                 Mrs. Jas. Masssie On August 19th
Deceased was Past Worthy Matron Order of Eastern Star, Local Chapter

  Mrs. Minnie Massie, wife of James L. Massie, died at the family residence
on August 19, following an illness of long duration.  For many weeks she
had been confined to her bed and everything was done for her that human
hands could do.  Funeral services were held at the Baptist Church Friday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. R. C. McCullough, assisted by Rev. Ennis B.
Hill.  Interment was made in the Junction Cemetery.
  Mrs. Minnie Massie was born in Blanco county, but moved with her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Stephen, to Kimble county when a child and spent her
life in this community.  She was married to James L. Massie on August 8,
1914, and to this union one son, Carlton, was born.  The husband and son
survive.  She is also survived by three sisters--Mrs. Willie Timberlake,
San Saba; Mrs. John Livingston, Gadsden, Arizona and Mrs. Dan Bihl, Fort
Stockton--and five brothers--Bob, Tiel and Cleve Stephen, Junction; Sid
Stephen, Fort Stockton and Roy Stephen, Ramona, California. All were present
at the funeral except Mrs. Livingston and Roy.
  She was an honored member of the Order of the Eastern Star, being a Past
Worthy Matron.
  Early in life she became a member of the Baptist Church and was active in
church work until her health failed.  She was a faithful teacher in the
primary department of the Sunday School for a long time.  In her homegoing,
her husband has lost a devoted wife, the son, a loving mother, and the
church a true member.  She is gone to her eternal home, but her good 
influence will continue to live in the hearts and lives of those with whom 
she came in contact.
