I 0.&eded the Q¥iet I needed the quiet so He drew me aside Into the shadows where we could confide. Away from the bustle where all the day long, I hurried and worried when active and strong.

I needed the quiet though at first I rebelled. But gently, so gently, my cross He upheld. And whispered so sweetly of spiritual things, Though weakened in body, my spirit took wings, To heights never dreamed of when active and gay, He loved me so gently He drew me away.

I needed the quiet, no prisonmy bed, But a beautiful valley of blessings instead, A place to grow richer, in Jesus to hide, I needed the quiet so He drew me aside.

THE INDIAN'S 23rd PSALM

The great father above is a shepherd chief, I am his and with him I want not. He throws out to me a rope, the name of the rope is love, he draws me and he draws me, and he draws me to where the grass is green and the water is not dangerous; and I eat and drink and lie down satisfied. Sometimes my heart is very weak and falls down, but he lifts it up again, and draws me into a good road. His name is wonderful. Sometimes it may be a long, long time, He will draw me into a place between mountains, it is dark there, but I will pull back not. I will be afraid not, for it is there between those mountains that the shepherd chief will meet me. And the hunger I have felt in my heart all through this life will be satisfied. Sometimes he makes the love rope into a whip, but afterwards he gives me a staff to lean on. He spreads a table before me with all kinds of food. He puts his hands upon my head, all the "Tired" is gone. My Cup he fills till it runs over. What I Tell you is true - I lie not. These roads that are away ahead will stay with me through this life, and afterward I will go to live in the "Big Tepee", and sit down with the shepherd chief forever.

TO THOSE I LOVE AND THOSE WHO LOVE ME

When I am gone, release me, let me go I have so many things to see and do

You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave you much love, you can only guess How much you gave me in happiness.

I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time I traveled on alone.

Shooting Victim Dead By Diana Baldwin

RATLIFF CITY- An argument over a hotograph with the manager of a night­lub here apparently led to the fatal shoot­

ing of an Elmore City man Tuesday night .

Vernon Prince, 34, was apparently shot six times in the chest and arm, Carter County sheriff Robert Denney said.

A second man, Teddy Beard, 20, Ratliff ICity, was hit twice in the cross fire as he sat Ips an innocent bystander.

Beard is listed in good condition at an Ardmore hospital with a gunshot wound to his right arm. A second bullet grazed the top of the man's head.

First degree murder charges are pend­ing in Carter County District Court against Ralph Sanchez, 32, Ratliff City.

Sanchez is the manager of the Log Cabin, where the incident took place.

Just after 8 Tuesday night, Prince and Sanchez apparently got into an argument

over a photograph of Prince with his arm around Sanchez's girl friend , Denney said.

Sanchez demanded that Prince hand over the photograph and Prince denied hflving it, the sheriff said.

Later Prince walked up to a: table where ard, Sanchez, his girl friend and his

other were sitting, drew a pistol and be­g n firing, Denney said.

Sanchez told law enforcement officials h remembered Prince only firing once be-

fore he began shooting.

During the incident, both Prince and Sanchez each fired six times.

Law enforcement officials speculate Prince was responsible for shooting Beard.

Sanchez allegedly fired a shot and hit" Prince in the arm.

Prince apparently fell to the floor and Sanchez walked over to him and allegedly fired five more times, Denney said.

~ -(J)bituaty-~ On February 19, 1938, Levi Richardson, affectionately known as "LV" was born to Josie Franks and Matthew Williams in Elmore City, Oklahoma where he grew up and attended Mt. Zion School. In the early 1950's, the family moved from Elmore City to Duncan, Oklahoma. At an early age, "LV" realized that in order to have the things in life you need, you "MUST" work. He felt that you should always do your very best at whatever job you had. He did not believe in being late for work. These are some of the charac­teristics that made him such a loyal and faithful employee to the Carl Campbell Chevrolet Company, of Duncan for more than 20 years. He also worked for 5 years for Halliburton Services and Battison Automotive. Hearing the Gospel preached, he accepted jesus as his Lord and Savior and was baptized in jesus' name and filled with the Holy Ghost and became a dedicated member of the True Gospel Tabernacle Church, of Duncan. "LV" loved a nice car and he always kept them looking good. No matter how old the car, he made it look like new. His family because of the care and compassion he gave them will lovingly miss him. In addition, the people of this com­munity, who have come to know him when you saw him-he was always waving, will miss him. If you did not see him­you would sure hear him as he blew his car horn and gave out -that UNMISTATABLE WHISTLE. . On Thursday morning, March 30, 2000 our Daddy, Pops, The Old man, Papa, Brother, Uncle ''V'', Cuz, and Friend went home to be with the Lord. Bis parents, one sister, one brother, and three children precede him in death.

Cherishing his memory are the survivors: his children, Terry R. Gray, of Duncan, Oklahoma, Victor R. Richardson, of Chicago, Illinois, Antonio M. Richardson and his wife, Danna, of Sacramento, California, Kevin Jackson, of Alba, New Mexico, Stephen A Richardson, of Edmond, Okla­homa, Lesley D. Richardson and his wife, Lisa, of Stillwater, Oklahoma, Tanya R. jackson, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and jacqueline Humphey, of Tatums, Oklahoma. His also is survived by three brothers, Floyd D. Richardson, of Wichita, Kansas, Odell Richardson and his wife, Sarah, of Altus, Oklahoma, and Lee Earl Richardson, of Duncan, Okla­homa; four sisters, Clara E. Flowers, Betty L. Harris and her husband, Von, Mary L. Coulter and her husband Charles, all of Duncan, Oklahoma and Ruby Fay Gist and her husband, Dwight, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; two aunts, Dora Richardson, of Elmore City, Oklahoma and Susie Franks, of Gainesville, Oklahoma; a very special niece, Gloria Scott, who was like a sister, of Lawton, Oklahoma; fifteen grand­children; as well as a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends.

Many people in the world Have lost all hope in life Never knowing where to cum From miselY, from strife

Seeking earth ly means To escape reality No dreams of a be tier futllre Lost in fantasy

There are some to always say Where there's life, there's hope If that is so why has somit Lost the will to cope

If they would let go of this world And seek the only source Who will give the Ll'ill and determination Hope comes from God of ['ourse.

He restoreth my soul; he le~deth me in the paths of righteousness for his name sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oi~: my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Obituary Ora D. Smallwood was born Ora D. Mitchell,

January 28, 1899, to the late Mr. and Mrs. Willie E. Mitchell in Coosa County, Alabama. The family moved to Tatums, Oklahoma, In­dian Territory in 1904. She attended the public school at Tatums and united with the Bethel Baptist Church.

During the years as a member of the Bethel congregation, she was an active member of the Missionary Society and the choir. She was known for her singing talent throughout the State.

Prevailing illness deterred her work and she had been in failing health for a number of years. She departed this life on Tuesday morning, August 20, 1968, in the home of her sister, Mrs. Connie V. Young.

Survivors are: 6 sisters-Mrs. Susie Finley, Mrs. Lousia Taylor, Mrs. Essie Winslett, Mrs. Connie V. Young, Mrs. Mentha Varner, Miss Beasley Mitchell; 3 brothers-William Echo, Hiram Beverly, and Ausby Benard Mitchell, and a host of relatives and friends.

The circle of her love and friendship has been broken by and through the will of God. May His everlasting peace be with her in this eternal sleep.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the

still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for

his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not

fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

and I will dwell in the house of the Lordfor ever. PSALM 23

Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair, Perhaps you sent a funeral spray, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you said the kindest word a friend would say.

Perhaps you were not there at all but prayed for us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you,

whatever the part.

Sincerely,

The SMITH Family

Death came April 8, 1978 at 2:30 p.m. at Grady Memorial Hospital, Chickasha, Oklahoma.

This is a world of sin, sorrow and death. No conditions in life is proof against the Decree of God. Thou shalt return to dust. We pause "today" to shed a tear in memory of one so dear, whose life stands forth as a Guidin~ Star. She was given every medical aid possible to prolong her life, but, Gods' will must be done and this world is not our abiding place. God knows best. When death takes our loved ones, Jesus knows our Sorrow and pain. He will be with us always.

The survivors are: The husband of the home. Her mother, Mrs. Mattie Dodd, Tatums, one daughter, Shirley, two sons, Otis and Melvin Martin. Four sisters, five brothers, 3 grand­children, a number of nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.

OBITUARY

Life is a portrait that we paint. A shade here, a tint

there, the end results however, depends on how often we

have consulted the master artist. The late D. L. and Viola

Spigner provided the canvass for the life of Carl H. Spigner

on August 1, 1917 in Tatums, Oklahoma.

Love, devotion and loyalty was heavily outlined in the

early sketches of Carl's portrait. His parents gently influ­

enced the depth and vivid coloring of his portrait. Yet,

more colors of experience were needed so a special hue was

added when he united with the Bethel Baptist. He remained

a studious member in Sunday School and Baptist Training

Union until he moved away to Chicago. He attended

school and finished High School in Tatums.

He leaves to forever cherish his memories: four sisters,

Mrs. Hallie Lane, Mrs. Lucindra Smith of Hobart, Okla­

homa, Mrs. Luvenia Smith of Ardmore , Oklahoma and

Mrs. Pearl Corbin of Council Bluff, Iowa; one brother,

Rev. D. L. Spigner of Los Angeles, California; a host of

relatives and friends.

• The Ogelia Spigner-Hogan Story

August 13: 1904 in Sulfur Springs, Texas, Ogelia was the 2nd of ten children born to Rozell and Willie Spigner. Her 5 brothers are: Nathan, Tam Bixby, Rozell Jr., L.K. and Theophilus, and 4 sisters include Beatrice, Teresa, Ruth, and Gracie. Hearing from his brother, Dan, that opportunities were better for Negroes in Tatums, OK, Rozell, following his brother's advice, packed a wagon and moved to Tatums. Upon his arrival Rozell, participating in the Land Sales sponsored by the government was the highest bidder for a piece of farm land in Tatums. After purchasing the land and renting a house, Rozell sent for his family. Willie and the 1 0 children rode the train to the Land of Opportunities ... Tatums, Oklahoma.

In 1929 Oil Companies began drilling Wild Cat Oil Wells 19 miles south of Tatums. Oil was found on Rozell's and Willie's farm land. A new opportunity was presented to Rozell and Willie, an opportunity to no longer farm. They moved to Muskogee with their new found wealth, providing their family with the love, determination, and wealth to carry out their dreams to provide better opportunities for Negroes.

Ogelia accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Saviour when eleven years old. She was a member of Bethel Baptist Church for 86 years. It was in Church that Ogelia realized and developed her leadership abilities. When 16 years old, Ogelia would gather young people together for Church programs. She served as financial secretary, choir member, Sunday School Teacher and Superintendent. Ogelia seNed as President of the State Farm Women's Club, and Vice President at the state level. She seNed as President of the P.TA, and the R.S.v.P.

Ogelia was honorable Mayor of Tatums, a member of the city council, was instrumental in acquiring many grants for Tatums. including a grant for the Municipal Building which included a fire station, and a grant for the Tatums-Spigner Park, which derived its name due to the $2,500.00 donation from Willie Spigner that purchased the land. Tatums initiated the first Head Start Program in

Oklahoma, and Ogelia Hogan played a most vital role in its organization. During the failure of the Oil Boom, many Tatums' citizens lost their jobs, and Ogelia Hogan organized the "Feed the Hungry Program, II which lasted 10 years.

Ogelia completed grade school when eleven years old, the youngest in her class. With no higher education available in Tatums, she was out of school two years and in 1919 began attendance at Langston's University for 4 years.

In 1923 Ogelia married Van Shaw. A daughter, Van Dora, was bom to this union. In 1926 Ogelia married Leonard Hooks. Ogelia loved and welcomed his daughter, Ladell, to their marriage. Four children were born to their union: Gwendolyn, Davetta, Cecil, and Joseph. Leonard Hooks preceded her in death in 1935. In 1944 Ogelia married 'M:lymon Hogan. The marriage lasted 39 years until his death in 1983.

A devoted wife and mother, Ogelia raised her children in the ways of the Lord, teaching them to be proud negro citizens, to share her legacy of leadership and knowledge, believing that knowledge was the key to success and the way to achieve that knowledge was to go to school. A hardworking citizen, for a short period owned and operated a local grocery store, worked in the cotton fields, cooked for the high school, farmed, grew a beautiful garden and canned.

Ogelia continued to make her home in Tatums, the community she loved so well. Her soul took ftight ThursdaVt November 29, 2001 at her home following a lengthy period of deteriorating health at the age of 97 years, 3 months and 1 7 days old. LMng a very productive and full life, a talented and gifted personalitVt Ogelia will always be remembered as a Leader, a Qui~er, a Seamstress, Crafter, an Embroiderer, a Fisherman, a friend, a Mentor, a Mother, a Grandmother, and last, but certainly not least, a child of God.

Ogelia, preceded in death by a daughter, Gwendolyn, 2 sisters and 5 brothers, leaves to forever cherish memories of her life 2 sons and a daughter-in-law: Cecil, of Elmore City, Joseph and Jeanetta, of Tatums; 2 daughters: Vandora INing and Davetta Austin, both of Los Angeles; a step-daughter, Jewell Williams; 2 sisters: Gracie Mae Wright, Las Vegas, Nevada and Teresa Bonner, Sulfur Springs, TX; 29 grandchildren, 82 great grandchildren, 60 great-great grandchildren, nieces and nephews, other relatives and many friends and acquaintances.

A Tribute to Mrs. Ogelia Spigner-Hogan "She's Somebody Special"

Ogelia Hogan was Somebody Special. In the entire wo~d there was no one just life her. From the beginning of time there has never been another person like her. Nobody has her smile, her eyes, her nose, her hair, her hands, her voice.

Ogelia Hogan was Somebody Special. There is nobody with her writing. Nowhere has there been anyone with her taste in food, clothes, music and art. Nobody sees things the way she saw them. Never has there been anyone who laughs like her or cries like her. And what made her laugh or cry would never generate laughter or tears identical to hers.

Ogelia Hogan was the only one in all creation who possessed her abilities. There will always be someone who will excel in one of her abilities, However no one in the whole universe could reach the combined quality of her talents, ideas, abilities and feelings that she possessed as a whole.

In a room full of musical instruments, some instruments may dominate by themselves, . but no one instrument can equal the symphoniC sound that all instruments together make in a symphony. Throughout etemity, nobody will shine, talk, walk, or do the things the way Ogelia Hogan did.

Ogelia Hogan was special. Ogelia Hogan was unique. In all uniqueness there exists great value. Because of her great value, she had no need to imitate others. She accepted and celebrated her differences. Ogelia Hogan was different and she realized that God created her with a special purpose in mind. He must have had a job for her that nobody else could do like her.

Among the billions of applicants, only one was eligible. Only one had the correct combination to qualify for the job. That was Ogelia Hogan's, because Ogelia was Somebody Special.

--To Those Who Love Me

'I Ain't Dead Yet" My hair is white and I'm almost blind. The days of my youth are far behind. My neck's so stiff, I can't turn my head, Can't hear half that's being said. My legs are wobbly, can hardly walk. But glory be, I can surely talk! And this is the message I want you to get ... "I'm still a-kicking and I ain't dead yet!"

My joints are stiff, won't move in their sockets, And nary a dime is left in my pockets. So maybe you think I'm a total wreck; To tell the truth I look like heck! But, I still have just loads of fun, And my heart with joy is overrun. I've lots of friends, so kind and sweet, And many more that I never meet.

Oh, this is a wonderful world of ours, Shade and sunshine and beautiful flowers, So you take it from me, You can just bet I'm glad I'm living and I ain't dead yet.

I've got corns on my feet and ingrowing nails, Ask do they hurt? Here language fails. To tell you my troubles would take too long, If I tried I'm sure you would give me the gong. I go to Church and Sunday School, too, For I love the story that is ever new. And when I reach the end of my row I hope to my heavenly home I'll go. Then when I leave my house of clay, If you listen closely you'll hear me say: "Well, folks, I've left you, but don't forget, I've just passed on, and I ain't dead yet!"

Special 'Tribute from granddaughter: Bettina

Maybe when George Washington was born, if it were you, you wouid have been

President of the United States. Maybe when Harriet Tubman was born on that

plantation many years ago, had it been you, you would have been running the

underground railroad, standing there strong and taiL leading the people, our

people, to freedom; or maybe you'd be in the lab with George Washington

Carvec brainstorming over the peanut. Or maybe you'd be sneaking around

the slave quarters teaching children t9 read.

But you're not those people. You're Ogelia Spigner-Hogan, leader of 'Tatums,

leading the people of 'Tatums down Highway 7 to freedom, for jobs, better

homes, education and government grants; brainstorming projects, such as

,quilts, wooden figures, gardens, food outreach programs and tasty dishes,

whenever you can; teaching children everywhere, love, kindness, faithfulness

and wisdom; making sure your children and grandchildren don't forget their

history, ancestors and most important of all the right way to live. I love you,

Mama Gelia, and I thank God for you. I'm proud that you were my grandmother.

PSALM 121

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that Keepeth thee will not slumber.

Behold, he that keepeth Is'rael shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is Thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve

thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in

Yea, thoRgh I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

OBITUARY

ANN WILSON WILLIAMS Ann Wilson Williams was born September 8, 1913 in Tallahassee, Florida. She was the fourth child of Mr. & Mrs Tommy Wilson who have both preceded her in death.

She grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma where she attended Booker T. Washington High School. She also attended college in Alabama.

She confessed Christ at an early age, and when she moved to Tatums in 1960, she united with the Bethel Baptist Church. Later, she moved her membership to the Free Pentecostal Holiness Church. At the time of her death she was united with the Pruitt City Assembly of God.

"Mama Ann", as she was known by many, was concerned about her community, and often sought to extend a helping-hand to those around her. She was a feisty lady, who loved to talk and to tease, and enjoyed getting a good laugh with her many stories of the past. "Marna Ann" had a way of mak i ng others feel "special". She loved to cook and would often prepare special dishes for her "loved-ones", as she called them.

She leaves to mourn her passing: a sister, Katherine Spelmon of Los Angeles, California; a godson, Daniel C. Gardner of Tulsa, Oklahoma; W. L. Gardner, of Tulsa who was a son to her; Joyce M. Gardner of Tulsa, who was a daughter to her; two step­grandsons, Frank C. Fleming II of Pasadena, California and Victor D. Fleming of Altadena, California. Steel L. Gardner and David J.

fJ:o %ose I Love

When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourselves to me with tears, Be thankful for our beautiful years.

So grieve a while for me if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a time that we must part, So bless these memories within your heart.

I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me I'll be near, And if you listen with your hearts you will hear All my love around you soft and clear.

And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say, "Welcome Home."

OBITUARY

"There is a reaper whose name is death; And with his sickle keen

He reaps whom he will at breath, He comes but cannot be seen."

Christianity does not exempt one from death; it only insures triumph over over death. Moses died. Paul died , and all must die. There is no other way of entrance into our Heavenly Father's house. Soon all will be over with all that are here. Consi­der your state before God. There is not far from all of us that hidden certainty of death. There are some of us within a hands-breath of the grave and yet it is not apparent to those around us, because we are all so shocked when we heard that she had passed away. Although we knew she was not well, her determination kept her real condition hidden from us; but our Lord knew and in His own time relieved her of all her earthly woes. The sudden and what we call untimely death of those who are prepared to go may be regarded as a blessing to them.

She never refused to help any worthy cause, and would never forget her church. She would say, "I am willing to divide, but 1 must put my church first." It seemed that her church and its welfare was always on her mind, and like David, she was always glad when they said, "Let us go into the house of the Lord."

... {' .... t'~I._() ..... ) __ O"l

Jessie Williams was born to Mr. Charlie and Maggie Swindall on December 5, 1901 in Tatums, Oklahoma. She grew up and attended school in Tatums, Oklahoma. She united with the church at an early age and was baptised by the Rev. Ben Givens.

She met and married Mr. Harmon Buycks of Coweta, Oklahoma November 23, 1921 who preceeded her in death in 1936. She didn't have any children in this marriage but she raised and mothered 10 of her sister's children who's mother and father passed and left them.

She met and married George Williams who preceeded her in death. To this union one son was born, Cecil Williams of Tatums, Oklahoma.

She leaves to mourn her pasing, one son, Cecil Williams of the home. Two brothers; Alphonzo Swindall of the home, L. D. Swindall of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; 4 sisters, Doshie Branch of Spencer, Okla­homa, Willie Briscoe of Alvarado, Texas, Roberta Carter and Zephaniah Buycks of Tatums, Oklahoma.

AWAY

\Ve miss him here. He waits for us there.

I CANNOT say, and I will not say That he is dead.-He is just away!

With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand He has wandered into an unknown land.

And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there.

And you-oh you, who the wildest yearn For the old time step and the glad return-

Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here.

Think of him stilI the same, I say; He is not dead-he is just away.

He will not suffer thy foot be be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Behold, He that keepeth Is'rael shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this

time forth, and even for evermore.

A Tribute From the Family

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be So He put His arms around you and whispered

"Come to Me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away:

And though we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating; your beautiful smile was put to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us, ~ He only takes the best.

~ ~

We Love You

There are many mysteries in Itie. Many things we don't understand. ..

God doesn't always tell us, How he's working out His plan. But in His time and in His way,

He clearly lets us know lIe's working out his best for us

Because He loves us so. Roy Lessin

Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplift~ng rush Of quiet birds in circledflight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die.

Shed not too many tears when I shall leave

Be brave enough to smile,

It will not shorten hours e'er you grieve,

Your loneliness the while.

I would not have you sorrowful and sad,

But joyfully recall

The glorious companionship we've had.

And thank God for it all.

Don't let your face grow tear-streaked, pale and worn;

Have heart for mirth and song-

Rejoice, though for a little while I'm gone,

That I was here so long;

For if I throught your faith would fail you so,

And leave you so distressed,

That sobbing to my body's grave you would go

My spirit could not rest.

CROSSING THE BAR Sunet and evening star,

And one clear call for me,

And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea.

But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam,

When that which drew from out the boundless deep

Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,

And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell,

When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far,

I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar.

--Alfred, Lord Tennyson

OBITUARY

Earnestine Winslett was born and bap­

tized in Avinger, Texas. She attended

Prairie View A & M University, where

she met and married Lee Winslett, Jr.

Later they moved to Houston, Texas,

and from this union two children were

born, Jacqueline and Lee Winslett.

Earnestine leaves to mourn, her

husband; her two children; her mother,

Gracie Bolden; two brothers, Willie

B. Linwood and Earnest Bolden; three

sisters, Louisa Dowell, Arthur Lena

Bolden and J ohnetta Bolden and a host

of nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

Today we believe Earnestine would

quote for us the words of Jesus, "Weep

not for me, weep for yourselves and for your children," for "I go to my Father."

My Darling,

Thank you for your abundant

love and for sharing your life with

me.

Of all the ways to express

my thoughts and feelings, the

simple phrase

HI Love You"

still seems to be the best.

- Winslett

AWAY

\Ve miss him h~re. He waits for us the re.

I C\NNOT say, and I will not say T hat he is dead.-He is just away!

' \iith a cheery smile and a wave of the hand He has wandered into an unknown land.

And le ft us dreaming how very fair I t needs must be, since he lingers there.

And vou-oh you. who the wildest yearn For the old time step and the glad return-

Think of him faring on. as dear In the love of There as the love of Here.

T hink of him still the same. I say; He is not dead-he is just away.

®hituar~

Life is a portrait that we paint, a shade here, a tint there, the end results however, depends on how often we have consulted the master artist.

The late Minor and Florence Lucas provided the canvass for the life of Bernice Lucas Young on June 13, 1925 in Tatums, Oklahoma.

Love, devotion and loyalty was heavily outlined in the early sketches of Bernice' s portrait. Bernice~s formative years include instruction and church affiliations. Her parents greatly influenced the depth and vivid . coloring of her portrait.

Yet more colors of experience were needed so a special hue was added when she and Alfred Young were married on October 23, 1946. .Over twenty-nine years were spent in perfecting love, duty and respon­sibility for husband, family and friends.

The-master artist put the finishing touches on this portrait Monday, July 12, 1976 at 3:30 a.m. and moved it to its final resting place in his gallery.

She leaves to mourn: a husband, Mr. Alfred Young; mother, Mrs. Florence Lucas; sister, brother, aunt, two nieces, one nephew, one great niece, two great nephews, numerous cousins and friends.

Her portrait hangs in our hearts as a living symbol of a beautiful life, fully lived and completely dedicated.

Our Father knows what's best for us, so why should we complain?

We always want the sunshine, but He knows there must be rain. We love the sound of laughter and the merriment of cheer,

But our hearts would loose their tenderness if we never shed a tear.

Our Father tests us often with suffering, and with sorrow, He tests us, not to punish us, but to help us meet tomorrow.

For growing trees are strengthened when they withstand the storm,

And the sharp cut of the chisel give the marble grace and form.

God never hurts us needlessly, and He never wastes our pain, For every loss He sends to us is followed by rich gain.

And when we count the blessings that God has so freely sent, We will find no cause for murmuring and no time to lament.

For our Father loves His children. And to Him all things are plain,

So He never sends us pleasure when the soul's deep need is pain, So whenever we are troubled, and when everything goes wrong,

It is just God working in us to make our spirit strong. May it comfort you to know that God is only a prayer away, And His mercy and love surrounds you every hour of the day.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures : he leadeth me

beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul : he leadeth me in the paths of right­

eousness for His name's sake. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of

death, I will fear no evil : for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. .

Thou preparest a table before me in the ~resen.ce of mine enemies : thou anointest my head With od; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Nett
