“SWEETLY REST’'
Mrs. Eliza Welhausen
Oct 5th, 1843.
‘Day of all the days, the best;
Emblem of Eternal rest,
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in thee”
Flag Day Celebration.
Kolar-Stanak Post Amer-
ican Legion.
Large crowds were present
from all the surrounding sections
to witness this celebration, they
gathered early and remained all
day.
The parade set for 10 a. m.
was slightly delayed on account
of the late arrival of the Hallets-
viile delegation. The order of
march was about as follows: Led
by the Shiner Band of ten pieces,
next came the Legion boys in uni-
form marching in line, followed
by the decorated trucks and cars
in the order as near as we could
determine. The Flanders Field
car prepared by the Ladies Aux- taility of the city to all visitors.
was much remarked. The Japa-
nese car trimmed in green repre-
senting a Japanese garden, enter-
ed by Miss Mary Kasper attracted
much attention. The Mothers’
Club float arid the School float
were pictures of beauty and joy-
fulness. The old Forty-Niner and
the Hobo Band float propelled by
a Ford tractor created much
laughter and amusement. The
Halletsville delegation, led by the
Ideal Band was in line and great-
ly aided the display.
During the passing of the par-
ade the streets and sidewalks were
thronged with sightseers. Mr.
J. M. Canon was Marshal of the
day, and led on horseback.
At the park the welcome ad-
dress was delivered by Mayor E.
Rgnk, who extended the hospi-
At the close of the Sabbath Day
and as the sun was going down,
out into the soft twilight of
eternity, God’s Mantle envelop-
ed the loving tender soul of
Aunt Eliza and voyaged with her
and the silent boatman to the
other shore. Earth’s shadows
faded “the night was gone and
with the morn, those angel faces
smiled, which she had loyed long
since and lost awhile.”
Never did the Master’s sum-
mons find a more obedient and
faithful follower. Ill health and
sorrow over recent and near
bereavements caused her to
longingly pray to jdtn those who
had been called home, When
the final summons came, it came
as a blessed relief to a tired
soul, it came as an answer to her
faithful frevent prayer. A noble
woman has passed away and
damp eyes .and sorrowed hearts
are left to say goodbye.
Her death is keenly felt by the
entire community. Always
generous in her response 'to the
uplifting influences and needs of
her home town she endeared
herself to its citizenship. Chari-
table to the extent that no one
guessed or knew of, her full
purse was ever open and those,
who were benefited by her gen-

Sam Amsler of McGregor also
survives. Three other brothers,
Chas., John, and* Philip preceded
her in death. She was a mem-
ber of the ^Presbyterian church,
later uniting with the Metho-
dist Church. She loved the
church, her contributions were
liberal and cheerfully giyen to
all of its departments. Her
home was the preacher’s home,
She organized (with scarcely
a dozen children) a Sunday
School that she maintained and
remained the Superintendent of
continuously for over a quarter
of a century. Always belieying
in tbe promise of Him who said:
“In as much as you have done
it unto the least of these, my
brethern ye have done it unto
me.” The little church on the:
hill stands as an enduring monu-
ment to the faithfullness in
winter’s cold and summer’s
heat. To her it was given the
privilege to reap “the bread
cast on the waters.” The child-
ren of this city she Influenced
to God and right in their earliest
infancy are now leading their
children in the paths made easy
by this woman’s Godly living and
teaching. “To live thus in liyes
deleave behind is not to die.”

joy was to serve; ;!:WeIT done

red poppies. The Legion emblem
car came next followed by the
Red Cross car. The Betsy Ross
car showing Betsy busily engag-
ed making the first American
Flag was entered by Shiner Hdw.
Co. Wolters Bros Co. entered
a fine car trimmed in white, cover-
ed with flags and occupied by six
young ladies beautifully gowned.
Then came the beautiful car
decorated with daisies and enter-
ed by Selma and Alma Kempe.
The speaker of the day was Mr.
0. Ellis Jr., who delivered a most
interesting and intertaining ad-
dress. Mr. J. F. Bozka also
gave a short talk and acted as
auctioneer for the sale of the
poppies, from which a nice large
sum was realized for the Legion
sanitarium at Kerrville. The
baseball games were well attended
and were won by Halletsville by a
score of 3 to 7. The celebration
closed with the - ball at night, to
which over 400 dance tickets
loss. As a friend, the bigness of
her heart was manifest, Tn joy
and sorrow she was always near,
deeply sympathetic. It can be
thruthfully said: ‘“A sturdy oak,
a dependable friend has fallen.”
Always unassuming, a just
woman and one whose quiet sim-
plicity was her chief character-
istic. Her friendly counsel and
words of cheer sweetened many- her death had been its president

Now there is left only -a memory
deeply graven on the heart- The
memory of a queenly, useful
woman, One whose hand was
active, whose life was gentle amd
whose heart was kind.
The subject of this sketch was
born at Cat Springs, Austin
County, Texas, She was mar-
ried to Capt. Cbas. Welhausen
January 1st, 1867. They first
lived at High Hill, moving near
Flatonia in 1881. In 1891 the
family moved near Shiner and
in 1896 to the town' of Shiner
Five children were born to this
union, John who'died in infancy
and an only daughter, Mamie,
who died May 17, 1917, Capt.
Welhausen died Noy. 3, 1916.
She is survived by three sons,
Charles and Peck of Shiner and
Philip of Yoakum. The surviv-
ing grandchildren are: Carl,
enter thou into the joys of thy
Lord” must have been the
chorus that greeted her when
the pearly gates swung wide.
Another public interest that was
always near and dear to the
heart of this good woman was
the care bestowed on the “silent
city of the dead.” She organized
the Cemetery Association and at
for over twenty years.
As a mother her devotion
knew no bounds and to those who
Were nearest and dearest to her
as well as to this community she
-has left an example of a life of
walking in His steps.
The funeral of Mrs. Welhausen
took place last Friday afternoon
at 4 o’clock, with interment in
the city cemetery, and was very
largely attended.
A great many citizens of
Yoakum attended, to show the
great respect and high estima-
tion in which deceased was held.
The services at the house and
at’the grave were conducted by
Rev. A. E. Rector and were very
beautiful and inspiring. Tbe
tribute paid by Rev, Rector to
the life and character of the dec-
eased was very eloquent and
