J. O. CRAWLEY, NTAC EMPLOYEE FOR 20 YEARS, DIES AT HOME
The funeral of Joseph O. Crawley, 68, who was in charge of building
constructions at NTAC, was conducted at 2:30 p.m., Saturday by Rev. J. H.
Patterson and Dr. S. M. Bennett at the Presbyterian Church. Beautiful music

and Mrs. H. H. Payne at the organ.
Pallbearers were Dean E. E. Davis, G. E. Luttrell, E. M. Rogers, Gordon
Nichols, Clint Kendall, and Edward Rankin. The burial was in the Arlington
Cemetery.
Mr. Crawley, who has been employed at the college for 20 years, died
Friday morning at his home.
Joseph Oakley Crawley was born in Salem, Tenn., on November 13th, 1870,
a son of Mr. and Mrs. James Crawley. As a young man he came to Texas in
1893 and located in Arlington. His work was that of a carpenter and
building contractor.
During the second year he lived here, Miss Sarah Elizabeth Thomas came
to Arlington from Alabama to visit in the home of Aunt Sally Thomas. The
young couple met, and the following year Mr. Crawley went to Sycamore,
Alabama, and brought Miss Thomas back as his bride.
Here the young couple settled where they have since lived. To them
were born three children, Cecil Shuford, James Marion, and Mildred Stella,
all of whom were educated in the Arlington schools and with the exception of
Cecil who lives in Beaumont, make their homes with their families in
Arlington.
The first summer here, Mr. Crawley united with the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church (as it was then known) and has since maintained his
membership in the Arlington Presbyterian Church. In his line of work as a
builder he did the wood work on the present church building, and
demonstrated his skill by cutting every piece of material on the ground that
went into the construction of the dome of the Church. His friends told him
they would never fit, but they came into place perfectly.
He took an active interest in the civic affairs of the community
serving as Alderman and Fireman for many years. He laid the first brick
pavement around the well at Center and Main Streets.
Through the years he has been associated with the College here in
Arlington one way or another. He helped build the first building that
housed the College when it first started in Arlington. Then when the State
took over the school he was employed as Superintendent of Grounds and
Buildings. This office he held until his death. In this capacity he
supervised the construction of the Gymnasium, the tunnels for the central
heating plant, and many of the smaller buildings of the present college
campus.
Six months ago his health failed and he was confined to his home
throughout the summer. He returned to his work in September, but his
strength failed him again and after a month's service he was again forced to
bed.
His death ended 45 years of useful service in this community.
The large floral offering and the many friends present indicated the
high esteem with which he was held in this community, and also the sympathy
extended to his wife and family in the passing of a good man and a useful
citizen.
Mr. Crawley is survived by his wife; two sons, Cecil S. Crawley,
Beaumont, and Jim Crawley, Arlington; a daughter, Mrs. Royce Christopher,
Arlington; four grandchildren, Patsy Marie, Elizabeth Ann and Jim Crawley,
Jr., and Sara Beth Christopher; a brother, Bella Crawley, Los Angeles; one
half brother, Robert Crawley, Chattanooga, Tenn.; a sister, Mrs. Sid Wiley,
Arlington; two half sisters, Mrs. Dora Stowers, Shelbyville, Tenn., and Mrs.
Ella Bate, Fayetteville, Tenn.

Friday December 9 In Memory Of Dorris Hendricks
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Hendrick and
sons, Joe Edward and Ruel in the loss of their son and brother, Dorris, who
was killed Nov. 22, 1938, when his bike which he was riding to school was
struck by a car driven by Mr. Wilson of Mansfield.
Dorris was born Jan. 16, 1927 at Sublett. He had spent his life there.
He was a student of the Sublett grade school. To know him was to love him.
Dorris was a willing little helper to his parents. As there were no
sisters, he took special interest in his mother's work. And he was a real
pal to his daddy.
He was overwhelmed with joy when he undertook some task and came out
victorious, and someone would say, "good work."
Now God has said "Thou well done the faithful little servant, enter
Thou into the Kingdom of rest."
Dorris was a lover of flowers. He took great pain in his flower garden
and thought the Hollyhock among the most beautiful of flowers. He often
spoke of his hollyhock in his childish, boasting way.
His little grave was a flower covered mound.
May the departure of this little one not shake our faith, but draw us
even closer to the God who gave us life.
Besides his parents and brothers, Dorris left a host of friends and
loved ones to mourn his going.
The following poem was composed and written to the memory of this
friend:
