An accident which shocked our entire city and brought sorrow to us all occurred last Friday night when Mrs. Earl Mayo met death almost instantly. She, with Mrs. Ellen Shelton, and Mrs. Peggy Martin had gone for a ride with Mrs. Shelton doing the driving and when a short distance west of town on the highway, Mrs. Mayo, who was riding on the front seat, noticed the door on her side was not closed tight. In attempting to make it so, she was thrown out of the car and received injuries which proved fatal. The ladies got her into the car as quickly as they could and rushed to Dr. Wagner’s office where aid was given, but she lived only a few minutes. Edna May, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Reynolds of this city, was born Jan. 29, 1908. She was reared here and attended the Palacios school graduating with the class of 1936. On Nov. 26, 1930 she was united in marriage to S. E. Mayo and to this union was born one daughter, Edna Earl, on March 15, 1935. Besides the grief stricken husband, baby, and her parents, she is survived by three sisters and four brothers. Services were held at the Palacios Funeral Home Sunday morning at 10 o’clock conducted by Rev. G. F. Gillespie, after which interment was made in the Palacios cemetery. Relatives and friends here included two sisters, Misses Loretta and Iva Lee Reynolds of Houston, Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Reynolds of San Antonio; Mr. and Mrs. George Reynolds of Galveston; Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Reynolds of Houston; Mrs. Albert Reynolds, of Wharton; B.

Mrs. Frances Bell Miller, nee Nash, was born in Bowne, Mich., July 2, 1869, the third of five children and the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Nash, and was the last survivor of that family. She attended school and studied music, both piano and vocal, at Bowne. When she was about seventeen years of age her parents moved to the then territory of North Dakota where they lived for a number of years. On her nineteenth birthday she was married to Milo Melville Miller at Rugby, North Dakota. Through the initiative of her father and other friends, a Presbyterian Church was organized in the community in which they lived and Mr. and Mrs. Miller, with her parents also, were charter members of this Church. While living on newly pre-empted public lands which he acquired by settlement during the presidency of Benjamin Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. Miller developed and gradually equipped a large farm. Here their four children, two sons and two daughters, were born and reared to young manhood and womanhood. In 1909 the family moved to Palacios, accompanied by Mrs. Miller’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nash, who lived out their days except for occasional visits back North in this community. Both her father and her husband were officers in the local Presbyterian Church up to the time of their respective deaths. Mr. Miller died on May 30, 1932, and Mrs. Miller almost ten years later on April 14, 1942, at the age of 72 years, 8 months, 12 days. It was in and through the Church that Mrs. Miller made some of her most valued and enduring contributions to the life of our community. Her most faithful service in the latter years has been in the Careful Gleaners Sunday School class of which she has been the president for many years. To this class and its program of service she has given most devoted and untiring labor, year by year, plotting a program of activity and study and preparing by hand the year book, a copy of which she made for each member of the class. So devoted were the membership of this class to their leader that each year, over her repeated protests she was re-elected its president. As pastor the observation has been often made that this class was permeated by her gifted personality, so much so that now it is confronted with a challenge to new leadership that will be a genuine test of its endurance. Surely some member of this class will be found courageous enough to respond to the call of God to carry on in this service. Surviving her today are the four children, all present, Roland James Miller, Houston; Mrs. Ethlyn Verle Curtis, Palacios; Milo Glenn Miller, Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Mrs. (O. C.) Frances Dell Arnold, Palacios, and five grandsons and three granddaughters. Funeral services were held at the First Presbyterian Church, Wednesday, April 15th, Rev. J. G. M. Ramsey officiating. Burial was made in the Palacios Cemetery under the direction of the Palacios Funeral Home. –J. G. M. R.

August Mosier born July 4, 1861, at old Indianola, died at his home in Palacios, March 20, 1940. Although born in Texas his early life was spent elsewhere and he was living in New Orleans, when the town of his birth was practically swept away by a hurricane. He also lived in Mexico and spent five years in the border country before returning to Texas to make his home. In 1901 he came to Palacios and was here during the very early days of our city, assisting in laying out the streets and much of the other work done by the Townsite Company. He was employed at Hotel Palacios for a number of years when his hostelry was enjoying its most popular and successful days. On October 12, 1910 he was united in marriage to Miss Elsie Schicke, and to this union were born five children, three sons, Rudolph, Edwin and August Jr., and two daughters, Mrs. Clara Hicks and Anna Mae. Besides the wife and children, three grandsons, survive, one brother, Julius Mosier, of Midfield, two nieces and two nephews. In early life Mr. Mosier was converted in the Methodist Church, but later united with the First Christian Church in Palacios. He lived a quiet unassuming life, devoted to his family and followed the teachings of his Lord and Master most faithfully. Fraternally he had been a member of the W. O. W. for 44 years. During the past few years Mr. Mosier had been in failing health which had prevented his doing any very active work, but he never lost interest in church and civic activities. During the past few weeks his condition became worse and his peacefully passing on last Wednesday morning was not unexpected. He was ready and willing to answer the summons. Funeral services were held for the departed Thursday afternoon at the Palacios Funeral Home conducted by Rev. G. F. Gillespie, and interment made in the Palacios Cemetery under the direction of the Palacios Funeral Home. Relatives here for the funeral of Mr. Mosier were Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Lonquet, of Liverpool; Henry Smith and family, Abraham Smith, of Midfield, Otto and Alfred Frick, of Markham.
