  • Obituary: MEMORIAL TO MRS. E. J. MCCALL Year by year the death of the flowers and the falling leaves of Autumn impress us with the fact that the days of man are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth, for the wind passeth over it and it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it no more. The Reaper, whose name is Death, is always lurking in the midst, and ever an anon he plucks one of our most valued and dearly loved and transplants her into “The Land of Memory.â€ï†ï† Oh! the sweet land of memory to those who stay behind, “for how can they be dead when they live in our memory?â€ï†ï† This unrelenting Reaper has recently entered the McCall home in Yarrellton and removed the beloved wife and mother and these lines are written as a loving memorial of her. In all her associations she will be missed for a few in passing leave so rich a heritage. She was a true daughter of the South. She was born in Tupelo, Mississippi on February 25, 1870. Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Freeman, who brought their family to live in Texas in 1880. Their daughter, Miss Bessie Freeman, taught school in Milam County. She married E. J. McCall in 1892 and their home has been a center of hospitality since it was established. They resided in Cameron for several years and Mrs. McCall made a host of friends here. The family have resided in Yarrellton for several years. Mrs. McCall is survived by her husband and four daughters; Mrs. J. C. Perkins, Marion, Jessie, Mrs. E. D. George, one sister, Mrs. Annie F. Taylor of Laredo, and one brother, T. H. Freeman of Rosebud. She died April 19, 1938. Her funeral was held in the Baptist church in Yarrellton by Rev. O. C. Acrey on Thursday afternoon. Many and beautiful floral tributes were sent. Interment was in North Elm Cemetery. Messrs. John Watson, Ernest Vogelsang, Terry Wiley, Herbert Colburn, James Mann and Clarence Colburn, were pall bearers. Mrs. McCall was a member of the Christian church. She was a true and steadfast friend, an ideal wife and mother. Her standards were high and noble. “She is not deadâ€â€ï†Life has but set her free, She has but passed beyond where we can see. Life never lost for her its lovely look. She kept her interest in its thrilling book; To her death came no conqueror in the end, She merely smiled to greet another friend.â€ï†ï† --Contributed.
