CORSICANA FRIENDS PAY FINAL TRIBUTE TO POPULAR CITIZEN
FUNERAL RITES FOR W. TOM MC'ELWEE HELD THIS AFTERNOON
Funeral services for W. Tom McElwee, 75, who died at his
home, 1004 West Fifth avenue, Sunday afternoon, were held
from the First Christian church Tuesday afternoon at 3
o'clock. Burial was in Oakwood cemetery. The rites were
conducted by Rev. W. O. Harmon, minister of the church,
while Hastings Harrison, Dallas, former Corsicanan, now
vice-president of the National Conference of Christians and
Jews, delivered the eulogy. Harrison and McElwee had been
close personal friends for many years.
The seating facilities of the auditorium were taxed to
capacity and the profusion of floral offerings was mute
testimony of the high esteem held for Mr. McElwee by his
fellow townsmen. The funeral cortege was one of the longest
ever seen in Corsicana. Many out of town friends also
attended the rites.
McElwee born on the same block on which he has resided
throughout his life.
Business Leader
A leader in business, civic and church circles, McElwee was
a Rotarian, prominent in the YMCA activities for many years,
and was primarily responsible for the spacious and
up-to-date Camp Wanica clubhouse and other facilities that
makes the Camp Fire Girls summer camp one of the outstanding
sites in this section.
He aided many worthy boys and girls to secure college
educations, and his benefactions and charities, little known
to the public, touched many worthy families and individuals
throughout the year. McElwee was the head of the Collin
Street Bakery and the DeLuxe Fruit Cake Company,
manufacturer and distributor of the famous fruit cakes that
are shipped around the world in normal times. He was
personally known to the leading figures in the theatre,
circus and professional sports circles and was host and
friend to scores when they came through this section.
The body lay in state at the church from 1:30 p.m. Tuesday
until the funeral hour.
Editorial Tribute.
Today's Dallas news paid the following editorial tribute to
the memory of Mr. McElwee:
�Corsicana lost a man who could have been pretty rich in
money, if he had set his heart upon money most of all. But
this man Tom McElwee seems to have valued friendliness and
neighborliness more than dollars. As a matter of fact, he
die very well as a businessman. But business to him was just
neighborliness and good sense on a practical basis of
getting the world's work done honestly and honorably and
cheerfully.
�Big business came to Tom McElwee and offered to bout out
his establishment which was selling its product around the
world at the time. But Tom McElwee didn't sell out. The
price was more than he had a right to ask, but he figured
his employees had helped to build up the business and he
wasn't sure how they would fare under chain management. So
he turned down the money and kept his association with
people who were his friends as well as his employees.
�Corsicana, as you know, is the site of the State Orphans'
Home. The boys and girls there know Tom McElwee. Through the
years he has made it his pleasure to interest himself in
them. Scores of youngsters out in the world on their own
will have cause to grieve now that Tom McElwee is dead.
�Tom McElwee was not a pretentious man in a big place. He
did not burn out his days in pursuit of power or fame. He
merely loved work, loved people and loved God�and was Tom
McElwee. You don't forget having known a man like that.�
Pallbearers were A. B. Douglass, Jr.; S. K. Brietz, W. P.
Brown, Lynn Wortham, Joel C. Trimble, Dr. A. B. Horn, Dr. W.
K. Logsdon, J. Wesley Edens and E. W. Hable.
Honorary pallbearers were employees of the Collin Street
Bakery and friends of the family.
McCammon Funeral Home directed.
The following business firms, tenants in McElwee buildings,
were closed during the funeral hour:
Radio Service Company, Tessie Dickerson Studio, Morton
Printing Company, Johnson's Pharmacy, L. V. Majors, Modern
Beauty Shoppe and Palace Barber Shop.
Notes:
--
IN REMEMBRANCE MR. W. T. McELWEE
The board of directors of the Young Mens Christian Association in
regular session today pause to express our love and esteem for our
good friend and fellow director, Mr. W. T. McElwee.
We bow our heads and hearts in deep appreciation and gratitude for
the association with so great a man, and such a faithful worker. His
work for our local association was constant and untiring and his
keen interest meant much to our national and international program.
His love for young men was constantly being demonstrated in his
attitude and generosity toward plans and programs for their physical
and spiritual welfare. It was never how little could be done, but
how much. He chose the greater task.
Mr. McElwee loved people and what good people stood for an worked
for. He loved people of all classes, creeds and colors. He was
capable of talking to men at high and low estate, never looked up to
any one because of his wealth, prominence of education, neither did
he look down upon one because of poverty or lack of opportunity.
Consequently when he approached men in the interest of some worthy
community undertaking, he did not have to waste time in making
apologies for his presence and enthusiasm.
He not only loved people, but he loved all institutions that meant
anything worthwhile to God's children. His religion was real, active
and practical. In other words, he remembered the week day and kept
it holy. Seldom a day passed that he did not manifest his strong
faith in God and men, by doing some wonderful act of kindness to
someone less fortunate than himself.
Few men apparently know the meaning of friendship, but Mr. McElwee's
conception of its real meaning was ideal. He never cared to be
half-hearted in anything, but true and loyal to the core. He did not
know the meaning of the half way ground, he was for or against.
He had such a fine way of sharing his friends joys, and weeping with
those in sorrow. He knew the art of imparting courage and hope to
those who were in need.
Our fiend's loyalty to the Young Men's Christian Association was
genuine throughout the years of its existence, and his helpfulness,
both financially and in service, can never he forgotten. The
keenness of his spirit never wavered, and temporal affairs were but
as fleeting moments.
May God's richest blessings rest with his loved ones, and his memory
abide in our lives through all the days to come.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS,
Young Men's Christian Association.

October 29, 1930, in St. Elmo, Freestone county, Texas. His
childhood job as paper boy in Corsicana, Texas delivering
the paper to Texas governor, Beauford H. Jester, was his
first experience with a Texas governor, but it would not be
his last. While he devoted his life to banking, he would go
on to serve other Texas governors, both Democrat and
Republican - Governors John Connally, Dolph Briscoe, Bill
Clements, Mark White, Ann Richards, George W. Bush, Rick

was a key aspect of his life's work. Glen attended school
through sixth grade in St. Elmo in a wood frame schoolhouse;
however, his first day of first grade was brief as he ran
away from school to his uncle's candy store. Glen went on to
junior high and high school in Corsicana, Texas. In 1946
Glen's family moved to San Benito, Texas. In San Benito,
Glen started his banking career in 1947 at The San Benito
Bank and Trust Company. He began as a file clerk and often
said that if the janitor's position had been open, he would
have started there. Taking a leave of absence in 1951, Glen
enlisted in the United States Air Force to serve in the
Korean War. His service career from 1951 to 1954, included
18 months in the Far East Command (Japan) - as a Sergeant in
the Air Weather Service. Glen attended Chillicothe Business
College in Chillicothe, Missouri, along with various banking
schools over the years. Upon discharge, Glen returned to San
Benito, continuing a banking career that would span over 60
years. He worked in all areas of operations and lending and
was promoted to Vice-President and was a member of the Board
of Directors. In 1961 Glen accepted a position with McAllen
State Bank as Chief Operations and Lending Officer and was
elected to the Board of Directors. Later he was elected
Executive Vice-President and Chief Executive Officer, then
promoted to President. During the 1970s, he also served as a
director on several bank boards, First State Bank and Trust
Company in Edinburg; University State Bank in Austin, and
First National Bank in Harlingen. At the same time he worked
closely with Harlingen business leaders to open a new bank
in 1974 - Harlingen State Bank. In 1979 McAllen's skyline
changed when Glen moved McAllen State Bank into its new 17
story building. Today it is still a Valley landmark and the
centerpiece of McAllen's downtown business district. In 1981
Glen and a group of McAllen business leaders opened Texas
State Bank in McAllen. Soon Harlingen State Bank and Texas
State Bank grew into a state-wide banking organization, led
by Glen, with his wife Rita K. by his side. He was a member
of the Board of Directors of both banks at that time. These
banks merged in 1983 under a holding company - Texas
Regional Bancshares, Inc. (TRBS). In the meantime, First
City Bancorporation of Texas acquired McAllen State Bank in
1982, electing Glen as Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer in 1983. He was also elected to the Board
of Directors of First City Bancorporation, Inc., in Houston.
In 1985 he resigned from his positions with First City and
McAllen State Bank and moved to lead TRBS. Mid-Valley Bank
in Weslaco was acquired in 1991 by TRBS, and a 13-lane motor
bank at Texas State Bank in McAllen opened, along with the
bank's own computer center. In 1992 the banks in McAllen,
Harlingen and Weslaco merged and consolidated into Texas
State Bank. In McAllen, TRBS purchased Kerria Plaza in 1993
to house the headquarters of the holding company. Two more
branches opened: at Twenty-third Street and Nolana Avenue
and at South Jackson Avenue and Expressway 83. One of the
high points of Glen's banking career took place on March 15,
1994. He took TRBS public, selling its stock in the
financial center of the country - the NASDAQ stock exchange.
He and Rita K. rang the bell that opened the stock exchange
that day at NASDAQ's location, Times Square, New York City.
TRBS, the holding company's stock symbol rolled across the
NASDAQ marque for the first time, and in one day the entire
issue sold out. Glen and Rita K. traveled around the
country, telling major stock brokerage firms about Texas
State Bank, the Rio Grande Valley and Texas. Glen often
talked about the investment bankers who helped take TRBS
public and continued to help him promote Texas State Bank
and the Rio Grande Valley to investment firms nationwide,
including Hill Feinberg, then Chairman and CEO of
FirstSouthwest Securities, now Hilltop Securites, Inc., in
Dallas and Roger Powell of Alex Brown and Sons in Baltimore.
One of their friends, Charles V. "Chick" Lord also with Alex
Brown and Sons was a frequent visitor to the Valley. Glen
and Rita K. remembered that he always stopped by and visited
with Dolia Gonzalez, mother of the Valley's Vietnam war hero
and U.S. and Texas Medal of Honor recipient -- Marine
Sergeant Freddy Gonzalez. Chick credited Sergeant Gonzalez
for saving his life in Vietnam. From 1995 to 1998 other
banks were acquired with more locations in Rio Grande City,
Roma, Mission, Hidalgo, Brownsville, Raymondville, and
Harlingen. Another highlight of the 1990s was the opening of
the 11 story Texas State Bank tower in 1998, Glen's second
bank tower project impacting McAllen's skyline. Into the
year 2000 Glen and Rita K. crisscrossed the country
educating investors about the growth that the region was
experiencing. However, on September 11, 2001, like New York
City and the entire country, they were devastated by the
terrorist attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade
Center in New York City. Glen and Rita K. lost many friends
in the disaster -- investment bankers, brokers and investors
that had become close. Many New York and East Coast
colleagues visited them in the Valley to see something
positive - the upward economic growth in the Rio Grande
Valley. From 2002 into 2006, Glen led the TRBS expansion
throughout the state of Texas with new locations in Houston
(Riverway and Main-Downtown), Eagle Pass, Sugar Land, and
expansion of the data center to Grapevine. The holding
company also acquired Corpus Christi Bancshares, Southeast
Texas Bancshares, Port Arthur Abstract and Title, Valley
Mortgage Company in McAllen, and Mercantile Bank & Trust,
Dallas. New branches opened in Edinburg, San Juan, Silsbee,
Lumberton, Weslaco, The Woodlands, and Houston-Montrose. By
2006 there were five locations in Dallas and five locations
in Houston. Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. had grown from
its humble beginnings of a few assets to a $7 billion
banking organization with 73 locations throughout Texas, and
the common stock on NASDAQ enjoyed success. Glen was
contacted by a representative of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya
Argentaria, S.A. (BBVA), a multinational banking group based
in Spain. He had visited with them on previous occasions
where they expressed an interest in purchasing the bank, but
this time they proposed buying TRBS,Inc. and its subsidiary
Texas State Bank for cash. The organization was sold to BBVA
on November 6, 2006, for $2,165,000,000 cash. This was
reported to be the largest cash transaction ever made for a
bank in Texas. Morris Atlas, long-time friend of Glen and
director of TRBS, Inc., and Texas State Bank, said that Glen
Roney's bank sale made more millionaires in the Valley than
any other investment in history. Stockholders from around
the nation, as well as bank employees, officers and
directors who were also stockholders, benefited from the
bank sale. BBVA went on to buy Compass Bancshares, Inc., and
all of the Texas State Bank branches merged into BBVA
Compass Bancshares, Inc. Glen served as a director for BBVA
Compass for 10 years. Upon resigning he was offered an
office suite with Plains Capital Bank in north McAllen. Many
former customers still credit Glen for believing in them and
making the loans that first kicked off their businesses.
Glen was known for finding ways to make things work,
searching for solutions to problems, and helping customers
succeed in their businesses. While Glen worked tirelessly to
build Texas State Bank and TRBS, at the same time he was a
strong supporter of public, charitable and political
organizations. Besides being a paper delivery boy to
Governor Jester, his work with the State of Texas and its
governors started again with a close business relationship
with Governor John Connally. He was appointed by Governor
Dolph Briscoe, and re-appointed by Governors Bill Clements
and Mark White to the Texas Water Development Board. He
served on the water board for 14 years and was Chairman of
the Texas Water Resources Finance Authority for three years.
He was a member of the Texas Research League, the Texas
Political Action Committee and director of the Texas Bankers
Association. He also served as co-chairman of the Governor's
Task Force Committee on Border Economic Development in 1986
under Governor Mark White. Governor Ann Richards appointed
Glen as a founding member of South Texas College Board of
Trustees in 1993. It opened with 1,000 students, and today
it enrolls over 34,000. For 12 years he served in such
positions as Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Chairman of
the Finance, Resource and Facility Committees. Under
Governors George W. Bush and Rick Perry, he served on the
Governor's Business Council. In 1973 he worked closely with
McAllen city leaders and other colleagues to obtain approval
of the McAllen Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ). He gave President
George H.W. Bush, Sr., then a U.S. Congressman, credit for
helping them gain approval. It was the first inland
non-seaport Foreign Trade Zone in the United States. Today
it consists of over 775 acres, and more than 400 companies
are located in the FTZ, representing 42 countries across the
globe. Joe Kilgore, Glen's close friend, business associate
and a former U. S. Congressman for south Texas, invited him
to join the Scott & White board. He had worked with Glen on
the TRBS and Texas State Bank boards. Glen faithfully served
in various capacities at Scott & White Memorial Hospital in
Temple, Texas, for 33 years. In January 1984, Glen was
elected to the Scott, Sherwood and Brindley Foundation Board
of Trustees at Scott & White. In January 2010, he was
elected as Vice Chairman of the Scott & White Healthcare
Board, where he served with Drayton McClane, Chairman. In
October 2013, Glen and Rita K. participated in the opening
of the Roney Bone and Joint Institute, a 75,000 square-foot
medical facility on the Temple campus. In November 2013, he
was elected as Chairman of the Scott & White Healthcare
Board and served for three years (2013-2016). During his
tenure, he served as Chairman of the Staff Compensation
Committee, Governance Committee and Finance Committee. He
also was a member of the following committees: Development /
Endowment, Investment, Audit and Insurance, Executive, Scott
and White Assurance LTD, Quality and Safety, and the
Foundation Board. As a leader in South Texas, Glen served
many organizations for a combined 42 years, 1975 through
2017. He was a Director of the South Texas Higher Education
Authority Board (STHEA) and the Council of South Texas
Economic Progress (COSTEP). He and other community leaders
opened Chapel by the Sea, a Christian fellowship at South
Padre Island. They oversaw the planning and construction of
the chapel, and the first service was held Easter Sunday,
April 6, 1980. Glen and Rita K. continued to serve on the
board of directors. Glen was a founding member of the Vannie
E. Cook, Jr. Cancer Foundation in McAllen, established in
1977. It was named for Glen's friend and colleague Vannie E.
Cook, Jr. He served for 40 years as an executive board
member and treasurer. The Vannie E. Cook Jr. Children's
Cancer and Hematology Clinic and the City of McAllen
recognized Glen for his service by proclaiming May 16, 2017
as Glen E. Roney Day. From 1989 through 1993, he served on
the Board of Directors of McAllen Affordable Homes. He was
board president from 1991 to 1993. Glen realized the
importance of helping young people succeed through
education. He joined the Board of Directors of the South
Texas Academic Rising Scholars (STARS) Scholarship Fund,
founded by his friend and business leader, Joe LaMantia, Jr.
and the LaMantia family. STARS awarded scholarships to
students in south Texas to help them attend college. Glen
and Rita K. were elected to the Board of Governors of the
McAllen Boys and Girls Club, where they continued to serve.
In 2004, they were honored when the club built the Glen E.
and Rita K. Roney Center. In 2008 Glen was named a Texas
Business Legend and inducted into the Texas Business Hall of
Fame. He received additional awards, including: 1990 Hidalgo
Chamber of Commerce Border Texan of the Year, 1991
University of Texas-Pan American Founder's Day Honoree, 1992

of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award. Over the years Glen
and Rita K. enjoyed ranching both in South Texas and in the
Texas Hill Country, raising cattle and exotic animals. They
especially loved having friends to the ranch, watching the
beauty of the roaming wildlife, and the peacefulness of
being outdoors. He saw it as a wonderful place to reflect on
life and God's blessings. He and Rita K. cherished those
quiet moments at the ranch. Glen E. Roney will always be
remembered as a leader in the generation that made the Rio
Grande Valley great. Glen passed away November 10, 2018 from
pneumonia. A memorial service will be held at First

(Carroll) Holdeman
Dec 9, 1922 - Oct 27, 2018
Frances
Holdeman
Birth Date: December 9, 1922
Death Date: October 27, 2018
Frances Carroll Holdeman, of Mansfield, Texas, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday morning, October 27, 2018. She was 95 years old.
Frances Mozelle Carroll was born at home in Barry, Texas, on December 9, 1922, to James William and Blanche Estelle
Jordan Carroll. It was a time when most homes did not have running water inside. She attended school in Blooming Grove,
Texas, graduating from
Blooming Grove High School in 1939. She began her bookkeeper's career working for several area businesses,
including the local cotton gin. She soon accepted a position at the Carrier Air Conditioning Corporation in Dallas,
Texas. She lived at home and commuted to Dallas, Texas, accompanying her "little" brother Rudy on the Interurban
train from Italy, Texas, to his stop in Waxahachie, where he attended high school.
Frances loved her nieces and nephews as if they were her own children. She spent many weekends with her oldest brother,
Sam, her sister-in-law, Lorraine, and their children, Carolyn, Bill, and Mary Frances. At Christmas time, they
made cookies together and enjoyed trips to Dallas to see the Christmas lights and visits to Santa. She loved to sew, and
enjoyed making clothes for her nieces. Candy and Mary fondly remember skirts she created for them for Christmas, 1955.
Instead of the usual poodle skirts which were popular, these skirts had nursery rhyme theme appliqué's like "Hey diddle,
diddle, The cat and the fiddle�"
Frances eventually moved to Dallas, where she met her soul mate, Harold Weston Holdeman. They married in 1962. She
finished the year on leave from Carrier pending the birth of their first child. She never returned after she was blessed
with a baby girl of her own, Harriet Ann, in 1963. Frances considered her "only chicken" the greatest gift God ever
gave to her. She utilized her creativity and skill as a seamstress by making all of her little girl's clothes.
When the family moved to Mineral Wells, Texas, in 1967, Frances found a new church home, as well. She was a member
of the First United Methodist Church in Mineral Wells, Texas, for more than 40 years. She loved her church family
and, after relocating to the DFW area in 2000, continued to make the drive to Mineral Wells each Sunday until 2010. She
was the third grade Sunday School teacher for many years. After "retiring" as a regular Sunday School teacher, she
served in the office as an administrative assistant. She assisted with the United Methodist Youth Group while her
daughter was in junior high and high school. Through the years, Frances served in many other volunteer capacities,
including Stephen Ministries, delivering Meals on Wheels, and the after-school ministry "Little Folks". Frances truly
had a heart for children and the community. She was a volunteer third-grade teacher's aide at Lamar Elementary, a
Girl Scout Troop Leader, and she gave time to the Hope Shelter for battered women and their children.
Frances lost her beloved Harold in 1990. After tending to their 50 acre home site in Mineral Wells by herself for ten
years, she decided it was time to be closer to her daughter. She moved to Kennedale, Texas in 2000, and then to
Mansfield, Texas, in 2004. She discovered a new church start in Mansfield, New Day United Methodist Church. As a senior
lady with white hair, she delighted in sharing knowledge and wisdom with younger members, as well as the intensity and
dynamic of a brand new congregation. When the membership of New Day was transferred to Community of Hope United
Methodist Church, she was quickly welcomed and loved by many new friends. Frances also loved the familiarity of an
old-fashioned county church that she found at Britton United Methodist Church, where she gathered many more who called
her friend. Everywhere she went, she departed with these final words,
"Remember, I love you, but God loves you more."
Frances was preceded in death by her parents, James William and Blanche Estelle, brothers, William Erwin "Sam", James
Doyle, Ray Dean, husband of 28 years Harold Weston, and just a few hours prior, her beloved brother Rufus Franklin
"Rudy". She was also preceded by her cherished niece Carolyn Carroll Vinson, and her treasured nephew, Robert Doyle "Bob"
Carroll. Frances is survived by her daughter, Harriet Ann Holdeman and husband Trent Blake, her step-son, Harold
Weston Holdeman, Jr "Hal", and wife PJ "Jo", and her sister-in-law, Billie Morris Carroll. Her surviving nephews
and nieces are Bill Carroll and wife Jerri, Mary Waldrip and husband Ronnie, Carla Thomas and husband Dr. Robert, Candy
Grady and husband Douglas, Courtney Carroll, Jim Carroll and wife Emily, Ray Carroll and wife Gayla, Tammy Carroll Jones
and husband Dan. Frances has numerous great nieces and nephews and a host of dear friends.
A celebration of life will be held for Frances in Wildwood Chapel at Restland Memorial Park on November 3, 2018, at 12:30 PM.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Methodist Children's Home: 1111 Herring Avenue, Waco, Texas
