T. L. ROUSE DIES SUDDENLY WED. Copied From Vernon Times.
Vernon people were shocked and saddened yesterday afternoon at 4:25 o’clock when the news was flashed over the city that T. L. Rouse, editor and business manager of the Vernon Times, had died following a stroke three and a half hours previous.
It does not seem possible that his cheery greeting to his hundreds of friends will be heard no more on the streets of Vernon.
Mr. Rouse sustained the stroke as he was working at a linotype machine in the rear office of the Times about 1 o’clock. Shortly after falling from his chair he was found by L. F. Blair, shop foreman, who summoned an ambulance and he was taken to a hospital. He never regained consciousness. Physicians ascribed his death to cerebral embolism, or blood clot on the brain.
Funeral services will be held at 4 o’clock this afternoon at the First Baptist church with Dr. H. H. Hargrove pastor, officiating. The pastor will be assisted by Rev. J. H. Hamblen, Methodist pastor, Rev. John E. Eldridge presiding elder, Vernon district Rev. H. N. Cunningham, pastor of the Federated Presbyterian church, and Rev. G. T. Reaves, pastor of the Central Christian church. Interment will be in East View cemetery under the direction of the Underwood Funeral Home.
Outside of his regular business duties, Mr. Rouse was vitally interested in church work and civic affairs. He was a devoted member of the Baptist church and was superintendent of the First Baptist Sunday School. His work with the church came first and he was untiring in his work along all religious lines. In addition, Mr. Rouse was president of the Lions club and Commander of the Albert E. Robinson Post No. 67, American Legion.
He has held the office of tax assessor and collector and city marshal of the town of West Vernon since its incorporation nine years ago. He was appointed acting postmaster of Vernon and served in that capacity for fourteen months.
Thomas Loraine Rouse was born at Quitman, Texas, March 5, 1895, and was a son of Rev. and Mrs. W. T. Rouse of Denton. During his father’s pastorate with the Baptist church the family lived at Pittsburg and Clarksville, Texas, and one year in Brazil, where the father was engaged in missionary work. At the age of eleven he began learning the printer’s trade and worked his way through Howard Payne college and Baylor University, where he received his B. A. degree.
He taught school at Stephenville and when the United States entered the World War, he was employed in the railroad offices in Memphis. Within a week he volunteered and later was sent to an officer’s training camp at Leon Springs. In December he was commissioned a first Lieutenant in the 84th Aero Squadron at Kelly Field, San Antonio. Here he held the place as instructor of instructors of flyers. He was given a commission as Captain in the Officers Reserve Corps about five years ago.

The graduating class of the High School, of which Mildred was a member, sang the class song, “A Melody From The Sky.” This song brought back memories of graduation night when Mildred was present with her happy smile, and a cheery word for every one.
A quartet composed of Messrs Lightfoot, Bailey, Bradford and Mrs. Johnson sang “Asleep In Jesus.” Girl companions whom she loved, Lometa Faye Rogers, Frances Hiett, Sterling Goodwin, Corinne Echols, Edwina Tillery, Louise Crow, Mildred Colson, Imotha Bradford, Audra Scott, Ella V. Isom, Jennie Ruth Bruner, carried the many lovely floral offerings sent by friends and relatives. The Senior class sent a large spray with the class colors, blue and white predominating. The pep squad and the teachers sent sprays and a huge wreath was sent by friends from the neighborhood where she lived.
Pall bearers were young people from the senior class: Will Ransom, Virgil Scott, Valin Woodward, Foster Elder, Charles Tillery and Ferril Kline. Burial was in Rose Hill Cemetery. Luttrell Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements. Mildred is survived by her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Henderson, and one sister, Mrs. Chauncey Bradford of Fort Worth, and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
Mildred was only ill three days. When word was passed around among friends that she was at the hospital, ill unto death, the entire town was shocked, and all day Saturday and Sunday, loving friends and relatives kept watch at the hospital, ever hopeful of a change for the better. Sunday afternoon about four o’clock she grew rapidly worse and all knew the time had come to give up Mildred, who had everything to make life bright and the future happy.
The end came about 9:30, peacefully, as her loved ones had hoped. Mildred was outstanding both at home and at school, for her unselfishness, her honesty, her loyalty and her cheerful disposition. When College opens this fall, Mildred will be missed, but the influence of her life will remain with her classmates, and perhaps the memory of the sweet life she lived, help them to emulate her in a small degree.

She was Post Mistress at Bulcher, her home town in Cook County for 20 years. After she had reared and educated her family and there was no longer need for her to do public work she turned her attention to hand work, and pieced and quilted a quilt during her 83rd year which won first prize at the Dallas Fair.
Last year she pieced a quilt for her great-great grandson, William Howard Hudspeth, son of Mr. and Mrs. Truin Hudspeth of Dallas. This piece of hand work will be prized through generations to come. Mrs. Morris to her grandchildren and especially to Mrs. Hudspeth was a grandmother whose memory will be cherished as long as life lasts. She delighted to have them call her grandmother and to them the name will always recall happy days spent in her presence. To be a real grandmother, is an honor that few attain in these modern days, and fortunate indeed is the child who has known the love of a real grandmother.

Arlington this week was again called upon to mourn the passing of one of her loved pioneers, Uncle Billy Johnston, who passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. B. Collins, July 17.

Mrs. Johnston passing away April 2, 1936.
Upon moving to Texas Mr. and Mrs. Johnston settled on a farm five miles south of Arlington. They lived there until Uncle Billy retired from active work on the farm about 60 years ago. They moved to Arlington to the home on South Oak Street where they lived the remainder of their lives.
He had been a member of the Methodist Church for 60 years and took an active part in all the church work until his health failed him several years ago. During his early years he was one of the most progressive farmers of the community, he was a lover of the soil and put his earnings back into land and at the time of his death was one of the largest land owners in Arlington.
Uncle Billy was a pioneer in the truest sense of the word he knew the trials and hardships to be endured in the settling of a new region, and the rearing of a family when neighbors were far apart. He also knew the meaning of the word neighbor and it expressed to him all that was loyal and true, and he lived up to the word during those hard days, and no one ever went to him for the loan of anything needed, and went away empty handed.
Men like Uncle Billy are passing and soon they will be just a memory, but a memory that will bring back to us gratitude and reverence for the men and women who blazed the trail for us and made the homes of today possible. Uncle Billy gave of his strength and substance to the development of Arlington and his name will go down through time as one of Arlington’s best loved and most respected citizens.

In Memory
Mrs. Mollie Foster lived 71 years, a good and useful life, 53 of which she spent in Arlington. The last 2 years she resided in Polytechnic, Ft. Worth.
For four years she was afflicted with Arthritis Deformans, spending most of this time on a bed of suffering.
Through all this affliction she was so brave and cheerful that few, who visited her, realized how much she suffered, because she laughed and joked, and made their visit a pleasant one, regardless of her own condition.
Accustomed to the hardships of the years following the Civil War, she learned early in life the lessons of patient endurance which helped her to keep cheerful and happy through even adverse circumstances. Mrs. Foster was a very clever, capable and industrious woman, a true helpful companion, and a kind loving mother and grandmother. She always managed to keep the Homefires burning to make home a place where her family loved to be.
On her two daughters, Ida and Annie, and her grandson Billie, she bestowed the most generous affection. They repaid her doubly during her long illness by caring for her lovingly, unselfishly and faithfully supplying her slightest want if it was possible to do so.
Good neighbors, too, ministered to her for Mrs. Foster and her family made close friends of their neighbors in Ft. Worth, as they had done in Arlington.
No more fitting tribute could be paid Mrs. Foster than to say that she LIVED her philosophy of life, which is so truly expressed in Sam Walter Foss’ beautiful poem:
