H. B. Bradley, aged 61
years, printer, employee in
the mechanical department of
the Corsicana Daily Sun for
the past 16 years, died with
a heart attack Thursday
morning at 4 o'clock at his
home, 510 North Commerce
street. He had been in ill
health for the past several
months, but his condition

Barton Bradley, or "Brad" as
he was familiarly called by
his close friends and
co-workers on the Sun, was
very popular with all who
knew him. He had a fine
sense of humor and was
cheerful and good-natured
even in his recent
ill-health, which had forced
him to practically give up
work at his chosen trade,
and in which he was most
efficient.
His cheery disposition and
ready wit made friends
readily and held them
closely. He was up-right,
honest in his dealings and
fair towards his fellowmen.
While he had his convictions
and stood by them with
vigor, he always conceded to
others the right to their
own convictions and
respected them. �Brad� was a
good man and made the world
better for having lived
therein. May he rest in
peace.

PIONEER CORSICANA WOMAN
PASSED AWAY LATE ON THURSDAY
FUNERAL SERVICES MRS. E. C.
FREEMAN WERE HELD FRIDAY
AFTERNOON
Funeral services for Mrs. E.
C. Freeman, aged 90 years,
native Texan, who died late
Thursday afternoon, were
held from the home of her
daughter, Mrs. E. B. Church,
960 West Ninth avenue,
Friday afternoon at 4
o'clock with interment in
Oakwood
cemetery. The rites
were conducted by Rev. E. T.
Miller, pastor of the First
Baptist church, and Rev. W.
G. Barr, pastor of the
Methodist Protestant church.
Pallbearers were R. D.
Mabry, Sid Story, Albert
Young, A. B. Douglas, R. A.
Caldwell and J. D. Carroll.
Mrs. Freeman was born in
Grimes county, Texas, and
came to Navarro county when
a mere child.
Surviving are a daughter,
Mrs. Church, Corsicana; a
son, Watkins Freeman, Waco;
two sisters, Mrs. Cora
Sanford and Mrs. Allie
Bonner, both of Corsicana;
four grandchildren.
Mrs. Freeman came to what is
now Navarro county with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. M.
Clary, among the earliest
settlers and large land
owners in this section of
Texas, and owner of probably
the first gin in this part
of the state, operated by
mule power, when she was a
mere child, and had resided
continuously since near and
in Corsicana, and was known
to all the early settlers of
this section as a loveable
Christian character. Of a
quiet and unassuming nature,
she went about doing good in
those pioneer days without
ostentation. Those who knew
her best loved her most.
For more than 80 years she
resided in this vicinity and
watched Navarro county and
Corsicana grow from a few
straggling cabin homes to a
modern community and city.
For the past several years
she had made her home with
her daughter, Mrs. Church,
and through the days of
declining health was given
the same tender care and
love that she had given
others all her long and
useful life.
The funeral was directed by
the Sutherland-McCammon
Funeral Home.

drop what he was doing to help anyone who needed it. He was a man of character and quite a character.

Hattie Lee Passes
All of us remember this good soul who
annually through her efforts gave the
prisoners at the Navarro county jail a
big turkey dinner on Thanksgiving Day.
She passed away Monday morning in Dallas
and her body is being held at local
colored undertaking establishment
awaiting for ample funds to bury her.
Don�t you think this good woman is
deserving of a proper burial, and should
not go to her last resting place in a
pauper�s grave.
It matters not as to color or creed, she
had a heart of gold, and may I ask that
the good people of this community, see
that Hattie Lee is richly rewarded as
she deserves by being given a
respectable burial.
Mail me your $1.00 or $5.00 or $10.00 if
you are able, and I will personally
interest myself to see that the money is
properly spent in her behalf.

Carroll Gene Shipman
Feb 15, 1938 - Jun 26, 2018
Carroll
Gene Shipman, 80, of Corsicana passed away Tuesday, June 26,
2018 at Trisun Care Center. He was born Feb. 15, 1938 in
Bloomfield, Missouri to Helen and Curtis Shipman.
Gene was in the USAF and
assigned to the Civil Engineering Squadron in Plattsburgh,
New York in support of Strategic Air Command (SAC) - where
he met the love of his life, Sandy.
After serving his country, he made a career as a Heavy
Equipment Operator who operated large earth moving
equipment, primarily specializing in operating large/heavy
truck, crawler and tall tower cranes across Florida and
Texas.
He has helped construct many of the high rises and buildings
you may see in Miami, Pompano Beach and Boca Raton, Florida
and even some that make up the Dallas and Fort Worth sky
lines. He was a Reserve Police Officer for the City of
Plantation, Florida and was also a Tank Crew Member in the
U.S. Army Reserve.
Gene and his wife Sandy
worked maintenance and upkeep over the course of several
years for the Navarro County Youth Expo Facility. He retired
from the City of Corsicana Public Works as a Crew
Supervisor, as well as from the NCSO where he worked as a
facility and vehicle maintenance man.
His handy man and carpentry skills were hard to top and
hobbies included beautiful leather work such as Bible
covers, belts and knife holsters, beautiful jewelry made
from scrap stainless steel pipe with intricate designs and
woodworking was a calling and passion for years. If you
could show a picture of what you desired or could describe
it in just a few words, plans were drawn and the item came
to be. He made many bookshelves, desks, drawing tables,
cabinets, stools, tables and more.
Nothing was ever more important than providing for, being
there for, loving and setting a wonderful example for his
family. He never hesitated to make time for anyone who
needed a helping hand. He was known for his joking, ribbing
and his infectious, bright smile and you were a better
person for having known him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, brother and wife
Sandy.
He is survived by his two children, Curt Shipman and wife
D'Lee, daughter Mandy Tanner and Husband Elmer;
grandchildren J.C. Shipman, Bobby Shipman, Wyatt Shipman,
Allison Tanner and Dustin Tanner and special angel and
friend Kelly Bell. All of whom loved him dearly and will
miss him daily.
Instead of flowers and plants, the family asks that you
bloom where you are planted. Be the change you wish to see
in this world. Be kind, compassionate and give to others.
Donate or give to a reputable charity that you know would
have been near and dear to his heart or give something near
and dear to your own. There are many in need so if you
choose, give in his memory and make a positive difference in
something or for someone.
Visitation will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, July 5,
2018 at Griffin-Roughton Funeral Home. Graveside Memorial
Service will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, July 6, 2018 at
