The remains of Mr. A. W. Haynes, who committed suicide on his farm at Carancahua last Friday morning, were brought to the city that afternoon by undertaker Rittenhouse and embalmed. Funeral services were held at the family home in this city Monday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock, conducted by Rev. Israel, pastor of the Baptist Church, followed by interment at the city cemetery. Deceased was about 51 years of age. Brooding over unfavorable business affairs and financial reverses, resulting in mental aberration, is supposed to have been the cause which led to the deplorable act. The deceased leaves his wife and two daughters, Mrs. Otto Kluth, of Carancahua, and Miss Carrie Haynes, who is with her mother, and a son in another state, to mourn his loss. Mr. Haynes was well known in the city and the Carancahua neighborhood as an active, energetic worker and a progressive business man, and to all who knew him the news of his death came as a great shock and surprise. In their sudden and trying bereavement the family have the sincere sympathy of all. Palacios Beacon, July 5, 1912 Mr. A. W. Haynes Found Dead on His Farm Near Carancahua Mr. A. W. Haynes, a well known farmer near Carancahua was found dead on his farm some time last night or early this morning with a knife sticking in his neck. The family home is in town where Mrs. Haynes and the youngest daughter reside, but Mr. Haynes spent his time on the farm with his oldest daughter, Mrs. Otto Kluth, whose husband is operating the farm. Undertaker Rittenhouse and coroner Willis went to Carancahua this afternoon to hold an inquest and prepare the remains for burial. If this was a case of suicide, the cause is not known. Mr. Haynes had been an active and successful farmer, and his crops were among the best in the neighborhood. If it is suicide, as supposed, it must have resulted from some temporary mental aberration. News of the distressing happening reached the Beacon just as it was going to press to-day, hence our information is very meager, and this is all we could learn concerning the matter. In their sudden distress the family have the sympathy of all our people.

Gilbert Hultquist was born in Nebraska May 21, 1889, and came to Jackson County as a child with his parents. Here he lived until his enlistment into the army during World War I.

James Pershing Hurt, Sr., of Ganado, passed away Monday, June 20, 2011. He was born April 3, 1918, in Seagoville, Texas to the late Thomas Calvin Hurt, Sr. and Mattie Pearl Hanes Hurt. Jim was a devoted husband father, and grandfather. He loved the Lord Jesus Christ and was a longtime member of First Baptist Church of Ganado. He was a patriot, a World War II veteran serving as a heavy machine-gunner in the United States Army’s 41st “Jungleer” Infantry Division. Jim fought in the campaigns for New Guinea and the islands leading to the liberation of the Philippines. He was awarded the American Defense Ribbon, Asiatic Pacific Ribbon, and Good Conduct Medal for his service. He was a Master Mason and a member of the Grand Lodge of Texas for over 60 years. He loved his country and the ideals on which she was founded and was honored to have served in her defense. He is a member of what is commonly called “The Greatest Generation.” The “Greatest Generation” is made up of those who grew up in the United States during the deprivation of the Great Depression, and then went on to fight in World War II. Many believe that this was the greatest generation any society has ever produced. They fought not for fame and recognition, but because it was the right thing to do. When they came back from the war they rebuilt America into the greatest superpower and bastion of freedom and religious liberty the world has ever known. Jim embodied the traits of the generation of which he was a member. He always did things because “it was the right thing to do.” He was an honest man, a gentle man, a good man, a role model and hero in the best sense of the words. He is survived by daughter, Beverly and husband, Jimmy Greenawalt of Ganado; sons, James P. and wife, Kay Hurt of Edna, John P. and wife, Debbie Hurt and Gene A. and wife, Susan Hurt, both of Ganado; seven grandchildren, Norman Hurt, Chad and Juli Hurt, Brad and Amy Hurt, Mark Greenawalt, Bryan and Shelby Hurt, Brittany and Heath Bures, and Amy and Tony Montes; and nine great-grandchildren, Logan Hurt, Riley Hurt, Jaxyn Bures, Saylor Bures, Beau Bures, Hannah Montes, Matthew Montes, Jack Hurt, and Avery Sulak.
