62 Year Old Laredo Woman Dies At Home
Funeral services for Mrs Samuel Chrisman were held at the family home in Laredo, Sunday afternoon, conducted by Mrs A.H. Smith, wife of the pastor of the Laredo Baptist Church. Burial was in the Richardson cemetery east of Laredo.
Mrs Chrisman died Friday forenoon. A daughter of the late Wm. Brown and wife, she was born on a farm west of Laredo December 31, 1873. In July 1890 she married Mr Chrisman, and they had since resided in the Laredo community.

Everett L. Smith

unknown undated newspaper clipping from grandma grace's book
(not sure if or how he is related...deb)

George Smith received a telegram last week announcing the death of his son, Everett L. Smith on October 19 of measles and pneumonia. Everett left July 25 with the boys who were called into service, going to Camp Funston. He was attached to Co. G. 11th Inf., Replacement, and when last heard from Sept 14 was at Camp Merritt, N.J. and was expecting to sail for "over there" soon. Everett L. Smith was born August 23 1895 near Eagleville and grew to manhood on his father's farm, and was a good, industrious boy. His mother died when he was 12 years old, and he being the oldest he helped his father to keep the family of three brothers and a sister together. He liked his work as a soldier and was liked by his comrades and officers. It is not as yet known where he died, whether on board ship or after his arrival overseas, but he is another one of our brave lads who have made the supreme sacrifice for their country, and to him is given the same honor as though he had met death on the battlefield.
He passed into the great beyond at the age of 23 years, 1 month, and 26 days, there to await the resurrection morn. To the bereaved father and three brothers, Granville, Byron, and Otis, we extend our sympathy.

GLEN A. FOSTER
On Saturday July 28 1934 at 8:30a.m. Glen A. son of Anderson and Etta Foster, aged 23 years, 2 months, and 7 days, was called home.
On Monday preceeding his death, Glen came home, sick with tonsilitis, developing into pneumonia and complications.
All was done that loving hands and physical aid could do, but God in his mercy said, "You have suffered enough, Glen, come Home," and he left us.
Glen was a loving son and brother and always had a smile and a greeting for everyone.
Near the end, he asked Brother Parr to lead in a word of prayer.
He leaves to mourn his departure, a loving mother and father, two sisters, Hazel and Blanche, two brothers Ward and Carl, an aged grandfather, three nieces and one nephew. Also a very dear friend, Miss Ruth White, who was away at the time of his sickness and death. Two sisters, Opal and Alma preceded him in death.
A loved one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home
Which can never be filled.
Pallbearers: Dale White, Basil Shepard, Ray Shepard, Cloyd Nickerson, Floyd Robertson, Harl Neff.
Flower girls: Christina Davisson, Alice Hobbs, Christine Mitchell, Lucille Terry, Lyda Mae Planck, Erma Lee Dale.
Funeral services and interment at Christian Union, conducted by the Rev. Parr.
