ALTO. TKXAB-THURSDAY, JULY 16. lW
Alto Super Seniors
lelebrate Fourth
The Super Seniors of Hilltop Bap-
tist Church met Tuesday, July 1
from 10 to 11 a.m. for fellowship
whilo drinking coffee end punch.
Upon entering the "Little Chapel
in the Gym/' the people’s thoughts
turned to the beginning of the
hoUday weekend of July 4th as they
looked upon each of the nine long
tables that held a white bud vase
with a single red rose with bows of
red, white and blue ribbons, fixed
by Jessie Ash.
At 11 Hubert Davis called the
laughing, talking and happy group
to order as Frank Kelly led the
opening song, "Victory in Jesus,”
as Jo Morgan accompanied at the
piano. Marvin Wortham led the
prayer.
Hubert recognized visitors with
the members, and ones attending
for the first time. Then in his
gracious manner he ii/Uud"' -d
Marcell Johnson from Pollock who
is a “Christian Willing Worker.” He
worked all last week and is working
this week upon the new Hilltop Bap-
tist Church.
Hubert reported that a group of
"Builders for Christ" from the
Trinity Baptist Church of Port Ar-
. thur will arrive next Sunday after-
noon July 6th and set up to begin
work on the church. He said that
plans are to serve sandwiches,
chips and dips and homemade ice
cream after church service for a
"Get Acquainted” time.
Youth Revival Services will be
sponsored by the group from Port
Arthur, and scheduled for Sunday
through Friday at 7:30 p.m. the
week of July 6th through 10th.
Vacation Bible School will be
sponsored by First Baptist of
Emory, the week of July 14th
through 18th, from 9 until 12 noon,
the Junior High and High School
Group will meet at 7 p.m. nightly
and go to various places.
Lindsey Davis delighted the
group with the song, “I’m A
Promise.”
Bro. BUI Morgan’s greeting was a
portion of "Gray’s Eulogy,” and
then he said, "We are ptechMj.m
the sight of the Lord.”
He stated the cross for the front of
the new Hilltop Baptist Church had
been given, honoring Hubert and
Virginia Davis by their children
and families for the Christian life
that their parents always lived. He
asked the couple to come to the
front of the chapel. It was a com-
plete surprise to them. All the Super
Seniors agreed that the "honor”
gift was well deserved!
Virginia recognized the birthday
and anniversary people for July.
Hubert took Joe and Maudie
Cruseturner’s picture with
Maudie’s surprise birthday cake
that Joe provided for her to share
with the group. Then the “Happy
Birthday” song was sung to these
special July people.
After the covered dish dinner,
Hubert introduced the leader,
Tommy Harden. Music/Youth
director, Gateway Baptist Church
of Whitehouse, Tx. who brought the
program in songs as he accom-
panied himself on the piano.
Hubert dismissed the 91 mem-
bers, visitors and guests with
prayer.
Those visiting were Ricky
Perkins, Tony and Misty Adams of
Palestine; Marcell Johnson of
Pollock; John and Marlece Davis
and children, Cody and Lindsey of
Humber; Kooter and Dorothy
Smith and Meredith Barlow of
Houston; Betty Allen of Cleveland;

eight “Christian Workers.”

Friday the 4th of July, that we
have bo recently celebrated, was a
day long to be remembered. We
were honoring the birthday of our
nation and the 100th birthday of the
Statue of Liberty. Words are
inadequate to describe the things
seen and heard on TV that took place
.on New York Harbor. The Statue of
Liberty was the center of attrac-
tion. When we look at the statue we
think of freedom, peace, and good
will to every nation. People all over
the nation celebrated in various
ways. It is a wonderful thought to
know that we were born in the
U.S.A. and that we are Americans.
Graveside funeral services for
Mrs. Katie Bennett Larabell of
Robstown were held Thursday
morning in the Weches Cemetery
west of Alto. The Bennett family
lived inthe Linwood community
many years ago and the children at-
tended Grange Hall School. There
were ten children in the family,
seven girls and three boys. Mrs.
Larabell’s death broke the family
circle. All family circles will be
broken some time. The community
extends their sympathy to all of the
family especially Mrs. Mae Adams,
a sister, and her husband Edward
who live in the Linwood com-
munity.
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Silverthorn
of Houston spent Thursday night
and Friday with Mrs. Silverthorn’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Adams.
We are happy to report that Miss
Lois Goff, who spent a week in
Memorial Hospital in Nacogdoches
was able to return home Wed-
nesday.
Mr. and Mrs. Marion Lloyd
Adams, their son, Eddie and his
girlfriend from Pasadena spent
part of the holidays at their mobile
home in the Linwood Community.
Jerry Harris of Talco, Texas,
enroute to Houston to make a trip to
Washington D.D. with his mother,
Mrs. Jeannean Harris, spent Thur-
sday night with his grandparents
