CHAPMAN…..Henderson
Times, Mar. 17, 1921
P. D. Chapman Dead
On Mar. 9, 1921 at his home in Henderson the soul of our good friend, and postmaster,
Perry Duncan Chapman, departed to that great & mysterious beyond from which no
traveler has ever returned. He was born in Rusk Co., Texas, on the 2nd day of July, 1854.
His mother died when he was yet an infant. His mother's sister, Mrs. Mahala Young, took
him into her family, reared, trained & educated him & it was from her that he
learned early the lesson of life. He has been often heard to say to friends that to this
good woman he was due a debt of gratitude that he could not live long enough to repay
& he left this world believing that that debt had not been paid for her kindness to
him from his infancy to the end. Dunk Chapman served as County Treasurer for many years of
Rusk Co., retiring of his own volition over the protest of many friends. Was a man of few,
firm words. Never dealt nor incouraged in dwelling in idle frivilous talk at any time
about anything. No man ever had to make inquiry about how he stood on public questions,
was always outspoken & always took the right side. Was quiet, kind and generous to a
fault. A gentleman by nature, and a man of very fine judgement. The cry of an orphan child
especially appealed to him & he would give his last dollar. It is singular how that
man with so few firm words could make & keep so close to him so many good friends on
whom he could call at any hour of his life. The reason for it is that he gave his life to
his friends in a quiet, unassuming & unselfish manner. Numerous deeds of kindness were
done by this good man that no one except the reciever knows about it. This is the reason
his friends never left him even to the end. It is believed that more men, young & old,
went to Dunk Chapman with their troubles than to any other one of our citizens. He lived a
correct, clean & upright life. True to his church, country, friends & family. Many
gathered at the Baptist Church to pay him their last respects on Mar. 10, 1921, the
services conducted by Rev. J. M. P. Morrow of Carthage. It can be truly said that one of
our best citizens is with us no more. R. T. B.

Henderson Mournes the Death of Rev. Ernest G. Cooke
Although he had not been located in Henderson for several years, the death of Rev. E. G.
Cooke, who died suddenly in Wills Point Tues. morning, came as a heavy blow to many in
Henderson, as he was one of the most popular ministers ever located here. While pastor of
the local Methodist church, he ministered to everyone, whether a member of his church or
not, and thus endeared himself to a wide circle. He was returned to Henderson some years
ago for a second time, and always referred to Henderson as "home". Born &
reared in England, he loved his adopted country intensely, and was a polished scholar
& gentleman. After services were held in Wills Point, his remains were brought to
Henderson, where services were also conducted at the local Methodist church, where he had
served as pastor. There services were conducted by Rev. Goens, the present pastor, with
some 10 or 12 other ministers present to pay their last tribute to a fallen brother.
Interment took place in the Lakewood Memorial Park. Rev. Cooke is survived by his wife.

Rusk County News

A Tribute of Respect Sandra Presley, g g granddaughter
.Mrs. Lucinda J. Crow, wife of M. M. Crow,
was born in Mary county, Tenn., in 1828. Professed religion at 16 years of age. Not
joining any church however until in 1852 when she joined the Methodist church at Bethel
where her membership remained until her death which occurred in May 1907.Mrs. Crow was a
charter member of Bethel church and as a Christian women none stood higher than she.
She was the mother of eleven children,
eight of whom survive her.
The writer first knew her in 1882 and from
that time on I have never known a woman whose whole life and more fully came up to the
standard of a noble Christian character than did hers. As a mother she was kind and as a
wife I have never seen a woman who seemed more attached to her husband than was she. To me
it is perfectly beautiful to see old people whose lives have been associated together
until they are as one.
From the standpoint of a lover of society,
Mrs. Crow would not have ranked very high though she was the very best of company, but
when it came to being a good neighbor none surpassed her. Her influence will last long
after the stone which marks her grave shows age; and the effects of the summers heat and
winters storms.
The gay things of earth charmed her but
little, if at all, but to minister to those around her and meet the responsibilities of
life as become a Christian woman, engaged uttermost time and attention.She was married to
M. M. Crow in 1848, and no woman ever made a more devoted wife than she. It is sweet to
know such people, and it is also inspiring, as well. The world is better for such a woman
to have lived in it, and to mark out the good influences of such a character would be as
impossible as to find the boundaries of the skies.
She will be missed by all. The community
will miss her kind and loving influence, and the church will miss her exemplary life while
the children will miss the love of a mother and her all soothing care in the time of
affliction, and last, but not least, the husband will miss the companionship, affection
and love of her who had been his daily companion for near 60 years.It looks like a pity
that such noble characters can’t live always, but the world has been blessed with her
godly life for nearly four score years and Heaven is entitled to her, and God took her.
Then too, after having net the responsibilities of life for so long, surely she was from a
human standpoint at least, entitle to her reward. Now bless the name of the Lord, she has
it.
Friends, neighbors, children and husband,
do not weep as those who have no hope, for she is gone to her Fathers house where she
awaits with expectant joy you coming and where she will greet you by and by. Remember her
noble life and her good advice, while she was with you, and imitate her Christian
character, and even yet God will answer her prayers in saving you out of many distresses.
She was buried at the Crow graveyard,
close to the family home where she lived for nearly 48 years.
