Jeter, for many years a citizen of Bay City and a man of integrity and good standing, died at his home in North Bay City Friday night, at the age of 55 years, 5 months and 27 days. The funeral has been arranged for Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock from the Baptist Church, with the religious services under the direction of his pastor, Rev. Odis Rainer. The funeral will be under the direction of Walker-Matchett. There are surviving, the wife, one son, William, of Houston, and three daughters, Misses Vadis, Leola and Francis. Also one sister, who resides in Holland, Texas. Mr. Jeter became a citizen of Bay City many years ago. He was at various times interested in farming and merchandising. He also served the city as alderman and the county as tax assessor. He was possessed of many friends wherever he was known, whom the Tribune joins in an expression of sympathy for the loved ones left to sorrow in the loss of husband and father.

W. B. Knowles  W. B. Knowles Our community lost one of its oldest and most loved citizens in the death of Mr. W. B. Knowles, which occurred in Houston on Saturday, December 8th, where he had gone for an operation which proved too great a shock for him at his age, 83 years. His remains were brought to Bay City on Monday and laid to rest in Cedarvale cemetery by the side of his wife who preceded him seven years ago Mr. Knowles was born n Alabama on October 5th, 1845, and came to Texas with his parents when ___ 8 years old and has lived in Matagorda county since 1902, making his home in Markham for the past eight years. He was married in 1873 to Miss Dollie Pettis, who died Nov. __, 1921. Mr. Knowles is survived by his only son, Mr. W. R. Knowles, and wife of Markham, and one brother, of Rutherford, Calif., all of whom were with him in his last illness. "Uncle Bill," as he was affectionately called by his friends, and always led a very active life, and was remarkably preserved for a man of his years, being confined at home for only a short while before his death; and his cheery ways and jolly face will be missed by many friends and neighbors. We wish to extend sympathy to the bereaved son and wife, and [remainder illegible].
