Missing Man Hunt Uncovers Body Tuesday
The body of a man found near Post Oak Creek about 150 yards north of dead-end of North Main street Tuesday morning was
identified as that of J. T. Ross, 89, who had been missing since Thursday, May 24.

Investigator Jay Upton of the Corsicana City Police Department found the body about 11 a.m. He and Douglas Hightower, assistant
chief, and Lee Ross had been searching the area in which the elderly Ross was last seen.
Justice of the Peace G. C. Bowden was called to the scene but withheld a verdict.
Corley's removed the badly decomposed body which was found in a washout surrounded by high weeds.
The elderly Ross lived at 409 North Main street at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dick Palmer. Apparently he was last seen about noon
Thursday, May 24, but the Palmers and residents of the neighborhood believed that he had gone to Palestine to visit
relatives. Lee Ross said he discovered Saturday that his father's wherebouts were unknown and immediately began to check
all possible locations.
The son came to Corsicana Monday night and notified police that his father was missing.
Neighborhood residents reported last seeing the elderly man on the aforementioned date as he walked northward on the street,
pausing every few yards for a rest.
The son said his father was a native of Mississippi but had lived in Corsicana since bout 1940. In 1954, the elderly Ross's
wife died, he said. He said his father had lived in Texas since early manhood and was a retired farmer.

Obituary
for Leonard Henk
Leonard (Len) Elmer Henk passed away February 11, 2021 at
Baylor Scott & White-Hillcrest Hospital in Waco with his
loving wife Patricia, holding his hand as she had been doing
throughout their marriage for the past 51 years.
Len was born March 18, 1945 in Oak Park, Illinois. He was

A retired telecommunications worker, Len spent the last
years of his life puttering around in his barn. He liked to
weld and enjoyed using his MIG welder. He always had a
project of one kind or another going, and more than likely
his son Charles was right there by his side.
Len was preceded in death by his father, Elmer John and
mother, Marie Adeline. He is survived by his wife, Patricia
and only child Charles Len.
The family would like to express their appreciation for the
heroic effort by the staff at Baylor Scott & White to save
Len's life. In the end it was God's will to call him home.
Thank you also to the many friends and family who have
called, texted and shared stories. Their encouragement love
and support have been a lifeline.
He will be laid to rest in
Dresden Cemetery,
next to his parents following a private graveside service.
A true believer and follower in God's plan for salvation, he
is resting in the arms of the angels now. |

complained, but considered it an honor to care for her. He always reminded us he would not break his wedding vow to
her, in sickness and in health, for better for worse. He said "She took care of me for 60 years, now it's my turn to
take care of her", which he did up until she had a stroke in 2018 and had to go the nursing home.

final days. A special thank you to the entire staff at Twilight for your compassion and care for our Daddy and for
his family. There are no words to express the gratitude we have for every person there.

the Church's mission.
Neoma and Jake cherished their life together at their home
on Park Avenue. They worked tirelessly to create a beautiful
yard, garden, and overall sanctuary for themselves and their
beloved pets. The ten years that Neoma's mother lived with
them was a very special time. Neoma was keenly aware of all
"goings on" in the neighborhood. Through community, church,
school and family the Allens developed many friendships, but
few were more important to them than their neighbors.
Neoma was preceded in death by her parents, and husband
Jake. She is survived by several nieces, nephews, and
numerous cousins. "Nomi" will be missed and fondly
remembered by family, friends, and former students for her
loyalty, faithfulness and dedication. Her family wishes to
thank Jake's niece, Diana Shindler, and her family for the
attentive care and love shown Neoma since Jake's death.
A graveside burial will be held at the Jonesboro Cemetery
in the fall.
Those wishing to remember Neoma may do so through her
church, First United Methodist Church, 320 N. 15th Street,
Corsicana, TX 75110 or Project Paws, P.O. Box 407,

Bruce Rutherford Lane Sr.
Jul 5, 1933 - Jan 8, 2011
Bruce Rutherford Lane was
born on July 5th, 1933 on a farm three miles south of Blooming
Grove, TX. His parents were Lizzie Moody Lane and James Albert
Lane. They raised their family on a farm growing mostly cotton
and corn. Bruce helped bring in the harvest. He was a salesman
from an early age selling flower seeds to his neighbors. He was
involved in running and one act plays with his drama class in
high school.
He was an SMU graduate, a track runner, and joined the Air Force
ROTC. After college he earned his flight wings and became a
flight crew member of the 11th Air Refueling Squadron and flew
on KC97 Tankers as a navigator. While in Alaska, the 11th Air
Refueling Squadron refueled the first 'round the world nonstop
flight' (Operation Power Flite) in three different locations in
the western part of the world. He has also been a member of the
U.S. Coast Guard Auxillary. He could have had a career with the
military but he chose to return to civilian life resuming his
work in the restaurant equipment business. Bruce was a
distributor for Taylor Freezers and loved the ice cream
business. He saw many changes in the industry and always had a
story to share.
Bruce was a country boy at heart and always remembered his
hometown and loved ones in Blooming Grove. His teacher Mrs. Ruth
Ramsey encouraged and inspired him to be all he could be. She
made a great impression on him. He and his High School
Classmates established a scholarship fund in memory of Mrs.
Ramsey for the students in the Blooming Grove School District.
During the 20 years of the Ruth Ramsey Scholarship Fund, many
ex-students have established other scholarships in honor of
their loved ones. He and his classmates also established a WWII
memorial in Blooming Grove. Even though he resided in Dallas,
Bruce stayed heavily active and involved with his hometown till
the very end. He also enjoyed being involved with the BG
Historical Society. Doing things to better his hometown and
getting together with friends really brought joy to his heart.
Asides from his passion for his hometown, he loved boating,
ranching and being surrounded by his loved ones. He's preceded
in death by his parents Lizzie and Albert Lane, and his brothers
Derwood, Jim, and Claude Lane. He's survived by his wife Cindy
Lane and their two children Jim Lane and Joanna Lane along with
her husband Andre Cloutier. He's also survived by his sons Bruce
