Obituary Of Mrs. Mary A. Tillery
In the death of Mrs. Mary A. Tillery last week, Arlington lost one of her best loved women, a woman who by her kindness and charity and her devotion to her church won the admiration, love and respect of all who knew her.
Mrs. Tillery had spent most of her life in Arlington, moving here with her father and brothers at the age of 14, from their home in Kingston, Tenn. The trip was made in a covered wagon attended with many hardships, but to these pioneers seeking a home in a new country, they lost sight of the trials and deprivations in their vision of better things at the journeys end.
Their first stopping place was North of Arlington on the Dalton farm. Here Mrs. Tillery grew to young womanhood, making a home for her father and brothers and trying to take the place of her mother who died just before they left Tennessee. She became the wife of Patrick Dalton August 18th, 1872 and after his death was married to John L. Tillery in 1885.
She was the mother of five children and soon after Mr. Tillery s death moved to Arlington to the home on East Abram Street, where she lived continuously until the time of her death.
She was a charter member of the Arlington Baptist Church and until her health failed about five years ago, she was never absent from any of the services. She was a loyal Christian, a good mother, and a true friend, what more could be said, this describes a life of service and love and her memory will be cherished long by her children and her friends.

Mrs. Sally Elliott Dies Sun. Morning
Funeral services were conducted from the Rehobeth Baptist church about seven miles south of Arlington Monday morning at ten thirty for Mrs. Sallie Elliott, 82, who died at her home early Sunday morning. Rev. Kermit Melugin, pastor of the Arlington Baptist Church officiated. Burial was in the Rehobeth Cemetery, with the Moore Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. Pall bearers were A. B. Fitts, Tommie Spruance, Norwood Hiett, H. M. Mayfield and E. C. King.
She is survived by four sons, W. E. Elliott, San Antonio; Joe Elliott, Mineral Wells; C. C. Elliott, Arlington and E. R. Elliott, Amarillo, one brother, Tom Russell, Brinkman, Okla.
Mrs. Elliott was the widow of the late John Elliott and had been ill for the past year. She was born in Cape Girardeau County, Mo. She moved to Texas with her family when just a small girl. The family made the trip to Texas in the early days when a trip of this distance was an event in ones life. They settled at Pilot Point where Mrs. Elliott resided until her marriage to Mr. Elliott in 1875. Mr. Elliott lived then, on his farm near Rehobeth and to this place he took his bride. In 1911 the family moved to Arlington to their home on West Abram Street where they resided for 25 years and where both Mr. and Mrs. Elliott died.
Mr. Elliott and Mrs. Elliott were both pioneer settlers of Tarrant County. They worked hard raised a family and accumulated a nice sum for their old age. Mrs. Elliott was loved by all who knew her, she was unassuming, very small of stature and with a smile that went straight to the heart of all her friends. During her life on the farm, her home was the gathering place for all the young people of the community, they were sure of a welcome and a good dinner, for the crowd never got too large for Mrs. Elliott to invite them to eat.
She had no daughters of her own, but her neighbors girls were dear to her and she could never do enough for them. During her last days when she was an invalid her kindnesses of the past were paid back a thousandfold, by her constant companion, Miss Emma Thompson, who did everything for this frail little mother than an own daughter could have done. Miss Emma made Mrs. Elliott s last days happy and what more could any one have done.
Mrs. Elliott joined the Baptist Church at Rehobeth and never moved her membership. Mr. Elliott was sick some time before his death in Sept. 1930 and her duties to him prevented her attendance at the Church services. Her service was in her home with her husband and children. She leaves with her sons a heritage of love and a life time of devotion that if they will in a small way emulate, they will repay in a small manner their mothers sacrifice, and the time will seem short until they too will join father and mother in a happy reunion.

Death of J. R. Fuller
Mrs. Oliver Arnett
This community was stricken with sadness on last Friday evening at 6 o clock when the death angel entered one of the oldest homes in this community and took away the husband and father, Mr. J. R. Fuller. Mr. Fuller had been confined to his bed for several weeks. We know that he was prepared and ready to go when the Lord called him home. He had lived a Christian life practically all of his life and had been a member of the Euless Methodist church since an early age. If you entered the Methodist Church and found Mr. Fuller absent you knew something had happened. He attended every service he possibly was able to attend. He was a kind and affectionate father and husband, and everyone who knew him loved him. He was so faithful to his family and his church. He was always trying to help someone else. He was a man who will certainly be missed from the community. No one could ever take his place. We regret very much losing a man like this but we know that God had a better home for him where he will never have to suffer as he did on this old earth. It is such a consolation to know that he had lived a true Christian life and that he is at rest in peace with Jesus in whom he trusted.
Mr. Fuller was 77 years of age. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Nancy Fuller, five sons, Andrew, Edd, Warren and Homer of Euless and Larkin of Dallas, six daughters, Mrs. Abe Payton and Mrs. T. E. Whitener of Euless, Mrs. W. D. Deacon and Mrs. Earnest Millican of Grapevine, Mrs. Effort Weatherly of Panhandle and Mrs. Will Morelock of Dallas, four sisters, four brothers, twenty seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren and a host of other relatives and many, many friends.

Ross Smith of the M. E. Church, Rev. John Duckett of the Fundamentalist Baptist church and Rev. Reese, pastor of the Missionary Baptist church. Four other preachers attended the funeral.

Friday September 25 Frank McKnight, 86, Pres. First State Bank Passes Away


(picture of Frank McKnight)
Frank McKnight, 86, President of the First State Bank and a resident of the Arlington Community since 1869, died in a Fort Worth hospital Wednesday morning at 2:30 a.m., after an illness of one week. Funeral services were conducted at the home on West Main Street, Thursday afternoon at 2:00 o clock with Reverend W. T. Thurman, John H. Patterson and S. M. Bennett officiating. Pall Bearers were Tommie Spruance, Tom Cravens, Ray McKnight, C. L. Knapp, Dr. Hodges McKnight, and Web Rose. Burial was in the Arlington Cemetery, by the side of his wife who died in 1918. Luttrell Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
Mr. McKnight is survived by two sons, Alfred McKnight and Frank McKnight Jr., all of Arlington. One brother, Dr. W. B. McKnight of Mansfield.
Mr. McKnight, or Uncle Frank, as he was familiarly known to his friends in Arlington, was born in Nacagdoches in 1861. His father died when he was eleven years old and as he was the eldest son, the responsibility of the family rested upon him. Soon after the fathers death the family moved to Tarrant County and bought an 80 acre farm near Johnson Station. Lumber for the home was hauled by ox team from East Texas. In 1884 Mr. McKnight was elected County Commissioner and in 1887 opened a general store in Arlington. He later formed a partnership and the store was known as the Rogers McKnight General Merchandise.
He became interested in the banking business in 1910, when he purchased stock in Arlington State Bank. He helped organize the Citizens State Bank, predecessor of the First State Bank. He was elected president of the First State Bank at the time of its organization in 1915.
He remained active in the bank until he was stricken with his last illness. This was very unusual for a man of his age, but he thought nothing of it and shunned all reference about it. He saw the beginning of Arlington as a town and his vision of the future and untiring effort to promote the business interests of the town, laid the foundation of the Arlington of today.
To no other man so rightfully belongs the tribute of building well and of being a pioneer in the truest sense of the word, than to Uncle Frank McKnight. He had no time nor sympathy for failure, to him this was inconceivable. He had high ideals and lived up to them and expected his friends and business associates to do the same. He was a man who will be remembered, for no one can take his place.
