Holford Writes "Thirty"
--— . ."w d
W. A. " Bill” Holford, for more than forty -three years
connected with this paper in capacities ranging from prin-
ter’s devil to editor and publisher, wrote “thirty” at the end
of his take on the story of life about 6 p. m. Saturday. He
severed his connections with The Garland News ten years
ago intending to spend some time hunting and fishing.
He did none of these. Bill had worked too hard to make
his paper the best possible, and to serve his constituency
and his town, and so he continued to exert his efforts for
their best interests to the time of his passing.
Bill was one of the old school editors who received his
training by his own perserverance. He fought for what he
thought was right regardless of the number on the opposing
side, and if defeated bore no malice to his opponents.
He was especially proud of the progress Garland made
during the years and was always ready to expend his time
and money for her improvement. The mark of his endeavors
will always be in evidence in the city’s history. His ready
word for any civic improvement will be missed in the com-
munity meetings.
Truly a great citizen has passed to his reward.

To The Garland News:
In the passing of Will Holford,
Garland loses one of her most
useful and best-loved citizens—a
man for fifty-three years lived and
loved and labored for the town
that he chose for his home when a
16 year-old boy.
Many years ago, Washington
Irving wrote this', exalted senti-
ment: ""The sorrow for the dead
is the one sorrow from which we
refuse to be divorced. To call to
mind the forms and faces of our
friends who walk with us no
more;to live over in memory , our
hours of friendship and fellowship
with them, tho’ bringing a tinge
of sorrow to our hearts, yet like-
wise bringing iback the old days of
happy companionship with those

way, with love and helpfulness for
his friends and his family.
We all shall miss him, in the
various walks of life, his sincere
greetings and his original and
picturesque expressions.
The memory of Will Holford re-
minds me of the definition given
by some writer, of "‘A Gentle-
man : A man that is clean inside
and out; who neither looks up to
the rich or down at the poor; who
can lose without squealing and
win without bragging; who is con-
siderate of women and children
and old people; who is to brave to
lie, too generous to cheat, and who
takes his share in the world, and
lets other people have theirs.”.
So, farewell, Will We shall miss
you, but your life, and influence

what his right hand was doing. A
sort of aloneness made it hard for
him to express himself in speech,
but he more than made up for this
in his writings. Many people, both
old and young, have letters of en-
couragement, congratulations or
condolence we are sure they trea-
sure as his children do the ones
he has written them.
“At times the dead are closer
to us than the living, and the wis-

lives, projecting a guardian care

fully understand until they have
become memories. ’ ’

love and loyalty to her family,

She was a model wife and moth-

Her friends never found her lack-

Star Chapter, she was loved and
honored and her loyalty to her
chapter was unbounded. All of
these things were expressed in the
daily duties of her life. And in-
deed. she had been a most faithful
and efficient secretary to our

Saturday evening, May 31, the
spirit of our dad went over the
sunset trail, death catching up at
last with him who had an insati-
able zest for living life. Many times
in his active life he had been near
sudden death by accident, but as
his disease caught with him, we
think thib poem expresses his at-
titude, for he had been ill a long
time:
“Now is death merciful. He calls
me hence
Gently, with friendly soothing of
my fears
Of ugly age and feeble impotence
And cruel disintegration of slow
years.
Nor does he leap upon me unaware
Like some wild beast that hungers
for its prey,
But gives me kindly warning to
N8
years old, and his mother was not
able to give him the schooling and
other opportunities that a growing
and ambitious youth should have.
But he had an active mind and
the will to overcome obstacles, so
Will made the best of his limited
resources, and when his future
life opportunity came, he grasped
it with an earnest enthusiasm that
carried him on to a useful and
successful career.
In the early part of the year
1888, one year after the birth of
the Garland News, Will came up
from the little farming neighbor-
hood of iSeagoville, his birthplace,
to visit us, my wife being his
aunt. Being in need of some help
in the printing office, we prevail-
ed upon him. to remain with us,
and learn the printing business.
He was an apt scholar, and in a
Home Ice Co
few weeks was making rapid pro-
gress in “the art preservative of
arts. ’ ’
During the following six or seven
years he lived with us a.s one of
the family, and by his genial dis-,
position and helpful nature, great-
ly endeared himself, not only to
our family, but also to all with
whom he came in contact. He be
came an expert printer, and as the
years rolled by, greatly lightened
my work, in both the editorial and
typographical departments.
During the three years that we
lived in Austin, where I was As-
sistant Secretary of State, under
Governor Culberson, 1896-1899,
Will had the sole management of
the Garland News, editorially and
otherwise, and right well did he
measure up to the duties and re-
sponsibilities entrusted to him. I
had the utmost confidence in his
honesty, integrity and ability to
manage the paper, .and never did
he betray this confidence.
During the later years, when he
bought the paper, and conducted it
for more .than a quarter of a cen-
tury, he developed into one of the
ablest and most successful, as well
as the most universally beloved
newspaper men in the State. The
beautiful and growing little city
of Garland owes more to Will Hol-
ford than any other man for the
progress, growth and “class” of
the town during the past half a
century.
A modest and somewhat reserv-
ed man, Will never courted per-
sonal publicity or popularity, but
was content to go along “the even :
tenor of his way, ’ ’ scattering sym- '
pathetic good will along the path-

loved nature and music and to
whom reading was as necessary
as the air he breathed. His earnest
desire to help especially all boys
who couldn’t seem to get their
feet planted on the right path had
kept him young in his heart. While
many stood in awe of his brusque,
straightforward talks, they loved
him a great deal, and we feel that
he lives on in the hearts of those
he has helped.
Dr. S. D. Myres, Jr., who has
just returned from an extended
trip through Latin America, will
deliver an address covering his
observations in Latin America at
an open meeting sponsored by
Memorial Grove Post No. 384 of
the American Legion, say Ernest
L. Tutt, Commander. This meeting,
Tutt said, will occur at 8:00 p. m.
Monday, June 9, in the auditorium
of Fondren Library on Southern
Methodist University Campus.
Dr. Myres is director of the
School of Government of Southern
Methodist University, director of
the Arnold Foundation, conductor
of the Institute of Public Affairs
which occurs in Dallas each year,
and his recent trip through Latin
America was made under the
auspices of the Carnegie Institute.
Dr. Myres was selected for this
important tour because he has
long been a student of Latin
American Affairs. He had splen-
