And you’re of friends bereft,

Pray, from a joyous, faithful

You’ll find small time to grieve,
The Lord has left you future
gifts
That you would have Him
leave.

BUSINESS MEN’S CLUB
HENRY STUERMER
Friends here were inexpres-
sibly shocked Sunday to hear
of the tragic death of Henry
Stuermer of Harlingen in an
automobile crash on the high-
way between Harlingen and
San Benito about midnight
Saturday. He was riding with
an employee of one of the
Harlingen filling stations, be-
ing blinded by the lights of
an approaching car, they
crashed into the abuttment of
a bridge, killing Mr. Stuermer
instantly, but not seriously in-
juring the other man.
Mr. Stuemer was born at
Oakland thirty years ago, mov-
ing with his parents to Nord-
heim when a child. He was a
graduate of Texas A. & M.
Wedding bells again rang
merrily at St’s. Cyrill and Me-
thodius Church Tuesday
morning when Miss Wilma
Riha, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Riha became the
bride of Frank Filip, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Filip.
Rev. E. J. Bily joined them in
wedlock. The ceremony oc-
curred at 8 :30 a. m.
The bride was attired in a
handsome gown of white broca
ted satin. She wore a long
fitted veil with a cap. The
only ornament the bride wore
was a brooch. Her bouquet
consisted. of chrysanthemums
tied with white ribbons.
The groom wore a dark ox-
ford gray suit.
Adolph Filip and John Kas-
per Sr., acted as witnesses.
The groosmen Were Rubin
Filip and Alfons Tesar who
wore dark suits.
Miss Clara Sauer who was
the maid of honor wore a blue
taffeta dress.
The bridesmaid, Eleonora Ko-
lacny wore a moire taffeta
dress in lavender and both
wore gold headbands.
The flower girl, Catherine
Schultz wore a long pink
taffeta dress with Donald
Filip who acted as ring bearer.
After the ceremony a de-
licious dinner and supper was
served at the bride’s home and
at night a free dance was en-;
ioyed by all at Blucher Park.

surprising to see Yoakum
school busses driving to the
edge of our district in the
next year or so. You ask why ?
Recently Mr. and Mrs. A.
P. Caldwell gave to the Yoa-
kum Public Schools 105 acres
of land located in the Beasley
district. This is to be used as
a Demonstration Farm. Shiner
gets high school pupils from
Beasley now but the rime is
coming, unless something is
done soon, when the high
school pupils will go to Yoa-
kum.
Monday morning at 11:55
the soul of Chas. Strauss Sr.
answered its final summons
and passed again to the God
who gave it, leaving loved
ones bowed down with grief.
He had not been in the best of
health for several years, hav-
ing suffered a slight stroke
about six years ago, but was
apparently all right Monday
morning except for complain-
ing of a slight pain in his
chest. About noon he slipped
j quietly from his earthly home
j at the age of 63 years, six
'months and five days.
Many friends in Shiner,
Moulton, Hailettsville and Yoa
kum were shocked beyond ex-
pression to hear of his sudden
death and messages of sym-
pathy poured in from every
direction. Although born in
Frelsburg on the 17th of May
1874, Shiner claims him for
her own, because he came
with his parents to reside here
when but a young man. He
met, wooed and married, Miss
Caroline Kopecky here in 1899
and this was his home for sev-
eral years, when they moved to
Yoakum where Mr. Strauss
was employed at Roos Bros,
store. After that they lived in
Moulton where he worked for
Jaeggli Bros. They then came
back to Shiner where he was
