Many were the hearts saddened by the untimely going of Elizabeth Rogers Schaal on April 2nd. Beth, as she was fondly called by her friends was born Oct. 28, 1921, in Palacios, and lived here practically all of her life. She attended the public school here from which she graduated, and then attended Texas A. & I. at Kingsville, receiving her B. A. degree.

Soon afterwards they were transferred to Sioux City, Iowa, where they maintained a happy little home until Captain Schaal was sent overseas. On his return they made their home in Palacios, where Beth was teaching in the elementary school.

Mrs. Schaal was a consecrated Christian girl, serving her Lord through His Church as best she could. She became a member of the First Baptist Church of Palacios when she was about 14 years of age and for several years she was a teacher in the Sunday School of her church. She was a member of the Eastern Star holding an important office in that organization. She also worked with the Girl Scouts as a leader and was deeply loved by them.

Survivors are her husband, A. R. Schaal, parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Rogers, two brothers, Truitt and Joe Rogers and one grandmother, Mrs. N. J. Walker. These and other relatives and friends are deeply grieved at her passing and to them we extend heartfelt sympathy.

Burial was made in the Palacios Cemetery under the direction of the Palacios Funeral Home, with Mesrs. R. P. Newsom, W. E. Sullivan, T. E. Friery, F. E. Smith, A. N. Fals and John C.
