Walnut Springs Hustlerings
From THE HUSTLER
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Chafin,

12:30 p.m. as a result of a heart
attack and cerebral hemorrhage

She had been in bad health for
the past few years. Funeral ser-
vices were held in the Baptist
Church on Saturday at 4:00 p.m.
conducted by the pastor, ReVi B.
0. Baker. An unusually large
number, many of whom were
from out-of-town, attended these
services which were very impres-
sive. The floral offerings were
many and beautiful and attested
the love and esteem of all who
knew her. Interment was made
in the Fulton Cemetery a few
miles west of Walnut Springs.
Mary E. McKay was born to Sam-
uel and Martha McKay on May
27, 1866, at Bastrop, and was
united in marriage to Ralph W.
C. Chafin at Axtell on Nov. 17,
1887, and to this union ten chil-
dren were born. Mrs. Chafin was
preceded in death by her husband
and three children—James, Gracie
Chafin Fulton and Gussie May.
The following children, all of
whom were with their beloved
mother when she passed away, are
Tom Chafin of Houston, Jack
Chafin of Ft. Worth, Edd Chafin
of Tyler, Ralph and Bob Chafin
of Cleburne, Lester Chafin of
Granbury, Mrs. Eula Chafin Dan-
iels of Walnut Springs. She is
also survived by 16 grandchildren
and 16 great grandchildren.
The Methodist revival at the
tabernacle is being attended by
I many people of this community
all of whom enjoy the interesting
and instructive sermons delivered
by Rev. Floyd Thrash, pastor of
the Clifton Methodist Church.
We are glad to learn that Den-
ny McCarty, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Mac McCarty, is recovering nicely
from an emergency appendix
operation he underwent in the

noon.
Mr. and Mrs. Jess Jenkins,
Mesdames Robertson, E. M.
Adams, L. R. Whiteley, Misses

Church at Glen Rose last Satur-
day evening. The bride, a daugh-
ter of Judge and Mrs. Eugene

local public school for some time
and has many friends here with
whom the Hustler joins in exten-
ding best wishes to the happy
couple.

coo! as a breeze-swem, shady, open porch.

fortable night's sleep no matter how tor-
rid the weather
