W.I. POLAND PASSES TO GREAT BEYOND
  Again we have been brought face to face with the awful realities of death, 
for on September 15, 1936, one of our beloved citizens, W.I. Poland, passed 
away. He had been failing in health for several years and the last ten or 
twelve months he had suffered much; most of the time confined to his bed.
  Mr. Poland was born and reared in Louisiana. He moved to Texas about 25 
years ago and made his home near Conroe for the past five years. He was 63 
years old at the time of his death. He leaves to mourn his departure his wife, 
Mrs. Laura Poland; five daughters, Mesdames Elsie Tucker, of Dunn, La., Myra 
Conley, Ringgold, La., Myrtis Mott, Magnolia, Texas; Ratha Cox, Tomball, 
Texas; and Miss Lillie V. Poland, Conroe; three sons, Claton Poland, Hingman, 
Ariz.; Tom and Tempton Poland of Conroe; four brothers, Ben and String Poland 
of Crowville, La., and R.C. and Emmett Poland of Conroe, and two sisters, Mrs. 
Carrie Hays and Mrs. Winnie Elliot.
  Mr. Poland was patient through all of his suffering and manifested a noble 
and true Christian spirit. As Paul said in 2 Cor. 4;16, "but though outward 
man may perish; yet the inward man is renewed day by day." As his frail body 
wasted away his spirit became more and more patient and gentle and his faith 
grew stronger. The writer visited and prayed with Brother Poland many times 
and talked to him about his hope of eternal life. He said that he had made his 
calling and election sure and that he was resigned to the Master's will. When 
the end came, he calmly fell asleep in Jesus.
  The funeral services were held by the writer in the Baptist Church at Cut 
and Shoot. We laid him to rest in the Community Graveyard near the church to 
await the blessed call of the first Resurrection.
  Brother Poland was a faithful, loving father, a devoted husband, and a noble 
brother, citizen and friend. He was loved and respected by all who knew him 
and will be missed by all. The following lines are dedicated to his memory:
 
It is sad to know that the time has come
That this precious loved one of the home
Has ceased to walk along the way;
To comfort our hearts from day to day.
His spirit has flown from the silent clay;
To await the call of the Resurrection day
When we again shall see his face;
Shinng with Heaven's holy grace.
Then through the eternal years to come;
Together we live in a more perfect home;
And with loved ones on that blissful shore
Never again to part, no never no more.
J.A. McCain    Conroe, Texas
