Last Friday night at 12:00 the death of Tipton Thompson occurred at the home of his son, J. W. Thompson, some three miles northwest of town. The funeral was conducted Saturday at 4:00 PM by Elder C. E. Moore at the Mills Cemetery where interment was made.
Mr. Thompson was born in Logansport, Indiana, September 22, 1831. This is where he grew to manhood. In 1851 he moved to California; remaining there several years. He was married on April 5, 1858 to Evaline Coon, in whom he found a faithful, loving and devoted companion for 50 years and one week. In 1879 the Tipton Thompson Family came to Texas remaining until Tipton's death, April 10, 1908.
Mr. Thompson was an industrious and honorable man with high ideals of life and hence he made many friends because he was a friend to many. He became a Christian in 1856 and at no time did he shrink from following faithfully in his Master's Service and was rewarded with a happy, peaceful life.
Tipton and Evaline were blessed with seven children, and a number of grandchildren, who live to mourn his departure. Thus a happy family is separated. This is the lot of man in this world, "The ages of sin is death but the gift of god is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord." May he have attained the biblical ideal in his going. We extend the family our sincere sympathy. | THOMPSON, Tipton (I8934)

On October 28, the Death Angel visited the house of Mrs. R.A. Poovey and took from her her loving husband. He was 83 years of age. He came from South Carolina in 1847, was married to Sarah Ann Welch and made his home near Zion Hill, where he had lived for 56 years.
He united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church in South Carolina at the age of 15. He loved his church and was thoroughly concentrated to all the obligations it imposed and was never known to respond to its calls [sic]. He uttered prayers as long as he was able to speak, and was always ready and willing to testify for his Saviour, but for many years he was unable to attend church services. We have a vacant chair in our home and we miss his sweet smiles, but God knows best and earth's loss is Heaven's gain. Mr. Poovey had a smile for everyone he came in contact with.
For years he had been confined to his home but he bore his suffering without a word of complaint. He loved his home and children and was never too tired when his day's work was over to take his children upon his knee and sing to them from the old hymn book. All that his loving hands could do was done, but God knew best, so He took him home to Heaven to sing with the angels.
Mr. Poovey left to mourn his death, his wife, one brother, one sister, eight children, thirty-four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
His body was laid to rest at Pine Grove, October 30. Funeral services were conducted by Re. Cates. --Ruth. | POOVEY, Robert Alexander (I6885)

Mrs. N. J. Baker aged 75 years and 6 months died last Friday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W.H. Morris, about three miles from Cleburne on the new Alvarado road.
Mrs. Baker was a native of Texas having been born at Nacogdoches on Aug. 1, 1854. She moved to Hood county with her parents when an infant, and grew to young womanhood there. On March 11, 1869 , at the tender age of 14 years she was united in marriage to D.M. Baker, then a courageous young man of 18 years. To this union were born eight children, four sons, and four daughters all of whom survive except one daughter who died a few years ago. Mrs Bakers husband, the idol of her heart, preceded her in death by one year and four months.
She moved to Somervell county in 1906 with her husband, and resided on their farm until 1922 when they moved to Terrell to live with a daughter , Mrs. B. F. Thomas, who lived only five months after their arrival. They then moved to Cleburne and made their home at 106 North Allen street, where they resided until the death of her companion. Since that time she has made her home with her son, T. D. Baker. Who resides three miles north of Walnut Springs. Mrs Baker was always kind gentle and patient. On the morning of Feb. 6th she remarked to her son "I must go to Cleburne." The family was surprised and wondered at this statement, as she had never expressed any desire to go anywhere before and she seemed so serious about it on this occasion. Her son made preparations promptly to comply with her wishes. Soon after arriving at her destination she was taken seriously ill with heart trouble and passed away a week later, Fri. morn at 2:50 o'clock she was a devoted Christian and a firm believer in God whom she trusted. She was of the Petecostal faith and passed from this life calling on the name of Jesus.
She had all of her plans made and was ready for the journey she was to make soon. She spoke of the beauties of Heaven and the rest for the tired hands and weary heart. Mrs. Baker also spoke of her dear companion as she had seen him in a vision fo clean hands and feet, and the garments so clean and pure and the smile of heaven on his face. This vision she had before leaving her home for the trip to Cleburne. In her last hrs she said "he said he would come back for me" the eyes are closed, the hands are folded the dear heart is stilled, the loving voice will be heard no more. But we know her sweet humble spirit will ever be near to guide those she loved so much.
Survived by a sister, Mrs. Delia Garretson, of Granite, Okla; and seven children, J.W. Baker, Rotan, T D Baker, Walnut Springs; C K Baker, Kimble; Mrs J.A. Dunn, Greenfield, Okla; Mrs W H Morris, Cleburne; Mrs Madell Morris, Walnut Springs, and a number of grandchildren, and great grandchildren, besides a host of friends and neighbors all of whom mourn her death.
