Aug 14, 1927 - Oct 16, 1964
Charge Negro In Slaying Of O. D. Carroll
O. D. Carroll, 37, negro, was pronounced dead on arrival
at Memorial Hospital of stab wounds received in quarrel
with another man about 8:45 p.m. Friday at South Twelfth
street and West Fifth avenue. While police were
investigating, a negro man surrendered at the county
jail and reportedly turned in the knife that was used.
But Ted Warren and Patrolman Leroy Crocker was
dispatched to Oil City Iron Works foundry to investigate
a report of a shooting incident, and on arrival were
advised that a knifing victim had already been taken by
ambulance to the hospital.
At the scene, a negro woman, Charlie Mae Jones, 1018
South Twelfth street, led police to the bathroom of her
house where they picked up a 12 gauge shotgun. She told
police a man carrying the gun forced his way into her
home saying he had killed a man with a knife and wanted
to wash the blood off his hands.
Officers said the gun was not used in the killing of the
man.
Officers reported they were told by Frankie Johnson,
that the trouble between the two men arose over an
accident in which they were involved in Dallas some time
back in the alleged assailant's car. Carroll according
to the Johnson woman, was supposed to have paid for
repairs and had not, and this was the issue in dispute.
Sheriff Rufus Pevehouse signed a complaint Saturday
morning charging murder against Leo Brown, 49-year-old
negro man, who surrendered voluntarily to Deputy W. L.
Norton at the County Jail around 9 p.m. Friday.
Brown, alone, walked into the county jail and told
Norton; �I guess I'm the man you're looking for.�
Norton replied, �What would I be looking for you for?�
The man told him that he had just killed another man, a
negro named O. D. Carroll.
Justice of the Peace Howe French set bond at $1,000 in
the case. Brown was out of jail on bond Saturday.

from Dallas, Texas lived a long, fruitful life. Sue
passed away on Wednesday, May 27th. She was born in

Dallas, Texas. Her brother, McAfee Daniel, was her
best friend. Sue was known for her class,
stubbornness, and her musical talent. Every day she
looked forward to playing the piano (which she
taught herself by hearing). However, she was an
exceptional pianist and was asked many times to play
both in church and her community. In watching her at
family occasions, people would often see her tapping
a beat with her fingers and toes.
Sue, during her childhood, was an exceptional
softball player! She also loved to devour homemade
cooked meals and enjoyed watching her grandkids play
in her swimming pool. She was also known for her
beauty; both fashion and classy attire were
important to her. She would say, "I need to put on
my lipstick before I take out the garbage."
Last but not least, she loved The Lord. Her life was
devoted to the church. She would listen to praise
music and hymns daily. Sue spent many Sundays at
Trinity in Irving and then fell in love with both
Pastor Stan and Donna at Lovers Lane; thus switched
her membership. Here at Lovers Lane she joined a
woman's bible study and even took Jazzercise! Sue,
or as her grandchildren would call her Mimi or
Grammy, had moves! She was blessed by 4
grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Family was
very important to her! We will miss you, Mimi!

Dec 25, 1926 - May 22, 2022
MILKES,
MARJORIE W., Age 95, born December 25, 1926, died on
May 22, 2022, after suffering from complications of
dementia and mental depression. She died of natural
causes while a resident at Legacy of Willow Bend in
Plano.
She attended Stephens College and went on to earn a B.S. in biology at Northwestern University. She met
her husband Dean while he was stationed at the Army
Air Force base in Corsicana during World War II.
After they married, Dean joined the family business
K. Wolens, Inc. in Corsicana.
In Corsicana, where she spent most of her life, she was active in synagogue Agudas Achim and many civic
and religious organizations. She was a dedicated mother to her three children and encouraged them to
become independent. Later in life she and Dean moved to Dallas and then Plano when Legacy was built. In addition to civic affairs, she served on
the Corsicana school district board during a tumultuous time. Marjorie displayed the courage of
her convictions when she voted with the minority on the local school board to follow a court ruling
keeping prayer out of public schools.
Later in life she attended Northwood Institute to study modern art and became an accomplished artist
who worked in a variety of media.
Those who knew her appreciated her friendliness, concern for others and generosity. She treated
others as equal regardless of their race, religion or ethnicity. She learned this from her parents. And
in turn she served as an example for her children. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends and
acquaintances.
She is survived by her sister, Bette Miller of St. Louis, daughter Lynn Frank and partner William Kohut
of Brunswick, Maine, son and daughter-in-law Joe Milkes and Shelley Van Derven of Plano, Texas and
granddaughters Kaela, Emily and Elisabeth and her husband Shai Applbaum of Vienna Austria as well as
great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents Joe and Marie Wolens, sister Dorothy,
husband Dean and daughter Cheryl Milkes Moore.
In lieu of flowers or remembrances, donations may be
made to a charity of your choice.
In order to honor Marjorie's life, her family has
planned a graveside service Wednesday, May 25, 2022
at 3 o'clock in the afternoon at the
Hebrew
Cemetery. |
