Mr. Wm. Baer Mr. Wm. Baer was born November 28th, 1854, in Pennsylvania. Rather late in life he was married to Miss Mary Cover, also of Pennsylvania. They lived in Nebraska for a few years. About twenty-five years ago they moved to the then new town of Francitas and opened up a general merchandise store. Mrs. Baer preceded her husband in death almost 20 years. He is survived by two daughters, Mesdames Bobcock and Havlik and one grandson of Houston. Interment was made in Palacios after services were held here in our church, conducted by Bro. Metcalf. The writer having known Mr. Baer intimately for several years, can scarcely find words to express the esteem and love in which he was held. He was a member of the Christian Church and was a very conscientious Christian gentleman: a modest little man whose character seemed to grow sweeter as the years went by. Someone has said that he was the “Angel of Francitas,” meaning by that that he was one of the most unselfish men. He really would deny himself comforts to make the way easier for his neighbors.

As stated elsewhere, Mr. Page passed away on Tuesday morning, June 8, 1937. Mr. Page was born September 16th, 1885 in Platte County, Missouri, and resided there until 30 years of age. In December, 1915, he was married to Mrs. Zora B. Whitaker of Atchison, Kansas, and removed to Francitas in December, 1916 where he had lived since. Death came to Mr. Page after two months illness immediately preceding his death. He had had treatment at the cancer hospital in Weston, Mo., several months before this time. He was a member of the Methodist Church, a conscientious, helpful man. He catered not to those high up, but was ever ready to do even the menial tasks—if need be—for any one who needed him. Surviving him are his mother, three sisters and three brothers at his old home in Missouri; his wife, four step children and one son, two daughters and three grand children. Services were held at the Francitas Church conducted by Sister Cumby of Ganado. Interment was made in the Francitas Cemetery. --Contributed. Edna Weekly Herald, June 17, 1937

Good road bond issues have carried in every district in Jackson County in which they have been held except one.

Rev. L. W. Crouch was called to Francitas last Thursday to conduct the funeral services of Mr. Monroe Linton, aged 86 years, and 7 months. He was born in Warrier, Ala., and came to Texas when 18 years of age. He married Julia Ann Trewilan and to this union were born 11 children, 8 of whom remain to mourn the going of a father. The wife and helpful helpmate left this earthly tabernacle in 1894, leaving to the care of her husband these several children. Mr. Linton was a very successful farmer who lived as a law abiding citizen, a kind and courteous neighbor. He was raised in the faith of the Christian Church and lived true to its teachings. He is survived by five sons, Elonzo, of Lufkin, Sam of Byers, John D. of Groveton, Emmett of Francitas, and William of Palacios; three daughters, Mrs. Minnie Dinkins, of Walter; Mrs. Zettie Welch of Goose Creek and Mrs. Kate Parrish, of Francitas.
