Masons Plan Big
Meet Tonight
Funeral services for Mrs. A. E. Rick-
man were held Monday afternoon at 31
o’clock at East McKinney Christian
Church. Rev. A. L. Clinkenbeard and
Rev. Earl Rogers conducted the ser-
vices. Burial in the Wilson Chapel
Cemetery, under the direction of the
Isaac Crouch Funeral Home.
Mrs. Rickman died Sunday night at
11 o’clock at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Lud Smith, 909 East Anthony
Street.
She was born April 24, 1854. For
more than 52 years she had lived in
Texas.
Surviving are two daughters, Mrs.
Lud Smith and Mrs. M. S. Davis,
both of this city. Two brothers, T.
L. McMenamy of Waurika, Okla.; and
B. E. McMenamy of Elk City. Okla.;
and a sister. Miss Henrietta McMen-
amy of near McKinney. Eleven grand-
children and several great grandchil-
dren also survive.
Pallbearers were: Carl Jenkins,
Jack Enloe, Russell Steele, Harvey
Simmons, Jess Creason and Shield
Viers.
Whereas, Death has invaded our
midst and removed one of our most
valuable members, E. S. Brown, our
efficient and highly esteemed secre-
tary-treasurer for more than 16 years,
therefore be it
Resolved, that we thus formally ex-
press our appreciation of his life and
ability, integrity and purity of char-
acter and social virtues lived among
us. He was faithful to every trust
that was ever reposed in him, render-
ed distinctly superior service in every
relationship of life. He served our
county as one of its most responsible
officials, and our city as secretary un-
til he resigned April 1st, 1922, to ac-
cept work with our company. His
church honored him with places of
trust. He was a thorough gentleman,
a modest and blameless citizen, a
kind and true friend, who has gone
before us into that silent realm where
both nature and revelation teach us
immortal life awaits him, and where
his friends and loved ones may hope
that at the close of this life’s scenes,
they will again meet him and be for-
ever united. |
Resolved further, that these resolu- Drain while h^r husband was
tions be spread upon the minutes of '1oor bnn+ a's,,+T‘
our company, and also given to the
press for publication, and a copy
transmitted to the family of the de-
ceased with the assurance of our sym-
pathy .and condolence with them in
their bereavement.
The above resolutions were passed
at the regular monthly meeting of
the directors of the Collin County
Farmers Mutual Insurance Company
m^McKinney, Texas, on January 2nd,
This morning’s Dallas News con-

Humanity was his job—not politics.
For 20 years Judge F. E. Wilcox sat
on the Fifty-Ninth District Court
bench in Sherman and in McKinney,
hearing cases ranging from civil law-
suits over comparative trifles to crimi-
nal actions involving the very lives of
persons who came before him.
In all cases, little or big, .he was
fair. He was an earnest seeker after
the truth, and was not to be deceived
by courtroom maneuvers. He dealt
out justice according to the laws of
the land, and often tempered it with
the mercy that was in his heart.
Seldom, indeed, did a higher court
reverse a case handled by him. He
was proud of that fact. He knew the
law, and he knew his fellow men.
They knew him, too, and loved him.
Those who entered his court—law-
yers, litigants or criminals—held him
in greatest respect. They knew that,
regardless of the nature of their cas-
es, here was a man who could deal
justly with them.
His was a political office, but no
one ran against him at election time.
His ability, his. honesty and his sin-
cerity were beyond question or re-
proach. Seekers after office were well
aware of this, and of the people’s1
great affection for him.
The square-shooting nature of Judge
Wilcox was not confined to his court-
room. Throughout his public life—
at McKinney city attorney, member of
the state legislature, Collin County
judge, and district judge—he was
known for his kindness. These kind-
nesses he performed because he
wanted to do something for his friends
and never has it been said of him
that his actions were guided by poli-
tics.
Judge Wilcox won’t be on the bench
any more. Ill health forced him to re-
tire last November 26.’ He died Sun-
He left behind him a task well
for

Mr. B. W. Veazy visited his mother, ^liat day. Three of the board’s nine

Allred and Oneal long have been
warm friends, and Oneal, while in the
Senate, supported nearly of the Gov-

The education board’s most impor-
