Did you come to the Carancahua Pie Social last Friday night held at the Community House? If not, you missed a lot for we all had a good time with lots of homemade pie, hot coffee, popcorn and Soda pop. For just a quarter you got two huge pieces of pie and a cup of steaming coffee and that was almost all you could comfortably eat. About 150 people came from Carancahua and surrounding communities and helped swell the amount given the “March of Dimes” and when it was all over $60.00 was in the Kitty. Everyone enjoyed themselves and felt good digging deep in their jeans for dimes to help such a good cause. A few played pool, while others danced to the music of the Victrola. One table of “42” was played and some just sat and visited. And when the evening had worn on and everyone had eaten all the pie they wanted Warrie Schicke and Lloyd Frankson auctioned off the remaining half dozen pies and the bidding was spirited and a few lucky ones had pie for dinner the next day. Mrs. Susie Elliott was chairman of the “March of Dime Drive” and the pie social was sponsored by the Carancahua Home Demonstration Club.—Reporter.

Mrs. Effie Koehl Peterson was born August 30, 1896, near Huntsville, Texas, and died in Bayview Hospital in Palacios, Texas, on June 5, 1951, at the age of 54 years. She had been a resident of the Carancahua Community since 1935. On May 18, 1937, she was united in marriage with Emil Peterson of Carancahua, where she was teaching school. She has taught in Pine Prairie, Cartell, Art, and Carancahua. Mrs. Peterson is survived by her husband, Emil Peterson; one daughter, Mrs. Vernon Fitzgerald of Riverside; five step-children, Ludwig, Kenneth, Charlie, Mary Ellen, and Leta Peterson. Other survivors are her mother, Mrs. C. J. Koehl of Huntsville; two brothers, Tom and Ira Koehl, and three sisters, Miss Helen and Miss Ollie Koehl of Huntsville, and Mrs. Mary Hall of Houston; one grandson, Bill Fitzgerald III of Riverside. Mrs. Peterson joined the church at an early age and lived a consistent Christian life and was the beloved teacher of the adult class at the little union Sunday School in Carancahua. The community feels the loss of Mrs. Peterson’s passing very greatly and will miss her at the little church and Sunday School, but her influence for good and the heroic efforts, she put forth in carrying on church work, some will never forget. Tho hearts in Carancahua are filled with sorrow, we'll be a little better as we remember how valiantly she lived, hampered by a frail body and so much pain but always willing to help others. Her beautiful reed baskets lie unfinished, but she worked on them constantly even in her last days in the hospital, so that she might give them to her friends to enjoy. For many years her hands picked and arranged the flowers for our church, coming early that she might greet the first comers.
Her love of beauty, books,
flowers and poetry was so much a part of her. The Beautiful Rose of
Sharon was her favorite flower and she shared them freely with us all.
So may the blessings of God be with her dear family and to Effie we say, —Mrs. Maynard Frankson Card Of Thanks We wish to express our sincere gratitude to all our friends who offered words of condolence and lowers following the death of our beloved wife and mother, Mrs. Effie M. Peterson. We especially wish to I extend our thanks to the doctor I and all the hospital staff.
