From the Burnet Bulletin, 18 July 1899:
Old Settler Gone. (Marble Falls Standard)
Mrs. Elizabeth Wallace, widow of the late Mm.Wallace and the only sister of Geo. and Joe Roper, died at her home near Tobay [Tobey] school house, Wednesday, July 5th at 2:30 p.m. at the advanced age of sixty eight years. Funeral Services were conducted at Burnet by Rev. Bell of the Baptist church, Thursday and the body was interred at the old Burnet cemetery.
Deceased was one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Burnet county. She was born in Georgia in 1831. She became a member of the Baptist church about thirty years ago and adhered to its doctrines till her death. Her life was that of a devoted Christian woman and she died as only a christian can die. A few moments before she breathed her last, she raised her eyes to Heaven and said, "Glory, glory, glory!" Then her voice grew inaudible and she sank into a sweet sleep--the sleep of death. Joe Roper and Mrs. Geo. Roper of this place, Robert Wallace the son, and Mrs. Kolb, the daughter, who have watched over her so faithfully during her declining hours, were at her bedside when she breathed her last.
She leaves four sons and four daughters to mourn her loss--all of them grown. She had been an invalid for three years. Her death thins the ranks of a once large family to two: George and Joe Roper, both of this place. They and her bereaved sons and daughters have the Standard's sincere sympathy in this trying hour.

A. P. Warden Dead
Last Sunday at his home in the Mt. Blanc neighborhood, after a few days illness, A. P. Warden departed this life. His body was interred Monday in the Mt. Zion Cemetery with Knights of Pythias honors.
This county has never had a better citizen than Price Warden and many expressions of sincere regret were heard when it became known that he was dead.
He leaves a wife, children, several brothers, a sister, many other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his death.
Mr. Warden was a devoted husband, a loving father, a kind neighbor. His word was as good as a bond and no man stood higher in the estimation of the general public.
At the time of his death he was about forty years old and was reared in the community in which he died. During all these years, he never committed an act that brought reproach to the honored name he bore. We know whereof we speak, for we were school boys together from early childhood.
When such men die, not only is the loss felt by the near loved ones, but the entire community misses his wise counsel, his upright example and sturdy honesty.
The Bulletin extends its deepest sympathy to the bereaved relatives.

Mrs. Nancy A. Wiley
The subject of this sketch was born Sept. 24, 1843, in Lavaca county, Texas, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charlie Smith of Fairland, at 4 o'clock Friday morning, April 20, at the age of 79 years, six months and 26 days. She was united in marriage to Mr. Isaac Wiley on Sept. 24, 1861, on her eighteenth birthday, to which union 13 children were born, eleven now living. There were 8 boys and 5 girls, as follows: Jeff and Jim, dead; Dan, at Harper, Texas; Tom of Wolf Crossing; Will and John, of New Mexico; Andrew, of Oklahoma; George of Abilene; Mrs. Mary Carter and Mrs. Harriet Arnold, of New Mexico; Mrs. Ellen Bowden of Pampa, Texas; Mrs. Charlie Smith of Fairland, and Mrs. Will Cummings of Burnet. Deceased had two living sisters and one brother, one sister in California, and one, Mrs. Martha Peason of Austin, present at the funeral; brother, George Kent of Blanco, Texas, was also present.
At an early age in life Mrs. Wiley was happily converted and joined the Methodist Church, all thru life living a consistent, faithful and prayerful member, scattering sunshine everywhere. But today the eternal springtime with everlasting glories belongs to the departed one. Her entire life was a rare jewel, her spirit as gold refined ready for heaven. God has bidden her welcome to that mansion on high, which He himself has prepared, where the golden harp chimes sweet music to the redeemed.
Mrs. Wiley ran the journey of life in 70 years. But it is a path marked with deeds of kindness and cheer, flowers and not thorns. Truth was the inspiration of her life and by good deeds and kindness she exemplified its great worth. This was the fountain of her life-long character; for, upon the white canvas of that life she drew no lines, which needed to be erased from memory. Therefore she is mourned but not without hope of reward. But thru this gloom of sadness there comes back a bright beam of sunshine, which turns our tears to jewels of promise. Her God has set the bow of His promise, and He leaves us not alone in the presence of the unknown. Instead of the Sabbaths of earth she now enjoys the never ending Sabbath of heaven awaits the coming of scores of loved ones to follow, and that Sabbath is not far distant, at best, when the love of Christ shall bid thee enter in and to share with her unending, unalloyed joy.
Just a few days before her death, a grand-daughter was playing the music; "Tis so Sweet to Trust in Jesus," and the good old "Grandmother," for she was widely known as such, sang strongly the words of the music, it being a favorite of hers. Besides her husband, her children, many loved ones, and scores of warm friends throughout Gillespie, Blanco and Burnet counties, she has lived in the latter many years, she leaves behind all to mourn her death. She had 52 grand children and 49 great grand children.
The last services were held Saturday afternoon at Wolf Crossing cemetery in presence of many who had gone to pay this grand old lady a last sad parting, Rev. J. G. Walker, pastor of Kingsland Methodist church, conducting the ceremony, Songs were touchingly sung by friends gathered around. Flowers were many and beautiful than the face that rested so peacefully among them. Beautiful in life, beautiful in death, but far more beautiful in the glorious resurrection morn. She fought the fight, she kept the faith. Her fame shines bright and clear. And her memory lives in all our hearts. Which will hold it ever dear. From a friend.

IN MEMORY OF MACE WILLIAMS.
The charactor of this sketch was born in Madison County, Arkansas, about the year 1833. No one knows his exact age but he was near 76 years of age.
He came to Texas when a mere boy and settled in Williamson County, near Georgetown, and remained there until the Civil War broke out. He then worked in the tan yard and on the hay field preparing leather and hay for the Confederate army.
After the war he wandered about among strangers until about fifteen years ago he came to Burnet county and settled with his sister, Mrs. Mitcheltree, at whose home he died, July 13, 1908.
He obeyed the Gospel in 1894 under the preaching of R.T. Howell. His body was laid to rest in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery, July 14, at 4 o'clock Elder W.A. Shultz conducting the funeral service.
In the death of Uncle Mace we realize that another one of Texas old land marks is gone, and when we look about us we can only see a few that remain to tell us of the early days of our Lone Star State.
To the bereaved relatives we can only say that God does all things well; and in the near future we will be permitted to meet our loved ones in that home where parting comes no more and where sickness and pain are unknown.

Another Good Man Gone
T. J. (Dick) Williams was born in Yell County, Ark., August 13, 1854. Emigrated to Burnet County, Texas, in 1856, and remained here until his death, which occurred Tuesday evening, March 6, 1906, when God, the ruler of Heaven and Earth, saw fit to reach forth His hand and say: "Thy work upon Earth is finished."
Dick was my bosom friend for twenty-one years, he being the first man I met when I came to this county, and I have been closely and intimately connected with him ever since.
I have tried since his death to think on one man that he had willfully wronged, or had ever spoken harshly of, but failed. He was always ready and willing to aid and assist the poor and needy, and feed the hungry.
My ability is not sufficient to deal out justice to him. It has never been my good pleasure to meet with a man that lived up to the golden rule closer than he. His friends were numbered by his acquaintances. To know him was to love him. He was a loving husband, a kind and indulgent father, a good, law-abiding citizen. If he ever had an enemy, I never knew it.
His body lay in state at the Sycamore school house, where impressive and appropriate services were conducted by Elder Knox of Bertram, after which he was taken charge of by the Masons of Mt. Horeb Lodge, where he held membership. The largest crown of sympathizing and sorrowing friends I ever saw at a funeral paid their last respects to him.
He will be sadly missed in this community, while we realize his spirit is in the hands of a just and merciful God. -A Friend

Orvil Wingren Dead
Orvil Wingren died Saturday evening June 20th, 1925, at his mother's home in Burnet, following an attack of acute indigestion, with which he was stricken about three hours before his death. The body was held until Monday morning pending the arrival of relatives. The funeral service was held at the family home, Rev. C. C. McKinney, Methodist pastor, officiating. After the religious service, the Masonic brethren of deceased took charge of the remains and in their impressive and solemn manner conducted the burial service, at the Odd Fellows Cemetery. The pallbearers were : Luke Hearn, Clain Gibbs, L. Debo, Bunk Gibbs, Clint McDaniel and John Pogue.
The following from a distance attended the funeral: Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Wingren from Meridian, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Wingren and son from Dallas, Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Vogelman from Mercedes, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Wingren, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Wingren and children from Dallas, Mr. and Mrs. Magnus Wingren and children from Sunny Lane, Mrs. Roy Fretrell from Florence, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Cox from Lake Victor, Mr. and Mrs. Kyle Oliver from Lampasas, Mrs. Benton Roberts from Lampasas, Bro. Hocutt from Austin, Bro. Taylor from Bertram, and Mrs. Douglas Savage from Bertram. During the funeral every business house in town closed and the funeral procession was very large.
Orvil Wingren was born in Burnet on December 5th, 1887, and lived here practically all his life, with the exception of the time he spent in the army during the World War, and occasional trips he would take for the benefit of his health. His health failed him during the war, and while he was discharged from the army, he was still under the control and treatment of the army physicians.
Burnet County has never produced a finer young man than the deceased, and his friends were numbered by all who knew him. It has been the writer's privilege and pleasure to be associated very intimately with the Wingren family during the past twenty years. Never have we known a family of children that had the welfare and comfort of their mother more at heart than the Wingren's. Orvil and all of them have been as careful of her welfare as it is possible for mortal man to be toward another person. It is almost a benediction to observe these sons in their actions towards their mother.
Deceased is survived by his mother, a sister, Mrs. L. J. Vogelman of Mercedes, Ray Wingren of Burnet, Ralph Wingren of Meridian, and Oscar and Clyde Wingren of Dallas. The Bulletin joins the numerous friends of the family in extending heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved mother, sister and brothers. May the All-Wise Father, in whom they all believe comfort them in their sorrow is our prayer.

Died at her home at Dobyville, on the night of the 21st, Mrs. Adaline Wolf. Her sickness had been long and painful, but was borne with Christian fortitude and patience. She was much beloved by all with whom she was acquainted. She possessed unbounded faith in the Christian religion. "Grandmother Wolf" as she was familiarly called, was a kind mother, an obliging neighbor, and hospitable friend, as hundreds can testify. She was modest and unassuming, yet steadfast and unwavering, and manifested great interest and zeal in the cause of Christ, by her unspeakable faithfulness, wonderful energy, and Christian example. The Church of Christ of which she was a member, can ill afford to sustain so great a loss. "Blessed are they that die in the Lord. Henceforth they rest from their labors and their works do follow them. " S. L. BARKER.
