Ethel Small

  Funeral services for Mrs. Ethel Small, 88, of Galveston,
formerly of Many, were held Monday, August 26, 1996, at Memorial
Chapel of First Baptist Church, at 2 p.m., with Rev. Bobby Smith,
and Rev. Denton Bassett officiating. Interment was Tuesday,
August 27, at Many Cemetery.

  Mrs. Small passed away Saturday, August 24, at John Sealy
Hospital in Galveston, Tex. She was born October 20, 1907. She
lived most of her life in Many. Galveston had been her home for
the past 21 years. Her devotion and commitment to God and family
was an example to her children, grandchildren, and all who knew
Mrs. Small. She was a faithful member of the First Baptist Church
in Galveston, where she taught an adult Bible Class until her
health failed. Her dedication to, and care for people endeared
her to Holland House residents.

  Mrs. Small was preceded in death by her husband, Benaugh Small.

  She is survived by one son, Robert Small of Zavalla, Tex.; three
daughters, Faye Simion of Galveston, Tex., Bobbie Begnaud of
Abbeville, and Delores Letsos and her husband George of
Galveston; one sister, Grace Jackson; one brother, Arthur
McCollister, both of Many; a dear sister-in-law, Kathleen Broyles
of Ruston; five grandchildren; and eight great grandchildren; and
many nieces and nephews.
