Friday September 8 Tribute to W. J. Pulley By Mrs. Bowen
Arlington loses a valuable citizen and a true friend in the passing of
W. J. Pulley on last Tuesday week the 29th of Aug. at 9 o'clock a.m. from a
severe cebral hemorrhage resulting from over exertion and the excessive
heat.
After mailing letters at the Fort Worth post office he worked on a
defective new tire just purchased in Dallas earlier in the day and not
feeling well he got in his car and drove a short way to his sons (Ralph's)
place of business, who noticing his father's condition hurried him to St.
Joseph hospital where everything was done for him but to no avail.
He spent a restless but obviously painless night and peacefully passed
away at 9 o'clock, surrounded by his immediate family excepting his second
son, Carl, who was in Cal., but arrived by plane that night.
Mr. Pulley's body lay in state at his home where many friends gathered
to take a last look at his perfectly natural face and place lovely flowers
around his bier. His funeral was held at the Methodist church where he
worshiped for years and the funeral ovations were delivered by the pastor,
Rev. A. W. Hall and Rev. C. B. Fielder of Greenville.
Mr. Pulley will be missed greatly for he was a man who truly lived
beside the road, aiding and cheering all who passed his way. He was a
tireless worker not only in his chosen commercial line but his home yard and
garden claimed a share of his attention and time. Then he was never too
busy or too tired to do favors and help out friends and neighbors. At heart
he was a true sportsman loving fishing and hunting and baseball and football
games.
His family life was above reproach, faultless as attested to by every
one fortunate enough to have been included into the home circle and his
place can never be filled as a devoted husband, father, brother and uncle.
Truly W. J. Pulley will be missed not only in his home and his town but
in towns all over the state in which he did business. Always kind, cheerful
and helpful he went along life's way with a song upon his lips and a lantern
in his hand. May he rest in peace.

Friday December 15 IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of Mrs. Clara Venner Griffin who passed to rest on
Dec. 4, 1939-
Mrs. Griffin had made her home in Arlington for a number of years, and
had endeared herself to many of our citizens. Here was a very quite life
though and many, without a more intimate knowledge of her, could scarcely
know what a sweet unusual character she was.
She was of English birth and possessed many of the characteristics of
her native land, which added a great deal to her interesting and pleasing
personality.
She was a very ardent lover of home, and lived for it and her dear
children and grandchildren. I was very closely associated with her at many
times, and was much attracted to her beautiful home life. Her children were
always so loyal, and her grandchildren ever a delight to her.
To lose her means a great sadness in the family circle, as her home was
the meeting place for the family gatherings, not only on holiday occasions,
but other times as well, but we all know that she had lived to a ripe age,
and was ready for her Master's call.
"There is no death, what seems to is transition,
This life of mortal breath is but a suburb of that life Elysian,
Whose portals we call death."
A Friend.
