RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
Whereas our fellow member, Clyde
Hollaway, a member of the graduat-
ing class of Hondo High School of
1912, departed this life on December
10, 1939; now, therefore, be it re-
solved by the Alumni Association of
the Hondo High School that it has
lost a most worthy and esteemed
member, one always an uplift to the
things most worthwhile in the com-
munity and whose beautiful life and
character shall ever be our cherished
memory.
Be it further resolved that copies
hereof be sent to his family and to
the press.

VALDINA RACE STOCK
CALIFORNIA
GO TO
in the fall of the same year
Their first abode was on the Swh-
inal River, at the old Rheiner place
which is now known as the old Wood-
ley home lAter Mr. and Mrs Sant-
leben moved on up the canyon and
built them a small house on Hack-
berry Creek. They lived there awhile
and then followed a cow trail on up j
Blanco (’reek and built a nice ranch j
home, where most of their family j
were born and reared. Lumber from |
their first little home on Hackberry ‘
Creek was built into one of the J
rooms of their home which still j
stands on the Blanco.
Mr. Santleben preceded his wife in {
death five years. He died in Novem-
ber 1935.
This fine old couple were of that
sturdy heroic type of pioneers who
laid deep and firm the foundation of
our present civilization and prosjxer-
ity and to whom, therefore, we are
indebted for more than we can ever
repay.
Mrs. Santleben's home was noted
for its hospitality. Those who knew j
her spoke of her as a gentlewoman, j j
a devoted wife and an untiring moth- ■ j
er. She was the mother of eleven !
children, seven of whom survive. | j
Truly it is said, “a w’orthy woman
whose hands have done constructive
work has passed to her rewrard.” She
wras a member of the Lutheran
Church, since early childhood as was
her husband.
j Surviving are five sons: Will of
| Utopia; Louie, San Antonio; Edward
Oscar and John, Sabinal; two daugh-
j ters, Mesdames L. P. Horton and C.
L. Cook, Sabinal; ten grandchildren;
j one sister, Mrs. Emma Rheiner, San
Antonio; five brothers, August, La-
Coste, John, Will Henry and Robert
Grosenbacher, San Antonio.
Active pallbearers were her five
grandsons: Eck and LeRoy Horton,
Sabinal, Aubrey Santleben, Richard
Casey, San Antonio; Bill Blocker,
Hondo; one nephew, Earl Tietze.

Funeral services were held Satur-
day afternoon, October 26, for Mrs.
Louisa Grossenbacher Santleben, 83,
at her home in Sabinal. Evangelist
> eakley of the Beacon Hill Church
of Christ conducted the services.
Buiial was made in the Sabinal
| cemetery.
Mrs. Santleben was a member of a
prominent pioneer family, of the
1 Castroville community. She had been
in ill health for several years, but
was able to be up and to visit among
her children and friends when she
was stricken suddenly Friday night
and died in a short while,
j Born Ixxuisa Mina Grossenbacher
! near Castroville in Medina County,
June 27, 1857, she was the first child
of John and Augusta Grossenbacher
who came from Germany with their
parents, married after arriving here
and settled in Castro’s Colony which
is now known as Castroville.
Like most of the early settlers her
father when he made a move, would
settle near a fort. So Mrs. Santleben
received parts of her education here
and there; however, the greater part
was received in Austin.
She was married to John Ferdi-
nand Santleben on March 15, 1879.
His family was also a member of
Castro’s Colony, and the remains of
his home are still to be seen a few
miles east of Castroville on Highway
90. They moved to Uvalde County

The huge expansion program now
under way in the U. S. Navy requires
that thousands of new men be en-
listed and trained for petty officer
ratings. In civil life when an organ-

perienced young men are enlisted
and trained to fill such vacancies.
Thousands of vacancies exist in tho
Navy in all lines of work and all will
be filled by enlisting untrained men
who within a few months after en-
listment will have compleeted the ba-
sic training which will enable them to
become specialists. Four months af-
ter enlisting they are automatically

of $15 per month in pay. Four
