Garden Club plants tree in honor
of Ottie Wallace, long-time member
Members of the Rusk Garden
Club honored one of their long-time
members, Ottie Wallace, at Arbor
Day Festivities at the Jim Hogg
State Park. A flowering plum tree
was planted at the park in Mrs.
Wallace's honor.
Because of ill health, Mrs. Wal-
lace was unable to attend. How-
ever, her two grandson, Jim and
Jerry Thompson participated in the
event
Ruby Burchfield, reporter, for the
Garden Club, said the Rusk Garden
Club waB organized in 1942. Mrs.
Wallace came in as a member the
next year.
She has been a very dedicated
member of the club.
Mrs. Wallace served as president
of the club from 1968-70. Her vice-
president was Mrs. Ida Fisher. The
club had a flower show in 1968 with
the theme "Ideas in Flowers" in the
county council room at the court-
house. Also in 1970 another show
"Flower Frolic" was held.
On Arbor Day, Jan. 17,1969, four
cherry laurel trees wee planted on
the school grounds a t the Bradford
School. Also, in 1970, trees were
planted on the school grounds with
the children participate ng. The trees
wee donated by members of the
Garden Club.
Mrs. Burchfield said the club
began having Christmas parties at
Mrs. Wallace's home in 1968. Co-
hostess was Mrs. Jewel Couple. The
annual Christmas parties contin-
ued to be held at the Wallace home
until 1984. "She loved to entertain
and everyone loved her and loved to
go to her house," Mrs. Burchfield
said.
In 1985, Mrs. Wallace's health
was not so good and the club began
to have the parties at other sites.
"We all missed going to her house.
She always used a beautiful silver
punch bowl and cups and china and
silver. She also hosted the Christ-
mas party for her Sunday School
class for a number of years.
Among the club membership
during her tenure of office as presi-
dent were current members
Mrs.George Monroe, Vera O'Neal,
Edna Slover, Jewel Guenther and
Mrs. Coupland.
"I have looked at the old year
books and have seen how much
time and work was done by these
members. I know she did more than
her share.
"We moved to Rusk in 1975 and I
came into the club in 1976. Ottie's
mother and my grandmother
Hugghins were sisters. Ottie was
the only child. Her father died while
she was a child. She always wished
she had some brothers and sisters.
Wayne Pianta, county horticul-
turist, spoke on Arbor Day and its
history. He said the day is officially
observed in the nation in April. In
Texas it is the third week of Janu-

Bill Rose, forester with the Texas
Forest Service spoke on Trees and
their global implications. An acre
of trees provide oxygen for three
people. Forestry is the second larg-
est agricultural product.
Tony Sims of the Alto Indian
Mounds Nursery was among those
who attended.
Two

are named
to dean's list
Two Cherokee County students
have been named to the dean's list
at Sam Houston State University
for the fall semester.

Rusk, a junior student majoring in
criminology and corrections; and
Patrick M. Shea, a junior from
Jacksonville with a major in law
enforcement and political science.
The Dean's List at Sam Houston

averages 4.0.
.lanuury turn been it month of
birthdays and before February gels
here I have to acknowledge nt leant
Home ofthe ones I know of, and they
may not bti in proper numerical
order. Here goes: Do you remember
when the Iiow twins, Aaron and
Amber were the first new babies of
the year at Nacogdoches Medical
Center, Jan. 1? Well, they were six
years old this year! And since then,
they have welcomed a baby brother,
Lance, who is 16 months old and
just as cute as he can be. 1 saw them
all at the D-FY-IT Chili Cook-off
last Saturday, got some nice pic-
tures that will probably have to wait
for next week's paper to run.
Other January birthdays include
Pastor Paul Stalnaker's on the third
and his wife Phyllis's on the fifth of
January. Sharing a birthday on the
12th are Ara Pearman and Nora
Williams. Tom Black will be a year
younger on Jan. 24(f). He is so neat,
Mary Nel Danheim is a lucky lady,
I wish Tom was my Dad!
I must wish an upcoming Happy
Birthday to my friends, Gladys
Jones on the 25th, Nadine Partlow,
and Eloise Williams, both on Jan.
26. A lovely young lady, Jill Ghol-
ston will turn 18 on Jan. 25. You will
recall that Jill was both Homecom-
i ng Queen and Football Sweatheart.
Jill is a senior now and plans to go to
Angelina college next Fall. Happy
Birthday, Jill!
While I was covering the Chili
Cook-off for the paper, I met our
New Alto High School Principal's
family. Clay and Kelly Webb have
two adorable children, Jessica, 7
and little Jared who is four. I took a
picture of the family and hope to
have a profile story on them in an
upcoming issue of the Cherokeean/
Herald. My story and pictures from
the Chili Cook-off you may have
already read in this issue.

Sherri L. Lankford has been pro-
moted in the U.S. Air Force to the
rank of airman first class.
Airman Lankford is a surgical
service specialist at Eaker Air Force
Base, Blytheville, Ark.
She is the daughter of David and
Brenda Petty of Alto.
Her husband, Kevin, is the son of
Gladys Lankford of Route 4, Rusk.
She is a 1986 graduate of Rusk High
School.
Llitati writing this column) and it is
ftlll to be buck, especially seeing Lh<i
kids almost grown up that Were in
elementary school when I Inst took
their pictures. Reporter Jean Ixiwry
has had to move to Conroe lo lt ok
after her ailing mother. So, if you
have something wonderful (or even
just interesting) call me and I'll try
to write about it or take pictures,

I^ast week when I wrote this col-
umn America had not yet begun to
fight in the Persian Gulf. Now we
are in the second week of operation
Desert Storm. I have learned of some
more area men who are over there
or on the way. Margaret Clark's
son, Kenneth is in the Army and,
along with Randy Brannon they are
about to be deployed to Saudi Ara-
bia. Teresa Bobbitt's brother, Grady
Hogg is in the war zone, too. So
please, keep these young men in
your prayers.
My friend and co-grandmother,
Novela Cardin, has a grandson,
Shane, who is in a Marine outfit
called, I believe, the Rangers. These
are the Rambo-like men who are
parachuted into the heart of the
battle. They have been holding
Shane's outfit back somewhere in
Georgia until the war actually
started, in order to keep them "fresh"
for the fighting. Do you remember I
told you about Nancy's brother-in-
law, Scott, who took me to Lawton
for Christmas? Well, Shane is his
wife Linda's son. She has another
son, Clint who is also a Marine.
You know, when I see on TV the
pictures of the "Peace Activists" I
could just weep. Do they think that
anyone really wants war? No one
does, for heaven'B sake, but when it
comes to stopping aggression
against an innocent country and
her people... If Hitler had been
stopped at Czechoslovakia, 50 ¿tril-
lion people would not have had their
lives torn apart in WWII.
