old negro. The negro is reported to have stopped and engaged in a
quarrel with the youths and the boys threw rocks at the negro�s car.
The negro drove off. The automobile occupied by the white boys then
was gotten out of the ditch and proceeded down the street and was
stopped near a light. The motor of the car driven by Allison was
running and Allison was sitting at the wheel with his foot on the
clutch and the car in gear when the negro drove alongside the car
and fired, the bullet killing Allison and wounding Wofford in the
arm.
Killed Instantly.
When Allison was shot, his foot slipped from the clutch of the car
as the negro drove away hurriedly and the car in which Allison was
sitting crashed into the curb across the street. As soon as the
companions reached the car, the Corsicana youth had slumped over in
the seat and apparently had been killed instantly. He was rushed to
a hospital.
The negro was arrested Saturday morning, and made a statement to
Austin officers, admitting he fired the shot that killed Allison. A
formal complaint was filed for murder against the negro and the
Travis grand jury, which adjourned several days ago, is scheduled to
be recalled Monday to investigate the incidents surrounding the
tragedy. The negro is reported to have claimed that the youths threw
rocks at him before and after the shooting of Allison.

Sept 26, 1924 - Dec 26, 2017
 Euna
Faye Sirman, 93 of Corsicana, passed from this life
peacefully Tuesday, Dec. 26, 2017 in Corsicana.
Faye was born in Wortham to Faye Craig Price and Robert
James Price on Sept. 26, 1924. She attended school in
Wortham and graduated from Wortham High School and later
married the love of her life, John Manton Sirman. Prior to
her retirement, she worked in book keeping at State National
Bank and Corsicana National Bank. She was a devoted member
of Northside Baptist Church.
Nanny, as she was known by many that loved her, adored her
family; she cherished time spent with her daughter,
grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Faye was an avid
sports fan - she loved her Corsicana Tigers, her Navarro
College Bulldogs, her Texas Rangers, and her Dallas Cowboys.
She had a passion for shopping and going to Branson,
Missouri with her daughter, Cindy. Faye looked forward to
the holidays when she would enjoy baking pies and making her
famous homemade fudge, she would enjoy some and would give
the rest away, that's what she loved to do.
Faye was preceded in death by her loving husband of 47
years, John Manton Sirman.
Left to cherish her memory are her daughter and son-in-law
Cindy and Bill Griggs of Kerens; grandson John Griggs and
wife Traycie of Powell; grandson Jake Griggs and wife Danika
of Corsicana; great grandchildren Andi Faye Griggs, John
Manton Griggs, and Darby Brooke Griggs and soon to be great
grandchild number four, sister Billie Sirman of Tyler, along
with numerous nieces and nephews, and Prissy number two, her
cat that she loved so dearly.
Faye's great granddaughter, Andi Faye Griggs, is honored and
excited to take responsibility of taking care and loving
Prissy just as Nanny did. The family is comforted in knowing
that Nanny is reunited with Papa in Heaven. As Andi Faye
Griggs says with joy she is with Jesus now.
Visitation with the family will be held from 6 to 8 p.m.
Thursday, Dec. 28, 2017 at Griffin-Roughton Funeral Home in
Corsicana.
Funeral services to celebrate Faye's life will be held at 1

Albert Neyfeldt, 77, of Streetman, passed away Dec. 7, 2017
after a long struggle with COPD at Navarro Hospital,
Corsicana.
Tom was born in Berwyn, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, on
June 6, 1940. He was preceded in death by his parents
Chester and Joelenta Neyfeldt and brother Jerry Neyfeldt,
all of Chicago, Illinois.
Tom is survived by his wife, Lelia Allmon Neyfeldt, of 56
years, his son, Christopher Thomas Neyfeldt and Amy Hane of
Topeka, Kansas, his twin grandsons Alexander Neyfeldt of
Houston and Christopher Jr. Neyfeldt of Rosenberg,
granddaughter, Sarah Jean Neyfeldt of Rosenberg, and niece
Melissa Neyfeldt of Chicago, Illinois; Neyfeldt cousins and
their families Carol Neyfeldt Benak, Jim Neyfeldt, Carter
Waters, Linda Drabek, Dorothy Schiffman, and Carol Chervanak.
Tom considered his brother-in-laws and their wives his own
kin, Leonard and Jean Allmon and Jon and Ingrid Allmon; Aunt
Shirley Allmon of Columbus, Texas, Lisa Allmon Brown, Corky
Brown and their daughter, Emma of Georgetown, Texas; his
nieces and nephews, Stacey Allmon Simpson and Chris Simpson,
Leonard Allmon III and Carol Levins, Lori Allmon Johnson,
Michael Allmon, and all their children. The Allmon cousins
and their families: Judy Blackwell Braddock, Sandy Allmon
Thompson, Patty Allmon Gray, Sharla Allmon Vrzalik, Greg
Carlson, Tom Carlson, and Susan Sloan.
He had true friends, those who became the family of his
heart, best and dearest friends. Thank you for being there
for him.
Tom attended Immaculate Heart of Mary in Chicago,
kindergarten through grammar school and graduated from St.
Patrick's High School's very first graduating class in 1958.
He studied Electrical and Automotive Engineering at the
Illinois Institute of Technology, and began his career as an
Engineer at Sun Electric in Chicago where he met his wife.
They married in 1962 at Immaculate Heart of Mary. Their son,
Chris, was born in 1963. They remained living in Chicago and
then Arlington Hts. (suburb) for 15 years, then moved to
Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania, (near Harrisburg) where Tom
worked for Roger Penske, traveling abroad on various
engineering projects, as well as all over North America.
While still in Illinois Tom had bought his first sail boat
and learned to sail on Lake Michigan, he graduated to a
bigger sailboat and moved it with the family to Pennsylvania
- the boat was moored at Middle River, Md. and most weekends
were spent sailing Chesapeake Bay. The family home was
situated on South Mountain just above the Cumberland Valley,
a short distance to D.C., Virginia, Maryland, Gettysburg,
NYC, Boston - depending on which direction they headed. In
1993, the family moved to Texas, back to where his wife was
born and raised, Corsicana, and settled in Streetman. He
loved being in Texas, he loved the space and all the
animals, and had lots of mentors who helped him to learn
"the ropes." Tom continued working and traveling until he
retired at the age of 65. COPD made its appearance about
five years later. He had given up smoking 35 years before
Dec. 7, 2017. It was his longest journey.
Viewing at Griffin-Roughton Funeral Home will be held from 4
to 6 p.m. with a rosary at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 15, 2017.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 16

Starting several days before Christmas each year he would
don the costume of Santa Claus, and parade the streets of
the city, stopping to shake hands with each little tot, and
listen to their wants and desires, with always a kindly word
of admonition or praise.
He entered into his work whole-heartedly and extended his
efforts to visit many children who were shut-ins, and made
special efforts to come in contact with the children of less
fortunate families. He asserted that his work in the role of
Santa provided him with some of the greatest thrills and
pleasures of his life.
Masons were pallbearers.

particularly in church and club circles.

Donnie Turnbo, 68, passed away on Nov. 14 at
home with his family. Funeral services were
held Nov. 16 at Lone Star Cowboy Church
officiated by Pastor Charky Marquis.
Pappy, as he was known and loved by so many,
was born Sept. 3, 1949 in Belton. Survived
by his wife of 39 years, Carol Kilman Turnbo,
his children Stephanie Turnbo and Michael
Cox of Los Angeles, California and Melissa
Turnbo Fuller and Kevin Fuller of Corsicana;
his grandchildren Sean Fuller, Emma Fuller
and Sebastian Cox; his sister Janice Simonds.
He was preceded in death by his father
William Allen Turnbo, mother Mavis Leota
Turnbo, brother Frederick, and sisters Joyce
Smith and Judy Bridges. May they welcome him
in and spoil him rotten, as they did in
life.
Pappy served his country in S. Korea during
the Vietnam war. After working for many
years in the trucking industry as a driver,
mechanic and supervisor he retired in 2009.
He was passionate about classic cars and
trucks above almost all else - whether it
was acquiring or working on them, or just
stopping and taking a moment to look under
the hood. He would talk your ear off (or
tell a dirty joke) if you let him, but you'd
have a friend for life after that.
The family would like to thank Chastity Blue
with Kindred Hospice for her care and
compassion, and Fay Feggett with Angels at
Home for her endless devotion and loving
care for the past 4 years.

 Allyson's
Story
Allyson Page Fasken passed away April 17, 2018. She now
resides in heavens glory awaiting the day when we all will
be reunited.
Allyson was born Feb. 20, 1969 in Arlington. As a child she
lived in Arlington, Chicago and finally in Blooming Grove
where she graduated from high school.
She received her education at North Texas University and The
University of Texas at Tyler. Having come from a long line
of teachers, she chose education as her career path. She
first taught for Tyler ISD and after her marriage to Murray
she taught full time for Paris ISD and for a brief period at
Paris Junior College.
At one point in her teaching career, she developed a passion
for those children who suffer from dyslexia. After further
education, she became a teacher to those dyslexic children
for Paris ISD.
Allyson set her moral compass at a early age and never
deviated from it. Those who knew her understood her faith in
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was first and foremost,
followed by her love and devotion for Murray, Andrew and
Elliott. A tremendous amount of her qualities have now been
passed down to her two precious boys who were her bright and
shining stars.
What you may not know about this 120 pound ball of fire is
that one of her prized worldly possessions was an AR-15
mounted with as silencer and a night vision scope. Yes, she
loved the outdoors. She was a deer hunter, duck hunter and a
wild hog hunter both from a ground stand and from the open
door of a helicopter. And yes, she was a fisher lady. In
fact only days before she left us she was catching crappie
at Lake 'O The Pines.
She is survived by her husband Murray Fasken; two sons,
Andrew and Elliott; brother Michael Todd Page of Gun Barrel
City; sister-in-law Pi Page; nephew Rafael Page; niece Clare
Page and parents Jim and Georgia Page of Paris. She also
leaves behind a host of uncles, aunts and cousins.
A memorial service will be held in her honor at 2 p.m. May
5, 2018 at His Place Fellowship on Hwy 24. Services will be
conducted by Bro. Mike Fortenberry and Dr. Earl Craig.
Allyson had both a passion for children and teachers. It was
her desire to leave behind a legacy to consist of a means to
help both groups. Funds will be used for scholarships to
those seeking a degree in education and funds for special
needs teachers. Allyson Page Fasken Endowment Donation forms
and a direct link are available at
www.pariseducationfoundation.com.
Her infectious laugh and beautiful smile will be missed by
all who knew her.
Thank you Allyson for all the memories you left for us. Our
love for you is forever. |

A. L. Armstrong, who resides near Navarro, an eye-witness to the
shooting, testified he and a negro, whose name he did not know, were
riding from Corsicana home with Dycus Saturday afternoon. He said he
had known Dycus almost a year and had known Ollie King for 11 years.
He testified that the shooting occurred near Lake Halbert Saturday
afternoon between 2 and 4 o'clock. He said he and his companions
were going south and that King stopped his car, headed north, near
them and got out with a gun. He said King fired two times at Dycus
and then later shot three more times. He said he was sitting close
to Dycus during the time and did not see him reach for any weapon.
He said Dycus told him:
"Mr. Armstrong run the team."
Armstrong testified that the gun snapped a couple of times and that
King attempted to hit Dycus with the gun. Dycus had gotten out on
one side of the wagon and then got back in. He testified King
returned to his (King�s) car turned it around and came back down the
road after the wagon ant that he (Armstrong) turned loose the lines
and got out of the wagon. He said that King ran to the wagon and
shot Dycus again and the mules ran down the road and over the hill.
Armstrong said King returned to his car.
Said Was His Friend.
When queried concerning anything King said to him (Armstrong) the
witness said King told him as he came back:
"Alex, remember I�m your friend."
Armstrong said that King and Dycus did not say a word to the other.
He said a car in which negros were riding appeared in sight but
stopped until after the shooting, and then came toward Corsicana. He
said he and the negro who had been in the wagon with Dycus went
after the team and drove to the Three-Way Filling station where
Dycus was placed in a car and brought to Corsicana. Armstrong drove
the team home, he said.
Under questioning by Norris Lovett, Armstrong related that Dycus was
living at the home of Mrs. McCarter, mother of Mrs. Dycus and that
Ollie King�s two sons also lived there. He said he never heard of
any trouble between Dycus and his wife or his stepsons. He denied
hearing that Dycus mistreated the two stepsons.
L. C. Morgan, county clerk, testified that a marriage license was
issued in his office Nov. 21, 1931, for A. D. Dycus and Mrs. Julia
King.

Bridge, testified that Dave Dycus married Mrs. Julia King, whom he
said was divorced from Ollie King last October. He said he visited
his mother, with whom Mr. and Mrs. Dycus resided once per week and
that he had never heard of any trouble between Dycus and the King
boys and knew of no reason for the shooting. He said he had known
