S. F. Perry, one of the most prominent and honored citizens of Palacios, passed away at his home, Thursday, August 31st, at 9 a. m. His death came not unexpected, but for many weeks he had simply lingered in the twilight of the evening of his life. Bro. Perry was born Dec. 14th, 1835, in Chatham County, North Carolina. When a boy of nine (1844) he moved to Missouri. There he lived and received his education, the completion of which was at Magee college, a Presbyterian school, located at Macon. He started life for himself in the mercantile business, but later entered the law practice, and still later in life he took up the real estate business which he followed until he retired from an active life. In the year 1860, July 24, Bro. Perry was converted, so for nearly fifty-six years he has been a follower of Christ, whom he was not ashamed to own and to witness to his saving power. He came to Texas in 1898 and moved to Palacios soon after the townsite was laid out. Bro. Perry was the father of a large family, most of whom have preceded their father to the great beyond where they awaited his coming. Those yet remaining are John F. Perry, now serving his third term as district clerk for this county, having been elected the third time by a large majority; Guy F. Perry and James C. Perry, of the Perry Realty Co., of Palacios; Maude E. Robertson, of Groveton, Texas. John, James and Mrs. Robertson all have families who share with them their bereavement, also a host of relatives in many parts of our nation. But the one upon whom the sorrow and bereavement fell heaviest was his good wife who never tired of ministering to his every want day and night through the months of sickness. This couple has been inseparable for fifty-five long years. Sister Perry’s loneliness these days will be intense, and only the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, can sustain her. Bro. Perry was a man who took a great interest in all the affairs of life. He never lost an opportunity to express his will in public matters. Even while very ill, he was taken to the primary and while leaning upon his son’s arm he cast his sovereign vote for what he considered the best interest of his state. This he felt, and rightly so, was his duty to himself and to his fellowman. As he was faithful in his public duties he was also faithful in his religious duties. When health permitted he was found in his place at prayer meeting as well as at preaching. He said often that he enjoyed the prayer meeting as much or more than the preaching services. His religious life and rich experience was shown most during his late illness. He was constantly quoting some verse of scripture or uttering some pious expression of his own. The following were some of them, “Blessed God have mercy on me,” “Give me a peaceful hour in which to die,” “Praise the Lord, oh my soul,” Often he would say to the family and callers, “I reckon that the sufferings of this present world are not to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed to us.” He was very fond of so stating especially when he was suffering most, and it was his comfort. He would often say to his wife, “Mollie, I will soon leave you, but if you will all live right we will meet again.” Bro. Perry was never too sick to express his appreciation and thankfulness for kindness shown. Bro. Perry’s love for his family was beautiful indeed. He wanted them ever present, and when he missed them for awhile he would ask for them and say, “I feel so much better when they are all around talking.” His deep concern for them after he would leave them is shown in a short letter he wrote a few days before his death. He called all of them around his bedside and wrote the following: “To my beloved ones, wife and children, and your husband and wives, and your sweet children: You are all very dear to me in all my late sufferings. It seems you all have endeared yourselves more closely by your unceasing kindness to me in every effort to relieve my suffering. It appears our earthly relations must cease and I must soon depart to that Home beyond our vision. I loathe to leave you, but not without hope, that each one of you may live and each day get closer to God. My hope in God’s promises is strong and when I am called I will be admitted into that home prepared for God’s people. I leave many ties on earth, but I have many ties gone before. Dear children, look well after the comfort of your beloved Mother, She, too is getting old. I am sure she would be willing to do all she could for you. Live in peace with one another and with God. May God’s blessing be and remain with you all, and may we all be as one in that eternal happy Home is the hope of PAPA. 8-19,-’16. Bro. Perry’s health had not been good for over two years, so last summer, with his son James he went to Marlin to recuperate, but to no avail, and on January 19th of this year he and his wife went to visit his son John at Bay City and while there was taken sick. He returned home at once, but continued to get worse and in March it was thought his time had come. But he grew better and was able to get around in his home until July 29th when he became more serious and grew weaker from that time until his spirit quietly and peacefully took its flight just after he had fallen asleep. He got great consolation in Franklin’s words, “Death is a preparation for the living and man is not completely born until he is dead. Then he enters into real life with the immortals.” Thus believing, he died in peace. No suffering man ever had better attention from his wife and children than Bro. Perry. No sacrifice was too great for them to make and his every wish was promptly granted. The funeral services held Saturday, Sept. 2, at 10 o’clock a. m., were conducted by Rev. W. L. Shepherd, of the Presbyterian church, who spoke a few words and prayed at the home, and Rev. A. C. Gettys, pastor of the Baptist church and the writer, pastor of the M. E. Church South, (to which church the deceased belonged) who conducted services at the Methodist church. The Masonic fraternity, of which Mr. Perry was a member, escorted the remains from the home to the church and from the church to the cemetery, where they concluded the services. Scriptures read: Ps. 90 and the 15th chapter of 1 Cor. The following hymns were sung at the home, “Jesus Lover of My Soul,” “Jesus is Mine.” Those at the church and cemetery were, “Home of the Soul,” “Asleep in Jesus,” “Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned,” “Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone,” “O Think of the Home Over There.” The funeral procession was one of the largest Palacios has ever had, and the floral offerings were profuse and tastefully arranged. To the good wife, children and grand-children let me commend to you the sure mercies of God, and pray that when death comes to you, as it will, it will find you as it did our loved one and friend, ready to go. A noble citizen, a loyal follower of Christ, a good neighbor, and a most lovable father and husband has gone from us, but we weep not as those without hope, but as those who know that while he cannot come to us we may go to Him, and that will mean heaven. B. A. Myers, Pastor.

N. A. Peterson, who died at his home in this city Nov. 1, 1940, was born in Moline, Ill., Nov. 24, 1878. His parents were immigrants from Sweden and his father a man of outstanding ability served as a councilman of Moline for thirteen years. Mr. Peterson was injured some years ago in a fall while engaged at his trade and had never quite recovered his health. His death in his sleep early Friday morning was peaceful and apparently painless, and his passing removed from our community a righteous citizen, conscientious workman, a faithful friend, good neighbor and a devoted husband. Such men are the bulwark of our citizenship and the security of our state and nation. On December 5, 1907 he was united in marriage to Miss Lillian Roberts, in East Moline, who survives him beside two sisters, Mrs. Charles Hart and Mrs. Fred Pearson. Mr. and Mrs. Peterson came to Palacios, on March 14, 1936 and have made their home here ever since. He was an electrician by trade and soon became interested in doing this work after locating here. The deceased was reared in the Methodist Church but never united with any congregation, and was a frequent attendant of church services in earlier years. Funeral services for Mr. Peterson were held at 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon from the Brandon-Duffy Funeral Home, conducted by Rev. J. G. M. Ramsey pastor of the Presbyterian church. Burial was made in the Palacios cemetery, Brandon-Duffy Funeral directors in charge.

The whole community sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Phillips in the loss of their baby girl, who died Saturday evening about 6 o’clock. The funeral was conducted by Rev. M. M.

God’s plans like lilies, pure and
white, unfold.
And when at last we reach the land

Later, bystanders took him out of the car and Traversia Viola took him to his home until his grandparents arrived. The body was taken to Viola Funeral Home in West Columbia and then to Woodley-Wheeler Funeral Home in Houston. Polk was an employee of General Foods.
