Arnold, died here July 7 at 8:30 p.m. in the house where she was born. Miss Bennie attended school at Cameron and went from here to Virginia in the prosecution of her studies, where she graduated at Virginia College, Roanoke. She died a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal church, South. At the time the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway was in process of construction of through Cameron to Waco, her father, Captain Arnold, was mayor of Cameron. He accompanied the officials of the railway on a trip up the newly constructed road, and took his little daughter with him. They went to view the new town, then being laid off, ten miles above Cameron, and the question of the name for the town arose. It was unanimously agreed that the town should bear the name of the little girl whose sweetness and charm had won all their hearts and Arnold the town was named. B. A.

Wolfe, aged 45, died Thursday night at 10:22 at his home, four miles from Waco, on the South Third street road. His death followed an illness of a year, and his condition since Saturday of last week had been such that he could no longer receive visitors. Mr. Wolfe was able to be out for the last time about a month ago. The funeral will take place Saturday afternoon at 3:20, from St. Paul's Episcopal church, the rector, Rev. W.P. Witsell officiating. Interment will be made at Oakwood. The funeral will be directed by Undertaker L. C. Puckett, Waco and Undertaker Tom Wright, Temple. Florists will be here from various cities in the state to attend the funeral and to look after the floral offerings. The active pallbearers are: Ernest Winkler, George Yard, J.H. Lockwood, E.C. Wosnig, John B. MacNamara, and W.H. Hoffman. Honorary: J.K. Rose, Dr. N.A. Olive, C. M. Seley, Dr. H.C. Black, Bert Smith, R.E.L. Montgomery, W.J. Geiser, R.G. Wenland, and Judge Richard R. Munroe. Tom Wolfe had been a resident of Waco for the last 27 years. He was born in Birmingham, England, September 19, 1875, and he was reared in India, where he attended school as a boy. He came to Waco with his parents from Bombay, in 1892 and had lived here since that time. Mr. Wolfe was perhaps the best known florist in Texas, and one of the most prominent in the south west of those engaged in the floral business. He took active charge of the floral house established by his father, James Wolfe, at the latter's death, some years ago, and the firm was incorporated and known as Wolfe, the Florist, which became a household designation in Texas. No man in the United States was more successful as a florist than Mr. Wolfe, and certainly none had wider knowledge or more thorough comprehension of the floral world. His greenhouses on South Third street have been recognized for years as one of the show places of Texas, and the beauty of the flowers therein resulted from the personal care attention and supervision given by Tom Wolfe. The organization of the Texas Association of Florists was due more to the efforts and progressive tendencies of Tom Wolfe than to any other man in the state. The florists of Texas met here, when the state organization was formed and Mr. Wolfe naturally was chosen as first president of their state association. In recognition of his worth, he was made a lifetime member and a director of the Society of American Florists. He was also a director in the Florist Telegraph Delivery. When war was declared on Spain by the United States, in 1898, Tom Wolfe enlisted as a member of the Second Texas and was given the rank of quartermaster sergeant. He served until the war ended, with the complete surrender of the Spanish Forces. Mr. Wolfe was in the same company with Congressmen Tom Connally, the latter being regimental sergeant major, and the battalion of which Brigadeer General Beaumont B. Buck, then major, was commanding officer. Mr. Wolfe had been a Mason for many years. He belonged to Hella Temple Shrine, Dallas; was a Knight Templar and past exalted leader of the Waco lodge of Elks. Because of the valued service he had rendered the Elks, he was made a lifetime member of the local lodge. Mr. Wolfe was also a Knight of Pythius, a Rotarian, and a member of the Lion's Club here. With Tom Wolfe, no state in the Union was comparable with Texas. His summary of his life, while brief, was most interesting. Of himself, he said "I was born in England, raised in India, turned loose in Texas and dehorned at Beaumont." Never before has greater solicitude been manifested as to the condition of any Wacoan than was in evidence during the last illness of Mr. Wolfe. This was evidenced in the many telegraph and telephone messages that reached the family in the days when he was making his battle for life, and the only one in which he lost. The death of Tom Wolfe comes as a personal loss to thousands in Waco, men in all walks of life who came in contact with him daily, and to whom he never changed. It were impossible to have associated with Tom Wolfe without being inspired. His life was an open book, and if it were impossible to say any man lived without making enemies, that man was Tom Wolfe. His nature was such that enmity and harboring grievances could not find lodgement in a heart that was attuned to the joys and sorrows of humanity, a heart that would have willingly made any sacrifice that a friend might have demanded. There was about Tom Wolfe a magnetism that impelled friendship. He was big-hearted, but he was something better-he was a man, a man in all the word implies. In his home life, in his business relationships, in his association with his fellowmen as a member of the fraternal orders, his honesty of purpose was never questioned. Men might have differed with Tom Wolfe, but all gave him credit- and justly so- for being sincere. Tom Wolfe was the embodiment of the most rugged honesty and sterling integrity, he was incapable of wrongdoing any one, since right and justice predominated, in his make-up. Can't and hypocrisy were the two things that he despised most. [the next sentence was unreadable] In his heart there was- and it expanded constantly- a great love for his fellowman. His love for little children was always in evidence, illuminating and making more perfect his other noble qualities. Of the full extent of his benevolences probably no one in Waco was aware, for what Tom Wolfe did in behalf of suffering humanity, to aid some unfortunate, was kept to himself. He found the greatest satisfaction in bringing happiness to those bereft of joy and gladness in such a way that frequently they did not know their benefactor. He never sought praise for any of his numerous good works, and thee were legion. His pathway through life was characterized by modesty and simplicity, pomp and display being to him merely the veneer that never penetrates beyond the surface of things. An Englishmen by birth, no one more loyal to the country of his adoption could have been found than Tom Wolfe. Not only was this demonstrated when he was among the first to shoulder arms in her defense in 1898-and he would have done the same in 1917, had he been permitted to do so, but in every patriotic endeavor that was projected during the most recent great world war. When soldiers were quartered at Camp McArthur, Tom Wolfe regarded each as his personal friend. His home was never closed to his friends, and this was especially true in the courtesies he extended the"brown army of democracy." He was a staunch, an undeviating believer in the American ideal of freedom to the country in which he lived could not have been excelled. Tom Wolfe was always a builder, in his personal affairs and in the advancement and programs of the city he called home for nearly three decades. He realized his duty as a citizen, and in every effort that was made to make Waco the city that it is today. Tom Wolfe took a leading a most active part. Probably no man in the length and breadth of this broad land loved flowers and realized their influence as did Tom Wolfe. To him, flowers epitomized sentiments of love, and friendship, and in their growth, culture and production he took an interest, something that could not have been inspired merely by hope of financial reward, but because of a vision that saw far beyond the realms of things earthly. Much of the beauty of Waco Parks is due to the care, attention and wise counsel of Tom Wolfe. He was most familiar with the kinds of flowers that would thrive best therein, and when a condition had been reached, in the scheme of improvement that made it impossible for any great outlay of money to be spent in flowers, it was then that Tom Wolfe came forward with his generous gifts, not that his name might be blazoned to the public, but that the parks; the city's breathing spots, might be made more attractive, more alluring, to those who welcomed them as a wee bit of heaven on earth. Mr. Wolfe is survived by his wife and two sons, Tom Jr. and George Wolfe; two sisters and one brother, Mesdames Annie Wolf Brigance, E.C Robinson and Fred C. Wolfe, all of Waco, and all were present when dissolution came. To these is extended the sincere, the heartfelt sympathy of thousands of sorrowing friends in Texas and in other states, in the loss of a noble husband, a model father, a devoted and affectionate brother.

WACO DAILY TIMES HERALD JULY 7, 1919 MONDAY DR. JOSEPH KEMP DIES SUDDENLY The entire city was shocked late Wednesday evening when it became known that Dr. Joseph Kemp had died suddenly at his home in North Walnut. The facts as we have them are that the doctor was trimming a walnut tree in his garden and in an effort to throw a large limb over the fence it is supposed the exertion proved to great and resulted fatally. He was found within a few minutes after he fell, but life was extinct. We have not the time this week to more than mention this sad occurrence but hope next week to be able to give our readers a story of the life of this good man.

Little Virginia had never recovered from an attack of influenza which first made its appearance about Christmas of last year. Her death resulted from the after effects of this disease. The death of this little girl brings sincere sadness to her many little playmates and to the host of friends of the family. Virginia was a most lovable child, a favorite with her companions and schoolmates, and a most apt child in her studies. Besides her parents, she is survived by three sisters and two brothers, Mrs. A. W. Slaten, Williams Bay, Wis., Mrs. Francis Shelton, Denton, Miss., Zoe Fitzhugh, Waco; T. Champ Fitzhugh, Waco, and Edward Fitzhugh, the latter being in the A.E.F. overseas. These have the tender sympathy of many. DEATH COMES TO MRS. ZOE AUBREY MONDAY EVENING. Mrs. Zoe Rodman Aubrey, aged 55 years, wife of Hon. Llewllyn Aubrey, died Monday night at 9:45 o'clock at Providence sanitarium after an illness there of ten days. Mrs. Aubrey was prominent in civic improvement and social welfare circles and was identified with Waco clubs. Although she has been in ill health for more than a year her death comes as sorrowful tidings to her many friends. Mrs. Aubrey was Mrs. Zoe Rodman of Milan, Ohio, prior to her marriage in 1902 to Mr. Aubrey. She was born October 5, 1863 at Brooklyn, New York. After her marriage, she came to Waco with her husband, where they have been living at 516 South Third street. As past president of the City Federation of Missions, the Woman's club of St. Paul's Guild, Mrs. Aubrey has a permanent record in the church and civic life of Waco. She was a member of the Episcopal church and practiced her religion in many ways, including Travelers' Aid and Welfare work.

PETERSON PASSED AWAY 3:05 TUESDAY MORNING Mrs. Nah Dudley Peterson, aged 30, died Tuesday morning at 3:05 in a local sanitarium.

Last week a change for the better resulted, but on last Sunday a relapse came, this being so serious that all efforts to prolong her life were in vain.

Peterson, cashier of the Central Texas Exchange National Bank and president of the Young Men's business League and the Lions Club of Waco. She was born and reared in Hillsboro and was married about nine years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Peterson have been residents of Waco for the last eight years. The death of Mrs. Peterson brings the most profound sorrow to a multitude of friends here, in Hillsboro and other Texas cities. She exerted a benign, a far-seeing influence on all with whom she came in contact . Her life was full to overflowing with graciousness and kindliness, and the goal of her efforts seemed to be to make for her dear ones what her home was, the happiest place on earth to them. In bringing joy and gladness to others she found keenest pleasure, and her presence brought sunshine and cheer to any gathering in which she participated. As a member of the First Presbyterian church, she was a most exemplary Christian, one who practiced in her everyday life the precepts and teachings of the Master, and one to whom religion brought solace and consolation in unlimited measure as the hour of dissolution approached. Mrs. Peterson bore her sufferings with the greatest, the most remarkable fortitude. She encouraged her loved ones to the very last with her patience and resignation, and her spirit departed this life with a firm and unwavering and an unfaltering trust in the beauties and glories of the world beyond. Besides the bereaved husband and two small children, a son and a daughter, Elizabeth and Dudley Peterson, one sister and a brother survive, Miss Harry Dudley and H.W. Dudley, both of Hillsboro, and who were present when the end came. To all of these who have been deprived of the love and affection of a wife, mother and sister, who typified the highest and most exalted of womanhood, there is tendered the sincere condolence of a host of sorrowing friends. The death of Mrs. Peterson will cause a postponement in the general meeting of the Young Men's Business League, which was to have been held Tuesday night at Cameron park. Announcement of this was made Tuesday morning by Secretary W.T. Wheeler of Y.M. B.L. Tomorrow morning and until after the funeral of Mrs. Peterson, the Central Texas Exchange National bank will be closed, according to a statement made this morning by officials of the bank.

WACO DAILY TIMES HERALD JULY 12, 1919 SATURDAY HENRY A. BRIDGES BELOVED WACOAN, DIED EARLY TODAY Henry A. Bridges, aged 45, one of the best known pharmacists in Texas, died this morning at 7:25 in a local sanitarium. Funeral arrangements have not yet been completed, pending the arrival of relatives. The hour will be announced later. Mr. Bridges was a stockholder in the W.B. Morrison Drug company, proprietors of the Old Corner Drug store, and assistant manager for that firm. The condition of his health had been such that he was unable to work for the last month. He went to the sanitarium a week ago last Sunday, and the following day he underwent a surgical procedure of most serious nature. For the first few days his condition was very grave, then a change for the better became apparent, leading to the belief that he had a chance for recovery. This was offset yesterday, when he began to decline rapidly, with dissolution coming today at the hour above named. Mr. Bridges had been a resident of Waco for the past 21 years. He was born in North Carolina but came to Texas with his parents when a very small child, the family locating at Taylor, from which city Mr. Bridges came to Waco. He had been connected with the Old Corner Drug Store ever since he came here. A graduate of the St. Louis College of Pharmacy, Mr. Bridges was recognized as a man without a peer in his profession in this state. He was wonderfully proficient, a man who took pride in his work, one who never considered any effort too great in order that absolute accuracy and perfection might be attained. His ability met with ready recognition from the president of W.B. Morrison Drug Company. Dr. W.B. Morrison, who continued to advance him until he was made assistant manager of this big firm. In this connection Mr. Bridges came in contact daily with many Wacoans and on all he made a lasting impress for good. Not only was he the embodiment of courtesy and affability at all times, but his executive ability was so pronounced and of such unquestioned worth that his value to the firm with which he was connected was apparent to the most casual observer. By reason of this, in additional to the close personal friendship that existed between them for more than two decades, the death of Mr. Bridges, next to that of the family and immediate relatives is felt more keenly by Dr. Morrison than by any one else. In his relation with his fellow man, Henry Bridges was the soul of honor. His word was accepted unhesitatingly by all and his promise once given, was never broken. People relied on him implicitly, because in him they had unbounded confidence. Henry Bridges was a man of quiet demeanor, one who utilized his talents to the fullest extreme for the benefit of humanity, but his every act in behalf of others was characterized by the mans innate modesty. He was generous to a fault, but his benefactions were marked by neither ostentation nor display, but to bring joy, gladness, and hope to some life that had been burdened with sorrow and affliction. Mr. Bridges is survived by his wife, his mother, Mrs. M.E. Bridges of Taylor; three brothers and three sisters, M.L. Bridges, Taylor; C.U. Bridges, Clayton, N.M.; C.L. Bridges, Wichita Falls; Mesdames Naomi Chrismer, Troup, Texas; Olivia Davis, Dallas and D.M. Ware, Taylor. To all of these is extended the sincere condolence of a legion of sorrowing friends. WACO DAILY TIMES HERALD JULY 13, 1919 SUNDAY DR. WILSON, WHO DIED RECENTLY, GREAT UNCLE OF MRS.

There was a lamentable vacancy made in the "thin gray line", when the spirit of Dr. A.J. Wilson passed from earth to join the "choir invisible" in the kingdom of God. He was a prince among his fellows, he was gifted with talents of a high order, he was possessed with the rare charm of conversation and though bearing the weight of 87 winters, he continued to walk with an elastic step and an erect carriage until death claimed him. Dr. Wilson was born in Danville, Va., September 15, 1832. He died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E.L. Carney. In his young life, he was one of the most prominent physicians of Kentucky, residing then in Treaton, Ky.
