Edward Gordon Adkins was born in Yazoo, Miss., Feb. 22, 1864 and died at his home in Palacios, Sept. 17, 1932, aged 69 years, 6 months and 26 days. His early boyhood was spent in old Indianola and he was there during the 1875 and 1886 storms. Mr. Adkins was employed in the Life Saving Service at Saluria Island for seven years, going from there to Port Lavaca, where he resided until 1904, when he moved with his family to Palacios and continued to make this city his home. He had been in failing health several years and for the past two years almost an invalid. Hoping a change would help him, he went to the home of his daughters, Mrs. I. H. Dunbar at Refugio, in August of last year where he spent nine months and for a while was at the Spohn Hospital in Corpus Christi. He then went to Dallas and spent three months with his other daughter, Mrs. E. M. Deterly, returning to Palacios July 15, of this year. The first two weeks at home he seemed to improve, but a stroke of paralysis caused a relapse and from then on his condition grew gradually worse until Saturday at 12:25 p. m. when death released him from all earthly pain. The deceased united with the Presbyterian Church at Refugio in August, 1931. He was familiarly known as Captain Adkins and had many friends who enjoyed hearing him tell of early days on the Texas Coast. Funeral services were held at the home Sunday at 4 p. m., conducted by Rev. G. F. Gillespie of the Presbyterian Church. Burial took place in the city cemetery, under the direction of Duffy and Rittenhouse Undertaking Company. Surviving relatives are the wife, Mrs. N. S. Adkins, daughters, Mrs. E. M. Deterly and Mrs. I. H. Dunbar, and three grand-children, Earl Deterly Jr., Alma and Laverne Dunbar. Out-of-town guests for the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Deterly, Dallas, Texas; Mr. and Mrs. I. H. Dunbar, Misses Alma and Laverne Dunbar, Refugio, Texas; Mrs. George Gordon, Alvin, Texas; Mr. and Mrs. Ervin LaBauve and children and Mrs. Dallas Brown, Edna, Texas; Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Bailey and daughter, Mrs. Gene Bordgette and son, Mr. C. H. Dunbar, Galveston, Texas and Mr. Thompson Gyle, Ashby, Texas.

Percy Ernest Alexander, 64, was electrocuted about 5:45 P. M. Wednesday as he came in contact with an electrically charged fence. A rural electric line broke, falling across a high-voltage line and as it fell it made contact with the fence surrounding a pasture belonging to Pat Richman. Almost instantaneously grass was ignited along the entire fence line. It is presumed, Mr. Alexander seeing the fire start, had taken a bucket of water and feed sack to put out the fire across the road from his home and as he came in contact with the fence he was electrocuted. Local firemen who had been called to the fire administered artificial respiration for some 20 or 30 minutes before a doctor arrived, but to no avail. Funeral arrangements are awaiting word from relatives in California. [No additional obituary was found.]

Joint funeral services for Harley Davidson Allen, 31, and Charles Eikenberg, 26, victims of a tragic airplane crash January 7, were held at the First Baptist Church here Monday afternoon. Bodies of the two well-known Palacios men were found about two weeks after the fatal crash, which occurred as they were returning to Palacios from Matagorda Island. Mr. Allen’s body was spotted in the searchlight beams of the tug Phillip Arthur by Captain Roy Smith of Sweeny at about midnight Saturday. The body was found floating in the Intracoastal Canal about three miles west of the west shore line of the mainland near buoy No. 10. It was taken to Matagorda. Mr. Eikenberg’s body was discovered Sunday afternoon about 300 feet from the spot where Captain Smith found Mr. Allen’s body. A diver had to be sent down in seven feet of water to release a safety belt which was holding the body in the wreckage of the plane. Mr. Eikenberg’s body was taken to Port O’Connor. Justice of the Peace W. T. Cox of Bay City held an inquest and returned a verdict of accidental death. An intensive search for the two missing flyers was begun January 8. The next day bits of wreckage of the plane were found near the point where the Intracoastal Canal enters Matagorda Bay. A wheel and several other parts were found there and definitely identified as coming from the plane owned and piloted by Mr. Allen. After that small bits of wreckage were found scattered over a wide area in that vicinity and as far away as Wells Point. Rev. Rayford Harris and Rev. Wesley Schulze officiated at the services. Pallbearers for Mr. Allen were Orin Turner, Price Barnett, Walter Kilgore, Howard Carroll, Kenneth Waring, and Delano Carter. For Mr. Eikenberg pallbearers were Jack Maddox, Paul Highberg, Rufus Robertson, Norman Fields, Arl Hunt, and Leonard Kunefke.

The child grew, became a man and lived his life much the same as other men. At the age of 12 years, he with his parents moved to Oklahoma and in due time he met and was married to Miss Elizabeth Norton on August 17, 1913. This home was blessed with five children all of whom have grown up among the people of Palacios where they moved in 1927. By faithful toil he and his wife provided means and have seen the children one by one finish high school, become Christians and develop into noble young men and women. The two youngest twins, had just finished high school and were preparing to begin work among their fellowmen, when as tho’ the day’s work was finished, the father sat down at noon, May 27, closed his eyes and fell asleep. Although his passing has brought grief to the family and friends he was spared long enough to accomplish his life’s work and to prepare for another life. He became a Christian in early life and retained his faith in his Savior.

Mary Jane Shoemaker was born in Pecks Run, West Va., Dec. 25, 1858, and died at her home in this city, August 20, 1927. She was married to Floyd P. Arnold, Jan. 16, 1876, who with the three children, O. C. Arnold, of Palacios; Mrs. Lillian Martino, of San Antonio; and Mrs. Lura Sartwelle, of Houston; survive. In early girlhood she was converted and joined the Baptist church, but later united with the United Brethren, and constantly practiced the teachings of her Master, sweet and humble in manner, friendly toward all and never an unkind word for anyone. She loved her Bible and as long as eyesight permitted was a diligent reader. In 1909 Mr. and Mrs. Arnold, with their family, moved to Palacios from Kansas and during these years she formed many close friends. Her general health prevented her mingling with people very much but all who came in contact with her learned to love her and admire her for her many excellent traits of character and in the words of the poet we feel we can say, “to know her was to love her,” so aptly did it fit. She was a devoted wife and mother. Funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock, conducted by Rev. G. F. Gillespie, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, and remains were interred in City Cemetery.

Relatives and friends gathered at the Palacios Funeral Home Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock when services for Oscar Clarence Arnold were held with Rev. Robt. M. McGehee, pastor of the Presbyterian Church in charge, assisted by Rev. L. W. Crouch and Rev. Geo. F. Gillespie. Mr. Arnold, who was born November 18, 1876 and died at his home here Friday, April 20, 1945, had been ill for many months and his passing was not unexpected, yet a feeling of sadness came over us all, when it was known that he had entered his last sleep on this earth. We had known Mr. Arnold ever since coming to Palacios in 1919 and his visits to our office were almost daily during our first years after taking over the Beacon. We learned how to know him as a friend and helper, one who enjoyed being your neighbor and counselor. We have missed his cordial greetings the past few years since his health became such that he could not do the things he had so often done to help his fellowman. Mr. Arnold loved the finer things in life, good music, good books and good friends. Drawing and painting were his hobbies and with these he spent much of the time, especially during his later years. The mast head which the Beacon has carried many years was drawn by Mr. Arnold shortly after our taking it over in June 1919. He was a baker by trade and his artistic nature was displayed in many of the confections he produced. Palacios has not only lost another one of its pioneers, but one who was always interested in its growth, civic and church life, ready at all times to do his part, and the entire community mourns the passing of a true and loyal citizen. Surviving are his devoted wife, Dell M. Arnold, and two sisters, Mrs. G. Martino, of El Campo, and Mrs. J. W. Sartwelle, of Houston, and to those we extend our heartfelt sympathy. A TRIBUTE Last Friday in the early morning the Lord seemed to say, “Oscar put away your brushes and paints and come up here with me. You have done quite well with that which you had to work but I will give you the desire of your heart. You can now paint the perfect picture; the one you have so often longed to paint.” And so as always humbly and modestly he obeyed the summons and went to study under the Master Painter, the one who painted the rosebuds of our gardens, the daisies of the hillside, the lilies of the valley. If one had asked Mr. Arnold about his own life, he no doubt would have quietly answered like Jacob of Old, “Few and evil have been the days of the years of my pilgrimage,” but in his case surely it was not so, for long and rich and fruitful had been the life of this, our friend. He was born in West Virginia and spent his early life there but later he came to Texas and in 1908 to Palacios where he went into business. During his active life he took a leading part in all worthy civic projects as well as giving himself unreservedly to his Church. It was during these years too, that he took up painting which became a sort of a hobby with him and as can readily be seen from his works he became quite skilled in this art which was so dear to his heart. As we think of the Man himself, we know that ever and always he had an unselfish interest in the welfare of that host whom he called his friends, regardless of race or color. In his own unassuming way he tried to lift someone’s burden, one’s heart with a kindly word of encouragement. We know too that during all of his extended illness he never once became morose, despondent, rebellious, but with a submissive spirit he gave his best to serve others. Not only will his faithful companion feel deeply the loss brought about by his going but every citizen among us will soon realize that a noble soul has gone.—A Friend.
