Mrs. W. A. Baughman Finds Quilting A Good Hobby

Aubrey (Special) - Even though Mrs. A.W. Baughman of Aubrey lives alone, she finds plenty to keep her busy. For a hobby Mrs. Baughman likes to make quilts, but she spends most of her time gardening and working for the church.
Mrs. Baughman was widowed last year, (1959). She and her husband had been married 56 years. Aubrey has been her home for the past 12 years. The couple's six children live away from home. They are A.P. Baughman of Tioga, Mrs. Stella Bush of Collinsville, A.T. Baughman of Azle, Mrs. Opal Lawrence of Fort Worth and Miss Jewell Baughman of Valparaiso, California.
Besides making quilts, Mrs. Baughman also crochets. She raises both flowers and vegetables in her gardens. She is an active member of the Aubrey Baptist Church for which she is stewardship chairman of the Woman's Missionary Union and Royal Service program chairman.
