The cemetery board would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for your interest, concerns, and contributions to the cemetery.
This report is written as an update of the cemetery's business and accomplishments. July 10 1976 a Cat Creek Cemetery Association was incorporated to form an endowment fund for the maintainance of the cemetery. Only interest from the fund can be used for maintainance. An endowment means the portion of an institutions income derived from donations. The board has chosen to re-invest the interest each year to the original endowment to proved for the future upkeep of the cemetery, realizing interest rates will become lower, while the upkeep will increase, and have relied on individual pledges to the mowing fund. Thanks to you who contributed Memorial Day, or have contributed through Memorial Flower Funds this has been possible.
The board strives to keep the lawn presentable through the year, for we know how important this is to you who visit your loved ones.
The treasurer of the cemetery is bonded. The board feels this necessary for the protection of the treasurer, board members and the endowment fund. The bonding is not a lack of confidence but good legal business.
Legal by-laws are being reviewed and rewritten for approval by the board. A copy of these by-laws will be available by writing one of the board members.
The board is concerned about the condition of the many stones in need of repair and erection, and feels a need to share this concern with you. Many of the stones have no relatives left to be concerned or contribute, and many have relatives living at a distance unaware of the conditions, and address unknown. The board discussed the possibility of establishing a separate fund to which donations may be made to refurbish the stones. It may be necesary to do only a part of the cemetery each year. A copy of this report will be sent to those who have stones in need of repair if address is available.
Garvin Maulin and Ronald Smith are members of the mowing committee.
The mowing fund has a seperate checking account. Your memorial day contributions & memorial floral gifts are placed in this account. As of April 31 1992 the balance was $377.47. The cemetery was mowed 7 times in 1991, at the cost of $497.00.
The total endowment in C.D.s is $13,702.22. A savings account is $705.28 waiting to be accumulated enought for another certificate of deposit.
The board thanks you for your interest. If you care to make contributions send them to any board member indicating how you wish your contributions to be utilized.
Thanks, Cat Creek Cemetery Board

Tempter Grill Menu
from Grandma Grace's book
note on back: "Mrs. Winona (Vern) Smith gave me this history.
Henry Fisher, Ira Desper & Vern Smith started the Tempter Grill, which was located on Five Points. Just off of Main Street on Tenth Street. Mr Fisher took care of (can't read), Mr Desper the book work & Mr Smith was cook. Mr Fisher and Mr Desper where white and Mr Smith was colored (Negro.) Mr Fisher decided to start a restaurant
So he went in on the corner of Main and Tinsman Avenue. Which is now Howards Dept. Store. He ran it for 2 years and then went into Furniture Store with Mr Meeker on North Main across from where the college is. Mr Desper then left and went to Illinois to work as a bookkeeper for an uncle. Mr Smith run it for a few years and then sold out. Then he managed the Plaza Coffee Shop for 2 years. Then bought the Blue Moon Cafe on Main St. Just a short distance from stop light. He managed that until he retired.
Mr Smith passed away July 19 1988 at Trenton Mo at the age of 92.
(deb's note: Vern & Winona were Grandma & Grandpa's neighbors across the street...when you'd go to visit Grandma & Grandpa, Winona would lean out the door to tell you hello, or that Grandma & Grandpa weren't home, or she'd have cookies, she gave us a little dresser when Koren was born that we still have. They were a very nice couple. Grandma & Grandpa had a lot of nice neighbors, it was a good neighborhood to raise kids in!)

Obituary-Brown
unknown undated obit from grandma graces book
OBITUARY-BROWN
Etha May Wissler, daughter of Rudolph and Pane (Smith) Wissler was born March 2 1884 near Hatfield, Mo. where she grew to young womanhood. She departed this life Dec. 31 1967 at the age of 83 years, 9 months, and 29 days.
On Aug. 28 1904 she was united in marriage to Francis Marion Brown, who preceded her in death Aug. 30 1945. To this union were born four children, Albert Everett, William Wiley, Jennie and Francis Eugene. Two sons, Albert and Francis, preceded her in death, also her father, mother, sister, Estel Markum, and one brother, Elmer. Survivors are the son, William, daughter, Mrs. Jennie Neill, son-in-law Sherman Neill, with whom she had made her home since the death of her husband, also several cousins, nieces and nephews. Some of whom had lived in her home and been cared for.
She had been very ill for several months and tenderly cared for by her daughter and husband and son, William.
She with her parents moved to Gilman City in 1902, where the remainder of her life was spent. She was converted when a young girl near Hatfield and later united with the Christian Union Church near her home. May was a kind, loving wife and mother, a good neighbor and always made her friends welcome in her home. She will be sadly missed for she was well loved by many.
Precious memories of a dear mother.
"She always learned to watch for us,
Anxious if we were late;
In winter by the window,
In summer, by the gate.
"And though we mocked her tenderly,
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because she waited there.
"Her thoughts were all so full of us,
She never could forget!
And so I think that where she is,
She must be watching yet.
"Waiting till we come home to her,
Anxious if we are late;
Watching from Heaven's window,
Leaning from Heaven's gate."
Funeral services were held Wednesday, Jan. 3 at Christian Union Chapel, conducted by the Rev. Wayne Caulkins. The Rev. Caulkins and family sang "Precious Memories", "How Beautiful Heaven Must Be", and "Beyond the Sunset".
Pallbearers were Jay Welsh,Darrel Ratliff, James Ratliff, Leo Turner, Lester Robertson and Hubert Carter.
Flower girls were Juanita Welsh, Marjorie Flint, Marian Carter, Alta Harrison, Chloe Carpenter, Aville Robertson, Accalene Taylor and Deloris Ratliff.
She was laid to rest beside her husband in the cemetery near the church.
Card of Thanks
The family wishes to extend their sincere thanks to all the friends and relatives for the many acts of kindness show, for the food, cards, beautiful flowers and words of comfort, and especially to Rev. Caulkins and family for the beautiful songs and prayers. Also to Dr Cross for his care of our mother during her long illness. May God bless each of you.
