ROCKDALE ELECTRICIAN
IS PAINFULLY INJURED
Sunday evening, Nov. 22, about
7:30 o'clock Mrs. Fannie B. Scott, wife
of Mr. John Scott, passed away to he:*
eternal reward. The end came fol-
lowing an operation in the Scott and
White Sanitarium at Temple. Whila
sister Scott had been in declining
health for the past two or three years,
the fatal attack was sudden and quite
unexpected. It came as a great
shock to the entire community. Shj
was born in Rappahannock County,
Virginia, Dec. 16, 1854, her age ai
death being 70 years, 11 months and
6 days. She was united in marriage
to John Scott in 1877 and they moved
to Texas that year. The family is one
of the old settlers of this community.
There is no more honored, respecteo
and beloved family in Williamson
county. This good woman was the
happy devoted mother of five children,
three of which preceeded her to the
home beyond. She is survived by her
beloved husband, a son John W. SeoU
of Granger; a daughter, Mrs. W. D.
Gardner of Granger; a sister, Mrs.
Jennie Doyle of Virginia, a number
of grandchildren and other beloved
relatives.
In the going of this good woman,
the husband has lost a true loving
companion, who through all these
eventful years has helped to bear his
burdens as well as share his joys.
The son and daughter have lost a true,
devoted, loving mother, and the com-
munity at large, is bereft of one ol
its most honored, respected and loved
women.

(Taylor Press)
Eddie Shiler, a farm boy living near
Laneport, was painfully but not seri-
ously injured Sunday when he wak
accidentally, shot with a load of buck-
shot.
Eddie with his brother, had return-
ed from a hunt and were removing
their hunting things from the car,
when Eddie stood the gun on the car
fender, when it was discharged.
He was immediately carried to
Thrall where his wounds were given
the very best medical attention, and
to make sure that his skull was no;
fractured he was taken over to a Tay-
lor sanitarium where an X-ray was
made which proved that no part ot
the skull was fractured.
In her going the Baptist church (
sustains a great loss. For more than
fifty years she has been a true, faith-
ful and devoted Christian. She lived
that devoted Christian life which gain. | i
ed for her the confidence of her asso-
ciates in her Christian sincerity whicn
rendered her a means of grace to her j
church and community. She was j
quiet a,nd unassuming jn her manner j
of li¥e. Her name was not seen j
much in the papers, and her kind
deeds and loving ministrations were
not heralded abroad, yet she was truly
one of the Lord's most noble women. I
Her life was a blessing and a bene- '|
diction to her neighbors. Her pres- : 3
ence as a neighbor was a great in- ; §
spiration to this writer, and made m* j |j
feel closer to the Heavenly Father. ! =
Funeral services were conducted in 1 s
the home Monday afternoon at three B
o'clock, by her pastor, in the pres- j
ence of one of the largest gatherings 1
of friends ever witnessed here at s !
funeral. The floral offering was '
simply great, a wonderful tribute to
her beautiful character.
As loved ones and friends we kno-
she is gone, but not forgotten; asleep
but not dead. Jesus said, I am the
ressurrection and the life. He tha;
believeth on me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live. The Lord said, a
is* enough come up higher, and we
believe the will of God is accomplished
and we humbly submit the will or
Him who doeth all things well.
