| 1658 | Obituary: Holdup Victim Dies Of Gunshot Wounds Wilbur L. Baird, the 67-year-old liquor store owner who was shot as he attempted to prevent a holdup at his place of business at 42nd and Kermit Highway Nov. 3, died Monday about 8:30 p.m. at Medical Center Hospital. Baird was shot in the stomach by a gunman. He was operated on hours after the incident and had remained in serious condition in the intensive care unit of the hospice since. According to hospital spokesman, Baird appeared to be making some progress towards recovery, but took a drastic turn Monday. "That type of injury is hard to tell about sometimes." a nursing supervisor said. "Mr. Baird was in pretty bad condition, but he did appear to make some progress. He was never really out of danger at any time of the past week and a half, though." Twenty-eight-year-old Leonard Lee Giddens, an ex-convict who was arrested and charged with armed robbery in connection with the incident, may now face a charge of murder. Sheriff's captain George Olesh was preparing new charges Tuesday morning, but said it would be afternoon before they could be filed. "It's now a matter of dropping one of the charges against Giddens and adding a new one." Olesh said. Giddens was also charged with assault with intent to murder, as well as armed robbery. He is being held in lieu of $40,000 bond on the two charges, which were filed with Justice of the Peace Howard Williams. The armed robbery charge was filed following Giddens arrest by city detectives hours after the incident, and the assault with intent to murder charge was filed a couple of days later. The charge of assault with intent to murder will be dropped, according to Olesh. Giddens is presently in custody at Ector County jail. Funeral services for Baird will be at 3 p.m. Wednesday in Hubbard-Kelly Funeral Home, with burial in Sunset Memorial Gardens. Baird was born June 24, 1906, at Moran. He married Pauline M. Page on Sept. 6, 1942, in Odessa. He came here from Wink in 1936. Baird retired earlier this year, after 36 years as a pumper with Humble Oil Co. He served aboard a naval submarine for 3 1/2 years during World War II. He was a member of the Elks, VFW and the Odessa Chuck Wagon Gang. Survivors include his wife, of the home; two daughters, Mrs. Carole Coleman of Lubbock and Mrs. Betsy Draper of Burleson; his mother, Mrs. C.W. Baird of Cisco; two brothers, Archie Baird of Cisco and L.D. Baird of Andrews; six sisters, Elva DeArmand of Corsicana, Neola Cockrell of Corpus Christi, Odee Price of Houston, Meada Horn and Jewel Thompson of Cisco, Ruth Strickbein of Odessa and six grandchildren.

| 1677 | Obituary: Ialee Kay Turner June 22, 1930 - October 12, 2016 Ialee Kay ("Sammye") Turner passed away peacefully at age 86 on October 12, 2016. Ialee Kay McGee was born June 22, 1930 to Poley P. McGee and Lily McGee in Midland. She spent her youth in Colorado City wrangling two dear brothers, Lane and Larry McGee, and attended Colorado High School (where we understand the pep squad was outstanding...from her own accounts!). It was there that she met the love of her life, Walter L. Turner. After Walter convinced Mr. and Mrs. McGee that he was a worthy man to take care of their daughter, the elder McGees approved, and Walter and "Sammye" (a nickname she acquired in high school) were married on June 26, 1947. They soon began the adventure of their new lives together in Midland, which they called home for the rest of their lives. After a honeymoon phase of a few years, the adventure expanded with the addition of their three children: daughter Kaylynn, daughter Suzanne and son Clay. In their first years in Midland, Sammye worked in a photography studio and discovered a lifelong love of photography. Her favorite subjects to photograph were her children and grandchildren, historic Texas courthouses and Texas wildflowers from all over the state. A spring "flower tour" of much of the state they loved, was an annual ritual for Walter and Sammye during each April when the wildflowers were at their peak. The family ultimately expanded to grandchildren, great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandchild. Although most made their homes in Midland, some are spread as far afield as Austin and New Orleans. Sammye and Walter's adventure together ended after 63 years of marriage with Walter's death in 2010. Sammye continued on her path alone but surrounded by loving children and grandchildren until her death on October 12, 2016. She was loved and will be very much missed by all including her grandchildren Cody Peck, Mandy Hendrix and Chris Turner-Neal. A private burial will be held in Colorado City. In lieu of flowers. The family requests donations be made to Home Hospice of Midland. Arrangements are under the direction of Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory. Online condolences can be made at www.npwelch.com. (Published by Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home of Midland, TX) | McGee, Ialee Kay (I11300)

| 1691 | Obituary: In Memory of Wilton Chaloupka Funeral services for Wilton Chaloupka, 91, of Cooks Point, were held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, June 24, 1998, at Cooks Point Brethren Church with Rev. Norman Haisler, Sr., officiating. Burial followed in the Cooks Point Cemetery. Mr. Chaloupka died Monday, June 22, 1998 in College Station. Wilton Walter Chaloupka the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe T. Chaloupka, was born September 5, 1906. Wilton attended Liberty School (grades 1-7) and Caldwell High School. He did not graduate because it was in the best interest of his family to work the crops. He was baptized and confirmed in 1923 at New Tabor by Rev. Motycka. He served his country in the United States Army from 1925-1928. He worked the Santa Fe Railroad and Surovik Drugstore in Caldwell before moving to Cooks Point. He served on the Board of Directors of the Burleson County Soil and Water Conservation District for 25 years, 12 of those as chairman. He and Libby donated the current Soil and Water Conservation District offices in Caldwell. Their reason for giving? Simply to return to the community some of the gifts with which God had blessed them. He was a trustee of the Cooks Point school for a number of years, served on the board of SPJST Lodge No 116, also as chairman. In 1956, he took on added responsibilities as a permit man for an oil company. In the church, he served as Chairman of the Board of Elders from 1939 to 1980. At the time of his death, he was an honorary board member. He held the office of Sunday School superintendent for many years, taught Sunday School, sang in the church choir, was a staunch member of the Men's Brotherhood and with his wife, Libby, served as a BYF sponsor. Wilton married Libby Drgac at the church in Cooks Point on November 12, 1930. For almost 60 years there after, they worked and played side-by-side until God called her Home on October 26, 1990. God did not bless them with children of their own, but instead gave them the capacity to love and befriend children in the church and community. In their time together, they fulfilled many hopes and dreams and laid the foundation for their future. They never doubted that God knew best. They served as living, breathing examples of Christianity at its best. yes, they talked to the talk, but more importantly, they walked the walk. Now, God has reunited them for eternity. Before her death, Libby encouraged Wilton to remarry. He honored her request and his second wife, Joe Akers, also preceded him in death. When the Cooks Point Brethren Church was established, there was no doubt Christ was the cornerstone and the foundation. The early founding fathers were the pillars of the church. Wilton and Libby Chaloupka, along with Emil and Olga Urbanovsky and a few others took the reins and became the pillars. For years, they were in the thick of things, giving their utmost for God's highest. Then, as years took their toll, they stepped aside graciously, offering their help and guidance to the next generation. In addition to his wives, he was also preceded in death by two brothers, Edward (Shorty) and Engbert (the father of Barbara Jancik and James Chaloupka); and an infant sister. Survivors include two sisters and brothers-in-law, Robert and Tracy Wine and Bill and Annie Lee Wiese of Caldwell; three sisters-in-law, Mattie Chaloupka of Caldwell, Naomi Lerret of San Antonio, and Lottie Drgac of Caldwell; four nieces, Barbara Jancik of Caldwell, Patsy Albright of Bryan, Johnnie Ruth Homeyer of Caldwell and Georgia Ptacek of Snook; one nephew, James Chaloupka of Caldwell; two great-nieces, Kathy Jancik and Krista Chaloupka, both of Caldwell; one great-nephew, G.W. Jancik of Cooks Point; and numerous relatives of his late wife, Libby Drgac Chaloupka. (Published in The SPJST Vestnik Herald on September 16, 1998) | Chaloupka, Wilton Walter (I2028)
