Obituary for Nathaniel Raines
Nathaniel Raines, 83, of Corsicana was born December 5, 1936
in Clifton, Texas to James A. and Julia Lindsey Raines.
Growing up on a farm, he loved all things outdoors;
including caring for horses, fishing, gardening, and mowing,
which also carried into his later years. He enlisted in the
U.S. Army on December 2, 1959 and served honorably. After
serving his country, Nathaniel spent most of his career as a
machinist, building oilfield equipment.
On October 30, 1965 he married the love of his life, Martha
Marie Lynn. Together they loved and raised four children,
Dennis, Marty, Debbie, and Robin. Family was the most
important thing to Nathaniel, which was evident through his
constant support, love, and devotion to them. Always a quiet
man, he let his actions speak for themselves. He drew
pleasure from the simple things in life such as traveling
and spending time with his wife, children, and
grandchildren, to whom he was known as Pawpaw. As their
grandchildren began to grow, Nathaniel and Martha enjoyed
having them over for the weekend and taking them on
vacations as often as they could. During his recent years,
he enjoyed spending time in nature and watching his
great-grandchildren grow and play.
Nathaniel was preceded in death by his parents; beloved wife
of 40 years, Martha Raines; siblings, James Raines, Bobby
Raines, Jesse Raines, C.W. Raines, Juanita Raines Creel, and
Mary Catherine Raines Price; son, Dennis Raines; and
grandson, Jimmy Raines.
He is survived by his older sister, Rachel Belshaw, of
Manteca, California; daughters, Marty Stevenson and husband
Darrell, Debbie Massey and husband Terry, Robin Stevens and
husband Scott; grandchildren, Billy Raines, Jaymie Nelson
and husband Guillermo Vargas, Justin Lynch and wife Crystal,
Lindsey McCartney and husband Ethan, Blake Gullatt and wife
Presley, Logan Stevens and wife Ashlyn, and Jessica
Stevenson; 11 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and
nephews.

MRS. N. J. EVANS PASSED AWAY AT EARLY HOUR TODAY
Mrs. N. J. Evans, mother of Miss Sallie Evans, died this morning at
8:30 o'clock at the family home on West Collin street, after an
illness of several months. Although Mrs. Evans' death was not
unexpected, her passing has cast a pall of sorrow over the entire
community and hundreds of friends are grieved beyond expression.
Mrs. Evans, with her daughter, Miss Sallie, has lived in Corsicana
for many years, and to know her was to love her. She was of a
bright, cheerful disposition, always having a kind word for everyone
and was ever ready to render assistance to the needy. She numbers
her friends by those who knew her and although the memory of this
good woman will be felt in the community for many years, it will
indeed be hard to fill the particular place she has created in the
hearts of her most intimate friends.
One of the most touching incidents in connection with the death of
Mrs. Evans was a desire expressed by her to be able to spend one
night in the Gift Cottage, which has just been completed as an
expression of appreciation by former pupils of Miss Sallie Evans,
who has taught school in Corsicana for the past forty years. Up
until the very last Mrs. Evans took great interest in this cottage,
and only a few nights before she passed away in a moment of
consciousness she asked the nurse at her bedside if the cottage had
been completed. In keeping with her wish her body will be removed to
the Gift Cottage this evening, where it will rest tonight and
Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock the funeral services will be conducted
there under the direction of the Rev. R. P. Kennedy, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, of which she has been a member for many years.
Burial will take place in Marlin Tuesday afternoon in the family
burial plot in the cemetery of that city.
The funeral party will leave Corsicana over the 10:40 a.m. Houston
and Texas Central for Marlin, following the service at the Gift
Cottage, 209 North Eighteenth street, at 8 o'clock.
The deceased is survived by the following near relatives: Miss
Sallie Evans, daughter; Mrs. M. S. Read and Mrs. Albert Berry,
Mexia; Mrs. L. A. Johnson, Corsicana.
The entire community will join in extending sincere sympathy to Miss
Sallie in her hour of great sorrow.

Albert T. Evans
Died Oct 2, 1916
DIED IN EL PASO
Son of Mrs. N. J. Evans of Corsicana Answers Final Summons.
Albert Evans, son of Mrs. N. J. Evans of Corsicana, died Friday
morning at 9 o'clock at El Paso and was buried Sunday afternoon in
the family burying ground at Marlin beside a sister and a brother.
Miss Sallie Evans of this city, a sister, attended the funeral, his
devoted mother being unable to do son on account of illness. Mr.
Evans had been in ill health for some time and since last February
had been in Dr. Homan's sanitarium in El Paso for treatment and
where he died. Mrs. Evans and Miss Sallie visited him there a few
weeks ago remaining several days with him. At the time of their
departure the attending physician expressed strong hopes for his
recovery, a hope he maintained until a very short time before death
came and gave the patient sufferer relief. Mr. Evans was a member of
the Methodist church and approached life's end calmly and
unflinchingly. A letter received by a friend of the family who was
at his bedside when the physician told him there was no longer hope,
bears abundant evidence of this fact and of course is a source of
unspeakable comfort to the grief-stricken mother and sister. The
friend is Mrs. Glaze, who says that the patient, as she sat by him
and just before he closed his eyes for the final sleep looked at her
and asked her to draw near, that he wanted to speak with her. Then
he told her in a weak but steady voice that the doctor had said he
had but a short time to live. �Tell mother an sister,� he said,
�that I am prepared and willing to go; that I have no fear; the
future is clear and my mind and soul are at peace. Then he closed
his eyes and without a struggle his life went out and the spirit
went to the God who gave it.� Mrs. Glaze then speaks of how calm and
peaceful his face was even after death had come and says she herself
has no doubt as to his future and neither could any one have heard
his last words and looked into his face at the time as she did have
doubts.
Mrs. Evans and Miss Sallie have many friend here who will deeply
sympathize with them but can only point them to the same God that
sustained the son and brother in his last hours, giving him that
comfort which passeth understanding.
