He was owner of the Lancaster Sales Company, leasing contractors, and was a member of the Methodist Church. He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. T. H. McCleary, both of Houston; three sons, Alden Lancaster of Corpus Christi, William M. Lancaster of Houston, and Dr. York Lancaster of San Marcos, and three brothers, Lewis K. Lancaster and Lifford W. Lancaster, both of Ganado, and Dr. Frank H. Lancaster of Houston. Funeral services 10 a. m. Thursday at the Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, with Rev. Herman T. Morgan officiating. Cremation. Ashes to be placed in Forest Park Mausoleum.—The Houston… The above brief mention of the death of Moore Lancaster of Houston, a former well known and popular citizen of Ganado, will be read with deep regret by many Ganado and Edna citizens, who knew him as a young man. Friends here were not aware of the fact that he had not been enjoying good health of late, hence the news of his passing was a shock to them. Moore Lancaster was the oldest child of the late Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Lancaster, prominent and long-time residents of Ganado. He was born at Lockhart, but moved to Ganado with his parents and other members of his family more than forty years ago. While a resident of Ganado, he was united in marriage to Miss Minnie Lee York, a native of Jackson County and a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Shube York, esteemed pioneer residents of this section. Soon after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster moved to Houston where he entered business and where they reared their children. While we had not had the privilege of meeting our boyhood friend for more than thirty years, we remember him as a jovial, friendly, upstanding, clean-living young man; one who always stood for the higher and nobler things that really made life worth while. Moore Lancaster was a likable man and naturally enjoyed a wide circle of friends who were grieved to learn of his passing. The Herald joins the other friends of the bereaved ones in extending heartfelt sympathy.

She was a most devoted and loving wife and mother, ever doing her duty and more than her duty in the family circle; was ever cheerful, hopeful and helpful. That she was loved and honored by her neighbors was evidenced by the fact that almost the entire population of the neighborhood came to pay the tributes of their love and esteem. Mrs. Linquist was the mother of fourteen children, two of whom preceded her to the Great Beyond. Three, Albert, Roy and Mae are still at home, the others being widely scattered, one in Canada, one in Montana, one in Iowa, one in North Dakota, one in Wisconsin and the others in Minnesota. While Mrs. Linquist had not been very strong for years, it was only very recently that her condition was considered at all serious. She was taken to Bay City Friday when an operation was performed, but all loving hands and hearts and medical skill could do availed not, and she quietly went to sleep Monday. The remains, accompanied by husband and daughter, were brought to Palacios and interment made in the Palacios cemetery. Rev.

Daily Tribune, October 1986 Football Injury Fatal For PHS Athlete Chris Loff Seventeen-year-old Christopher Arvid Loff, a senior at Palacios High School, died Saturday afternoon at Hermann Hospital in Houston after suffering a brain hemorrhage during Friday’s varsity football game in Sweeny. Loff, who was a starting defensive cornerback and reserve quarterback for the Sharks, collapsed on the sideline early in the second half, and was initially taken for emergency treatment to Sweeny Community Hospital. He was then lifeflighted to Hermann Hospital in severe condition. The Palacios athlete was placed on life support systems in the early morning in an effort to sustain vital signs. He died at approximately 2:30 p. m. Saturday. His organs were donated for transplants. Palacios ISD superintendent Bill Reaves said that according to doctors at Hermann Hospital, the cause of death was due to a brain hemorrhage involving two blood vessels. Although Loff had suffered a head injury last season, Reaves said that doctors indicated that Friday’s hemorrhaging was apparently not related to any previous injury. Reaves, who had been at Friday’s game had gone to Hermann Hospital when the Palacios youth was lifeflighted, said he had remained in constant contact with both the physicians and the youth’s family. He said he had requested that information to the press concerning the death be released through his office to avoid the emotional stress on students, teachers and the youth’s family. “We don’t know how or when it (the injury) occurred, we just don’t know that for sure,” Reaves commented. He said that the Shark coaches had viewed Friday’s game films several times and were unable to see any play where Loff may have been injured. Coaches at Sweeny High School were also unable to detect any signs of any injury in their game film Reaves said that based on information he had received from coaches and others at the scene, Loff had come off the field shortly after the start of the third quarter and complained of extreme headaches. Reaves said the youth then collapsed on the sidelines. Although he was conscious briefly, the superintendent said Loff had fallen unconscious by the time emergency medical crews crossed the field. Loff was then taken across the field on a stretcher and rushed by ambulance to the Sweeny hospital. Reaves said that initial reports from the Sweeny hospital indicted that the youth had suffered a severe spinal cord injury, but those reports proved to be incorrect. He was then life flighted to Hermann Hospital were doctors told family and school officials that Loff had suffered a brain hemorrhage. He was placed on life support systems in the intensive care unit. The 17-year-old senior had received a head injury last season. Reaves, however said Hermann doctors told school coaches and Loff’s family that there was apparently no relationship between the two injuries. Reaves said he has no information on the autopsy performed. Because of his previous injury, Reaves said, “everyone was very cautious about his playing this year.” The youth was advised by his family and school officials to discontinue football after being sidelined for most of last season after having received a concussion. According to Reaves, Loff was adamant about playing this year and was allowed to do so after obtaining a doctor’s release. Loff had played football since junior high school and also participated in high school baseball earlier in the year.

James R. “Jimmy” Love went to be with his Lord and Savior on November 11, 2021. Jimmy was born in Springfield, Illinois on April 5, 1952. He is preceded in death by his father, James Richard Love of Edna, his mother Joyce Williams, and brothers Robert L. (Bobby) Love and Larry W. Love. Jimmy is survived by his daughter Lisa Lemley (David) and son James R. Love Jr. “Jimbob,” grandchildren Madison, David Jr., Dawson, Dray, and Meagan Lemley and Cole Love as well as his brothers Ricky Love and Ronnie Tipton, sisters Sandy (Love) Meador and Deborah Spencer, and numerous nieces, nephews, and their children, all of whom he adored. Jimmy was best known as “Daddy” and “Pawpaw,” a humble man, content with life just as he lived. He always worked hard and provided for his family. He loved with all his heart and would never hesitate to give if someone had a need. He was a very genuine person, and if you had the privilege to meet him or know him, you loved him. He enjoyed being outside, fishing, riding ATV’s and spending quality time with his family. We rejoice because when he entered Heaven, he was met with an infinite amount of love, even more than he had here on Earth, and rather than say goodbye, we say, “see you soon!” A private service and celebration of life will be held by his family on Friday, November 26.

Ganado--Tragedy struck a family late Sunday afternoon about 6;30 o'clock when Ernest Ludwig received third degree burns at his home in the Little Kentucky community about 14 miles east of Ganado. Mr. Ludwig went to the chicken house to see about a kerosene brooder, and it exploded. He was never able to tell the family just what happened. His face and body caught the full blast of the explosion. His clothing was practically burned off. He was rushed to the Mauritz Memorial-Jackson County Hospital, where he died Monday morning at 3. All of the Ludwig children had been home for the day, and had just left. No one was home at the time except he and Mrs. Ludwig. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Wheeler Funeral Home in El Campo with burial in the Ganado Cemetery. Survivors are his widow, two children, Forrest of Ganado and Aileen of Beeville, and five step children.

In 1971, after his dad passed away, he and his mom moved to Sweeny. Across from his new home was a bakery where he went to buy sweets. When he walked in, he saw the love of his life, Mary Lou. He would come into the bakery often but he was really there to pursue his love interest. With her lists of “don’t’s” she agreed to go out on a date with him. From their first kiss, they both knew it was meant to be. Ronnie and Mary Lou just celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary in June of 2023. After working in the oilfield for several years, he accepted Christ in the beginning of 1975. He felt called to the life of ministry in 1980 and just began his 10th year preaching at Morales Baptist Church, in Morales. After he and Mary Lou retired from Lynn Engineering in 2018, he enjoyed spending time with Mary Lou, preaching, mowing grass, and took care of anything and everything his grandchildren needed help with. He was also the designated maintenance man on the Lynn Compound. Ron was a caring, honest, God-loving man. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers Gerald Lynn, Bobby Lynn and Dennis Lynn.
