"To have loved one man so de
votedly throughout one's life, to the
extent that'though he has been
dead forty-three years, still she
speaks of him as though he were
here, such is the ruling spirit In the
life of Mrs. Betty Shelton of Brown-
wood. Since f887 Mrs. Shelton has
, made her home in West Texas.

community -of Coleman eounty is

from settlers who had been forced
to give up during a drouth.

•October of that year, Mr. and Mrs.
Shelton returned to Lorena and in
November their first son, Jack, was
born. The other three boys, Joe, Ben
and Horace, were born in Coleman
county. ij
'• • "The new country, was remote in
( those days, for there were no doc-
t tors, no telephones, no post office
| within 12 miles, \nd no gin closer
| than . Brownwood,)'45 -miles away.
| When I asked Mrs. SHclVou what
her hobby was, her daughter, Annia,
spoke at once in answer, "Going to
see 'and' 'caring'fqc'her'sick'neigh'-'
bors." The whole country side was
nursed by Mrs. Shelton, and one day
the two little girls were very lonety
because she had been away with a
sick neighbor fer several days. They
took, a song book and the Bible and
wejat. out in the pasture under a
giSsquite tree, where . they went
thj-ough what they remembered at
' the usual country church service
that they attended. The main point
in the service was that they prayed
fer their mother to come home soon
because they were so lonely for her.
Town Named ‘‘Discord’’
"Some' years after the ShelMnts
moved to this community j a post
usual
place at the table,'
"As.she tells of her. early prob-
lems in' being both mother and
father to her four sons and two
girls. Mrs. Shelton says that there
was cnc guiding prirtHple that she
always kept In her mind and her
heart, which was tp carry out the
things that Mr. Shelton would have
wanted done for the children. None
of them bossed the other, but all of
them worked together. She assigned
their duties and each child per-
formed .its task. When she was left
a widow, at 32, she had 120 acres of
land. Today she has 400 acres, and
She says they have never been in I
debt, Four of tile six children have j
oo.llege degrees and the other two,
have had two-years each in college.!
"A tall; serene woman she is, whirl
deep brown eyes, a soft voice, wavy
gray hair, and a gracious manner.
At seventy-five she is ageless in her
thinking. As I listened to her talk
I realized that this wave of modern
business women was highly over-
rated in its volume for there was a
business woman with results to prove
bet ability, af my grandmother's
generation.- ...... -
"Her devotion • to-her husband and l
her success in interpreting him to |
their children are the chief impres
sions that she leaves with one that I
has the privilege of sitting in her (
presence. Her children do “rise up
and call her blessed." • -

office, was sought by the citizens. In
the course of ivents there was con-
siderable dispute about the name
until some man “in the group, with
a facetious turn of mind, sent in
"Discord” as the requestetHigmc for
the post office. The request was
granted and the place was called
“Discord.” That disturbed Mr. Shel-
ton greatly for he said no one would

gave an impression like that'. So he
got .up: a petition and succeeded in
having ‘Discord” changed to Rock-

the post office.

“I Found It Through a Dodge
Dealer's Classified Ad"
• “A Dodge dealer’s classified ad in my
newspaper led me straight to the biggest
bargain in a used truck Lever saw,” says
George Trupp, nurseryman. ‘‘It was just
the make and model 1 wanted. Spick and
span inside and out.,, And on the trial
spin, it performed like a new truck. So
Brownwood. in their first car-m | you can bet f snapped it up, especially
one afternoon, the trip was made when it was priced et least $45 below
that had required one day each way the market value. 1 knew full well that:
had required one day each
before. She said she felt like she
ought to go up to the ear and pat

“Nalycly,' Mrs. Shelton said to me,

it was a dependable truck and that 1 could
count on it being exactly as represented.
Being offered by a Dodge' dealer was
assurance enough on that score for me.
