MATTHEWS... Reviews Early Life Of Ex-American Legion Head... For a hundred years the Matthews family have been prominent citizens in the prarie section of Franklin Parish. Near Fort Necessity amid old Southern surroundings three generations of this splendid family have lived and wrought. There on the plantation on Saturday, August 23rd, Blanks, youngest son of T.J. and Mrs. Matthews, accidentally met his death. Blanks was one of the finest men of my acquaintance. Reared in an environment typical of the aristocracy of the Old South and educated in our best institutions of learning, his was the charm and dignity representative of our best traditions, but unfortunately fast disappearing from our land. Though only thirty four years of age Blanks was already coming into prominence as a leader in the church and Community affairs. By environment, training and personality he seemed peculiarly fitted to follow the footsteps of the family, always leaders, and take up the various responsibilities if citizenship and the call of duty. His work as a Steward in Boeuf Prarie Church on which board he served during the past year, was such as to command honerable mention. He was proud of the privilege of serving on the Board of his Church, and he brought his splendid energy, intellect and spirit into the cause. How sorely we shall miss him in the months to come only those who worked with him can fully understand. In 1917 at the call of his Country's need Blanks joined the Navy where he served throughout the war. He was prominent in membership and officially in the Winnsboro Post of the American Legion, and was buried with full military honors on Monday, August 25th by the comrades of his post. To mourn his untimely death Blanks leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Matthews of Extension, La., three sisters and one brother. We do not understand the workings of Providence. Life seemed to hold the best in opportunity and responsibility for this noble young man. The world and church have all too few such characters as was he. We bow our heads in reverent and humble submission to Almighty God. We know He makes no mistakes and that the veil which hides from our earthly eyes the secret of His mysterious workings will be lifted at last and we who trust and love Him shall understand. With hope and faith and patiencewe shall await the uplifting. We commit the soul of our friend and brother to God who gave it, resting calmly in the quiet assurance that we will meet him once again in the realm where is no parting, and where God Himself shall wipe the tears from all faces. Hail, Brother, and Farewell. Farewell, Brother, and Hail. Elmer C. Gunn --------------------------------------------------------------------- MATTHEWS, THOMAS JAMES Submitted by Christine Lennon New Orleans Christian Advocate, October 28, 1937. In Memoriam... Thomas James Matthews T. J. Matthews was born to Thomas J. Matthews and Sarah G. Pearce on May 5, 1865, in Extension, La. He passed from this life on August 31, 1937. He was a merchant and a planter all the years of his adult life. At the death of his mother he succeeded her as postmaster of the Extension post office and seved in that capacity for thirty-eight years. He was trustee in the Winnsboro Bank & Trust Co. In all of his business relations he was greatly esteemed and respected. As a citizen, he always stood for things that were honest and right. He made no compromise. He was interested in and concerned about all civic affairs and put himself wholeheartedly into the things that were for the promotion of the welfare of the community and the parish. Mr. Matthews lost his father when a child and was reared by a christian mother. The influence of that early training was shown throughout his life. He united with the Boeuf Prarie Church in August, 1893, under the pastorate of Brother C.F. Staples, and remained a consistent member to the same church until his death. He was loyal and devoted to the church and all of its interests, and for a number of years served as steward and trustee. Mr. Matthews had very definite religious convictions and he stood by them regardless of the consequences. Straight forwardness characterized his true Christian life. He was a kind and loving husband and father. The home life was ever radiant with a wonderful Christian spirit. Many experiences of sickness and sorrow in the home only brought the members of the family closer to one another and their Master. It was always a great joy and privilege for Mr. Matthews to have the preachers in his home, and it was also a rare privilege and pleasure for the preachers to abide there. A noble man of God has gone from us, but he has left us an inspiration and a challenge to continue in the fullfillment of his dreams and the realization of his labors. Mr. Matthews was married to Miss Belle Blanks in 1889, who, with four children- Mrs.Edna M. Clinton, Mrs. Madge Waldroup, Thomas James Matthews, and Mrs. Zelia Clinton, survive him. -Ira W.
