MISS MITTIE DEPEW CALLED BY DEATH

was learned that Miss Mittie Depew had been called
by death at the Shepperd Memorial Hospital, April
16th, 1959, following a fatal heart attack.
Funeral services were held at the Clements Funeral
Home at 3:00

Schulze officiating. Burial was in the Odd
Fellows' Cemetery.
Pallbearers were: Ed Young, Henry
Zimmerman, D. V. Hammond, B. Pogue, Lawson
Gibbs, Allen Kroeger, C. C. Castellaw, and
Willie Garrett.
Deceased was born at Burnet, Texas, March 29,
1874, and had spent her entire life in
Burnet. She was a Charter Member of the
Burnet County Historical Society, having served as
Treasurer ever since its organization. It
was through her untiring efforts that the Society
has achieved what it has done, and through her
death, has lost its most faithful member.
She was a descendant of Logan Vandeveer,
one of the founders of the town of Burnet.
She was also a member of the Methodist Church.

The Bulletin joins the many other friends of the
grieved relatives in extending sympathy to them
during their hours of grief.
