FANNIN COUNTY’S SEMI-WEEKLY NEWSPAPER
The Bonham Herald
SEMI-WEEKLY PUBLISHED EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY

Land Utilization
Office Is Moved
To Lake Crockett
Utilization Office on the
south side of the square looks like
“some banquet hall deserted,” since
last Saturday. Every desk, every
file and everything has been moved
to Lake Crockett and housed in a
building erected there for the pur-
pose.
When Uncle Sam sets up an office
he sends along an invoice of every
frazzling thing connected with the
set up. He makes somebody sign
for them, and Mister, they better
be there when he calls for an ac-
counting, unless you can show dis-
position !
Uncle Sam furnishes typewriters
and typewriter supplies, including
carbon paper, writing paper, pens,
ink, and a thousand and one things,
even to the rubber erasers. He also
furnishes chairs, and good ones at
that, but they better be regimented
and accounted for, when one of his
men gets around to check up things.
Everything that belongs to the
Old Man is numbered. The very
desks are mtumbered, and so are the
typewriters, and everything else.
Uncle Sam has a record in Washing-
ton of the whole business, and what
you have away down in Texas is well
known in Washington.
At the new set-up at Lake Crock-
ett, Malcolm Campbell will be in
command, and Moss Longmire will
be there to assist him—nobody else,
will have a job. These two men will
have charge of all three lakes Crock-
ett, Fannin and Coffee Mill, and also
the lands incident to the three pro-
* jects, which includes the project at
Ladowia, which is in the form of sub-
marginal land.
The projects started in the mak-
ing in November, 1935, consequently
it has been functioning for nearly
five years—a long time, it is true, as
years go, and while Fannin county
is sorry to see it drawing to this
near to a close, there is none of us
but what is quite elated that we have
had it as long as we have.
BONHAM, TEXAS, MONDAY, JULY 8,1940
MARRIED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
Sunday marked the 25th wedding
anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Travis
(ti„ Lipscomb and as a complete surprise
their daughter Miss Sarah Lipscomb
T came home from Austin, Saturday
evening to share the pleasure of the
day with her parents on this occa-
sion. Also Mrs. Lipscomb’s sister
and family, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Coale
and young son came from Orange,
Texas.
The family were guests of Mr.
Lipscomb’s sisters at the old home
place during the day and it was at
this time that many friends who had
been told of the event sent quanti-
ties of lovely flowers and later called
between the hours of 4 and 6 o’clock
to add felicitations. The surprise
came in this way, Miss Sarah and
Mrs. Coale met recently at a wed-
ding in Houston and planned to have
friends come in small groups to con-
gratulate the Travis Lipscombs on
the happy occasion,. They made it
a gala day indeed for all. The home
was lovely with the summer flowers
in quantities arranged throughout
the house. The friends arriving, a
call was made for the honorees to
come home, so Mrs. Lipscomb said
she didn’t have time to powder her
nose, nor don her best bib and tuck-
er.
Judge and Mrs. Henry Cunning-
ham greeted the guests with the
members of the home. Miss Sarah
and Mrs. Coale served punch and
cookies in the dining room which had
red roses in profusion sent by Mayor
Hrdlicka. The day was a perfect one
for aj1 Miss Sarah had to leave
at return to Austin.
W7-

Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Shinpaugh of

July 21. Miss Shinpaugh is a grad-
uate of Waxahachie High School and
has attended Trinity University.
After a wedding trip to Colorado
Springs, Colo., the couple will reside
in Waxahachie,
Miss Shinpaugh spent much of her
childhood days in Bonham, when her
father and mother were citizens of
this city. Mr. Shinpaugh was a
druggist here. The bride-elect has
an aunt here, Mrs. Wendel Leeman.
DEATHS
DISTRICT COURT RECONVENES
district court reconvened this
morning, July 8, the court taking up
the civil docket. It is a time-hon-
ored custom for a large crowd to be
here the first days of district court,
even if it is after a recess, as in this
instance.
Ben Halsell
Ben Halsell, aged 58 years, died at
his home in this city the morning of
July 4, 1940. He had been in poor
health for some time but his friends
did not realize that the end was so
near. Likewise his relatives were
hardly prepared for the terrible
shock.
Ben Halsell had many friends,
From a little boy he was bright and
cheerful. He was bom on North
Pine street, the son of M. W. Halsell
and wife, a few years after the fam-
ily came to Texas from Missouri,
coming overland in wagons. Ben was
the youngest child of seven. They
were Hugh of Dallas, Charles and
W. M. of this city, Tom, deceased,
and two sisters, Miss Sue Halsell
and Mrs. Eula Owens, they also
have passed on. Of his immediate
family, Ben Halsell is survived by
his wife and two sons, Hugh Hal-
sell, Jr., of Durant, Ben Halsell, Jr.,
of Connecticut and their families.
Just a few weeks ago Mr. Halsell
sold his interest in the Halsell &
Lawrence business to Claude Stew-
art of this city, and then went with
his wife and son, Hugh, to Connecti-
cut to visit his other son, Ben, and
family. He must have had a pre-
monition, for he would not leave
here, until he had arranged his busi-
ness.
After reaching his son’s house in
Connecticut he was taken ill, and
although he had only been there a
very short while he insisted that he
return to Bonham, and the home-
ward trip was taken up, much to the
surprise of his relatives and friends
here, and regret of those whom he
was to visit in that far away state.
Truly the Messenger must have
warned him that the time was at
hand. We cannot know the day nor
hour, but often we are warned, just
as this man was, that we are soon
to pass from earth to the other
shore.
Ben Halsell was a lovable man.
In coming up the line he took a keen
interest in all sorts of sports and
loved music. He had sung for years
in the First Christian Church choir,
was song leader of Everymans Class
and he had sung on other occasions,
too numerous to mention—church
music, secular music, at the Rotary
Club, at the Lions Club, and
several times at weddings. He was
also a good chorus leader, his genial
smile and wonderful spirit at once
meeting a response from those who
were to sing, the result being a lot
of songs sung with a will and the
spirit. He will be missed in musical
circles, as well as in business and as
a useful citizen, one who took a
great interest in everything that was
for the upbuilding of the town of his
nativity, Bonham.
If any one sport was his special
hobby it was golf. He loved the
game with a devotion unbounded. He
is going to be missed on the links
and in the club house.
When Ben had finished schooling
here he went to S e w a n e e,
Tennessee, to that famous old school
there. Sewanee was a great foot-
ball center and Ben was an enthusi-
astic player on the team. As it was
a military school, he took an inter-
est in the manual of arms and was
a captain of one of the companies—
in other words, Ben was a leader in
anything lie undertook. While base-
ball was in flower here he was very
enthusiastic about it, but never
played much, if any, preferring to
stand on the side-lines and root for
the home team—loyal fan, always.
The Herald has never recorded the
death of any one it has had to part
with with more profound regret, and
the writer of this article feels that
he has lost a friend of long-standing
a friend who from childhood’s ear-
liest days would watch the “big
bays” in their games on the vacant
lots nearby on North Pine street,
and take especial delight in any-
thing of the sort, be it horse-shoes,
marbles, or baseball, or whatnot.
In business Ben always wanted to
do the right thing. ' What he said
he would do, he did:
And now to the religious side of
Ben’s life, for the best has been
saved for the last. He lived his re-
ligion and he helped many people.
He was kind and good to the unfor-
tunate, and many is the gentle deed
he has done for them, never saying
anything about it, but going on his
way, just as if it were all in the
day’s work, which it was with him,
and should be with us all. He had
been a member of the First Chris-
tian church miany years and a church
board member. He will be missed in
that church, as few ever are. His
willingness to do what ever was
asked of him endeared him to his
pastor, and to the congregation as
well. Ben has simply transferred his
membership from the church here to
the church there, and while his rela-
tives and friends grieve his passing,
there is joy in heaven over his ar-
rival, where no doubt he is singing
to some of that vast number, over
