This family lived in this community until 6 months ago when he found the work he loved so well at the Bowen Shop in Dallas. He was a first class mechanic and put his whole life into the work as it was his favorite kind.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to this bereaved family in their time of sorrow.

Gustave Santerre, Life-Long Resident Of One Home, Dies
Gustave Santerre, pioneer of Dallas who lived all the seventy-eight years of his life in one house, died Sunday night at the home he knew for so long, 1422 North Westmoreland, Oak Cliff. Death was caused by pneumonia and heart failure and followed an illness of four days.
Mr. Santerre was a native of Dallas County. He was born at La Reunion, the old French colony which still goes by that name, in West Oak Cliff. His parents came from France to locate in the colony. Two months after he was born the parents moved a mile to another house in the colony.
The death of Mr. Santerre leaves only two known surviving residents of La Reunion. They are his brother, Emanuel Santerre, 86, who lives on Eagle Ford, road, and George Cretien, 647 North Tyler.
La Reunion, which was aimed to be a French utopia, was apart from Dallas when Mr. Santerre was born. It was about the same size as Dallas, and Mr. Santerre was 8 before he visited the thriving county seat.
Mr. Santerre’s wife was Miss Rosa Loupot, also from an old French family but who lived in Dallas. It is believed by members of Mr. Santerre’s family that there are more than 200 relatives of the family, on both sides in Dallas County.
Mr. Santerre was educated by his sisters and was considered a well read man in his later years of life. Some time ago he presented the Dallas Historical Association with a collection of books owned by his father, Francois Santerre. The books, all in French, had been carried across the ocean thirteen times by Mr. Santerre’s father.
Farming and fruit growing was Mr. Santerre’s life work and at the time of his death he was with his two sons operating one of the largest fruit farms in North Texas. He was not active in the business, however, having retired a few years ago.
Survivors are his wife; two sons, John Santerre, Arlington, and Leo Santerre, Dallas; one daughter, Mrs. Marie O’Brien, Dallas; his brother, Emanuel Santerre, Dallas, and five grandchildren.
Funeral services were held Monday at 3 p.m. at the Lamar & Smith Chapel with burial in Restland Cemetery. --Reprinted from Dallas News Feb. 10-36.

Some time during the night of February 16th, the death angel came into the home of Jess T. Sawyer and quietly carried his spirit away to the one who gave it—thus ending the life in a manner in which it had been lived—quietly and peacefully.

It could truly be said of him that “None knew him but to love him—none mentioned but to praise.”

Open their thousand leaves--

Or voice of those who wept
Silently down the sunny slope
The grieving kindred swept.”

MRS. J. H. WATSON TARRANT COUNTY PIONEER DIES

(picture of lady wearing glasses)

Died at the family home in Arlington, Friday at 10:55 p.m., Mar. 6, 1936,

Mrs. John H. Watson.
The grim march of Texas pioneers to the other shore continued last Friday night when more than 100 homes in the Arlington section were bereaved by the passing of a great grandmother who had endeared herself to residents of Arlington over a period of 58 years. Loved by these 100 families directly related to her by blood and marriage, and as well by a larger number who knew her as friend, counsellor, church worker, and in all the other good citizenship in woman as well as man, Mrs. Watson left a place in this town and section that will not be filled.
Margaret Rebecca Hutcheson, daughter of I. L. and Ruth Hutcheson, was born August 18, 1852, at Coultersville, Tennessee, the second of nine children. She is survived by but one of that family, a brother, W. T. Hutcheson of Archer City, Texas. When a girl of 13 or 14 years, her parents came to Texas.
Children, grandchildren and many friends had heard Mrs. Watson tell of the Tennessee home near Lookout Mountain where childhood memories clustered around war scenes. Nearby the battle of Chickamauga was fought. Her father was a Confederate soldier. The end of the family’s resources came with the end of that conflict. The covered wagon trip to Texas followed quickly.
In that caravan were fifteen or more wagons with as many families. They came West to the Mississippi, down whose eastern bank they proceeded to Vicksburg when they crossed over and came West to what was to be their future home. In the party were I. L. Hutcheson, father of Mrs. Watson, with her “Uncle Charley” and her “Uncle Hon” Hutcheson. Their first stopping place was in Wise County where they visited “Aunt” Czrania Day, nee Hutcheson, a sister who had already removed to Texas and found a home. The party was not satisfied with Wise County and soon proceeded on to Alvarado in Johnson County where they settled, in 1866.
There I. L. Hutcheson established a store, becoming a well known merchant. There too, the daughter, Margaret Rebecca, grew to womanhood and, on January 7, 1869, was married to P. N. Sigler. In July of the following year, 1870, the Hutchesons and Siglers moved to Johnson Station whither they had been preceded by Dr. and Mrs. A. K. Middleton, Mrs. Middleton being an aunt of Mrs. Watson and a sister of the three Hutcheson brothers.
Dr. Middleton had settled at Johnson Station about 1868 and was one of the respected pioneer physicians of Tarrant County. Making up a big part of “The Station’s” population, the Hutchesons and Middletons remained there many years, Hutcheson operating his store until he removed to Arlington.
To Mr. and Mrs. Sigler two children were born, both of whom live in Arlington now, beloved of all who know them. They are Mrs. Mattie Rankin and Mrs. Will McAskill. Mr. Sigler died at Johnson Station in 1875.
Three years later, on Dec. 3, 1878, Mrs. Sigler was married to John H. Watson whose father, Patrick A. Watson, had established Watson Community three miles northeast of Arlington in 1852. From 1878 to 1896 this community was the home of the new Watson family. To the union were born four children, three of whom are living and well known to the people of Arlington of 1936. They are Mrs. Marie McKinley of this city and Mrs. H. V. Copeland of Grand Prairie, and Harold Watson, also of Arlington. These children were born into the world in the Watson Community where the family continued to reside until April 1890, when they moved into Arlington.
Mr. Watson departed this life at their family home here on Dec. 4, 1926. Some three months later, on March 18, 1927, Mrs. Watson fell and fractured her hip. She never was able to walk again; but in spite of this, her health remained reasonably good until the past year during which it had gradually failed, finally resulting in her death.
During her last days Mrs. Watson was lovingly attended by all her children and by many close relatives and friends. The funeral was held in the Arlington Presbyterian Church of which she had been a member since 1896, she having joined the church in her early girlhood. Services at 2:30 p.m. last Sunday were conducted by Rev. J. H. Patterson, now pastor of that church, and Rev. S. M. Bennett, her pastor there for 21 years. Present also was Rev. W. T. Thurman, her pastor there for seven years preceding Mr. Bennett’s occupancy of the pulpit.
Burial was in the old Watson Cemetery which had been set aside for that sacred purpose by her husband’s father 84 years before. Pallbearers, representing families that had lived near and been closely associated with the Watsons for many years, were Ray McKnight, Tom Cravens, Webb Rose, Edward Rankin, Louis Tillery, and Tom Lee.
The following were out of town people who attended the funeral of Mr. Thomas (Mrs. Watson??): Bowman Snider and family of Longview, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Butler of Livingston, Mrs. Marjory Tucker-Butler of Livingston, Mrs. Reuter of Livingston, Homer Thomas and family of Ft. Worth.

Friday April 10 MARY J. JOHNSTON TARRANT COUNTY PIONEER DIES FRI.
In the passing of Mrs. Mary Jane Long Johnston, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Benton Collins, Friday April 3, 1936, Arlington lost one of its best loved women. She was one of the few remaining pioneers, and had endeared herself to the entire community during the 60 years of her residence here. Loved by her family and a large circle of friends who knew her best. Loved for the beautiful Christian life she led, a life of compassion and love and devotion to others. Even though a shut-in for the last few years of her life, she was never heard to complain, but was always cheerful and happy, and her greatest pleasure was the visits of her old friends.

Mrs. Johnson, the daughter of the late Mary Jane and David R. Long was born in Louden, Tennessee, October 5, 1843 and moved to Texas in 1873 and located in Dallas County. She was married to William Scott Johnston, Sept. 2, 1875. They moved to Tarrant County in 1876 and bought a farm five miles south of Arlington, living there until about 40 years ago when they moved to Arlington.
She joined the Presbyterian Church when sixteen years of age, but united with the Methodist Church after her marriage. She was active in church work, until seven years ago, when she became an invalid. She and her husband both being invalids and unable to attend church listened to services over the radio every Sunday.
The devotion of Mr. and Mrs. Johnston to each other during the 60 years of their married life, was a revelation to their friends, they were constantly, together and the thought of each, was for the welfare of the other. All through the years if one went on a visit the other went too, no business deal was ever transacted without first talking it over together, theirs was truly a marriage made in Heaven. Her last conscious thought was for her beloved husband.
Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist Church Sunday afternoon, with Dr. W. T. Rouse of Denton, Dr. George W. Shearer, Dr. S. M. Bennett and Dr. Wynne officiating. Burial was in the Arlington Cemetery. Active pall bearers were her grandsons, Arthur, Owen and Tom Collins of Arlington and Elton, Norman and Vernon Johnston of McLean. Honorary pall bearers were: W. E. Butcher, Frank McKnight, J. P. Fielder, C. R. Ayers, L. F. Harvey, R. S. Wagoner, J. D. Swaim, Bascom Thomas, Tom Adkins, Joe Nuckles, Barb Nuckles, W. T. Wilson, J. R. Phillips, J. M. Carpenter, J. E. Kerby, Charley Carpenter, J. B. Guill, J. H. Bodine and D. M. Davis.
Survivors are her husband, one daughter, Mrs. Benton Collins, Arlington, one son, Scott Johnston, McLean; twelve grandchildren and eighteen great grand children, one sister, Mrs. A. W. Brakebill, Wichita Falls, Texas.
Beautiful flowers which she loved, were sent in great numbers, by loving friends from all over the county. They paid a silent tribute of love to this mother, councellor and friend. The place she left vacant will not be filled.
And now she dwells where neither doubt nor fear
May find her breast;
No crying child may disturb her here
Or break her rest.
Ended the ache of living. Here she lies
In wondrous peace.
God left a smile about her lovely eyes
With her release
Love had no more sweet service to provide
But this we know,
She’ll watch for us upon the other side,
Who tried her so.
