs, satisfied with nothing short of the best for those whom he loved. His entire mature life was spent in serving the objects of his
affection.
His health gave way several months before his death, making him a constant sufferer so long, yet he bore it with cheerfulness and fortitude, remaining conscious and considerate of others until the last.
Therefore be it resolved that the community has lost a substantial citizen, the home a devoted husband and father, the church a consistent member.
Be it further resolved that the Hopewell Baptist church extend sympathy to the bereaved in his home going. That a copy of these resolutions be spread on the church records and published in Baptist Progress and Corsicana Light.
His remains were laid to rest in
Hopewell cemetery.
Funeral services were conducted from the church by Eld. W. T. Bratton, Forney, Texas, his former pastor.
Respectfully submitted,
MRS. OLIVER FORBES,
R. S. THOMPSON,
