Mrs. J.L. Spence of North Jonesboro died at her home yesterday morning, Thus the last smallpox victim is released by death instead of the health board.

Mrs. Spence had been ill for two weeks, and was thought to be doing very well. In fact it was hoped that she would be able to be up and released from quarantine within a few days, but she grew worse and died as stated.

We extend our sincere sympathy to this bereaved and stricken family.

Obituary:

Zelma Lois Crow Leslie was born in Marshall County, Oklahoma on May 16, 1927. She passed from this life on February 8, 2018 at the age of 90. She was a resident of CARE Nursing Facility, Early, Texas.

Mrs. Leslie was preceded in death by both of her parents, Claud Cecil Crow and Hester Jane Roberts Crow, her husband, Lloyd Kenneth Leslie, two sisters, Fannie May Crow and Vila Anderson. She is survived by two sons, Wendyl Keith Leslie and wife Carolyn Minson Leslie of Boerne, Texas, and Jerry Dean Leslie and wife Janet L'Roy Leslie of Brownwood, Texas. She also has five grandchildren: Keith Leslie and wife Pam Marshall Leslie of San Antonio, Texas; Dustin Leslie and wife Sarah Leslie of Boerne, Texas; and Brooke Leslie Anderson and husband, Curtis Anderson, of Sherwood, Oregon; Jeffrey Leslie and wife Tiffany Bradford Leslie of San Antonio; Jennifer Leslie Chen and husband Andy Chen of Mansfield, Texas. She has 19 great-grandchildren.

Mrs. Leslie was raised in and around Marshall County, Oklahoma. She attended school in Madill, Oklahoma and graduated high school from Russett High School. She met Lloyd in her high school years. Upon his return from World War II they would marry in 1946. Their first son, Wendyl, was born in 1947 and Jerry was born in 1948. She and Lloyd would reside in Ada, Oklahoma and raise their family there until 1962 when Lloyd would accept employment in Duncan, Oklahoma. Lloyd and Zelma would move to McAlester, Oklahoma for a few years, move to Garland, Texas to own and operate a Sonic Drive-In and then return McAlester to buy country property, build a new home and raise cattle. In time they would move to Wilson, Oklahoma to do the same there and then move to Ardmore, Oklahoma during retirement years.

But, being so far away from the rest of the family who resided in Texas, they would make other moves to be closer to the children and growing number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. First in Utopia, Texas, then to Boerne, Texas. Aging and needing more support they would move to the Brown County, Texas area in 2005.

Mrs. Leslie, in addition to being a wonderful homemaker, seamstress, and cook, also worked in several of the above-mentioned locations in the Department of Public Safety, Licensing Division. She was not only very efficient in her performance but was very people-minded and gracious. She was loved by her co-workers and appreciated and enjoyed by the public.

She was a deeply religious person. She was a bible class teacher for many years and faithful in attendance and worship. She lived her life as a Christian, serving others. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a member of the 4th and Stewart Church of Christ in Brownwood at the time of her death.

Mrs. Leslie was loved by her family. She took an interest in all the children and loved talking with them. She was famous in the family for her chicken and dumplings. Everything she cooked was from "scratch." You could always find her in the kitchen preparing everyone's favorite items in meals. Cherry pies made the Top Ten list every year.

Memorials may be sent to Cherokee Children's Home, Cherokee, Texas.

Obituary:

Ronald Lowell Crow, of Woodstock, Georgia, lost his battle with cancer on May 13, 2012, at the age of 68. Services will be held on Wednesday, May 30, at South Care Memorial Center, Marietta, Ga., and internment at Georgia National Cemetery, Canton, Ga.

He will best be remembered for his quarter-century service in the U.S. Navy, retiring as Master Chief, and his fifteen+ years of service in the Canton and Woodstock, GA, Lions Clubs. He was born in Wichita Falls, July 28, 1943. Ron graduated from Stephen F. Austin High School in Bryan, in 1962, and left to serve his nation, but never forgot his home state, frequently calling it "God's Country." He served in Vietnam, then the Panama Canal Zone, followed by the Pacific fleet in San Diego, CA, and Hawaii. Transferring to Newport, RI, in 1982, he began teaching at the Naval War College and the Senior Enlisted Academy. His last assignment before retiring was Command Master Chief on the aircraft carrier USS Independence (CV-62).
After relocating to the Atlanta area, he began a career in real estate and volunteering with the Lions Club. Although later retiring from real estate sales, he continued serving those with sight impairment until his illness prevented participation. When not serving his community and country, Ron liked to travel, especially in Europe, reading western and espionage novels, and spending time with his family.

The oldest of five, he is predeceased by his parents, Lowell H. and Imogene E. Crow.

He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Cheryl; daughter and spouse, Cristi and Daniel Kelly of Columbia, Md.; three grandsons, Benjamin, Ian, and Ryan Kelly; son and spouse, John and Kristie Crow of Tallahassee, Fla.; his sisters and their spouses, Judy and James Wright of Harper, Texas, Linda and Bill Watts of College Station, Peggy and John Fields of Frisco, Texas; his brother and spouse, Greg and Doris Crow of Bryan; and numerous nephews, nieces, and cousins.

Olin Huff, assistant minister of the Tenth and Broad Streets Church of Christ, officiated. Burial was at Crestview Memorial Park.

The youngster was a native of Wichita Falls, moving only recently to Carbon, Texas, with his mother when his father was re-called to active duty with the U.S. Navy as a radioman second class. His father was stationed with the naval armory here for several years.

Survivors besides the parents and the brother include three sisters, Judith Ann, Linda Jean and Peggy Joyce Crow, all of Carbon; and two grandparents, Marvin Brothers of Wichita Falls and Mrs. Alta Crow of De Leon.

Judith Ann Wright passed away peacefully on October 27, 2021 at the age of 75 years in Harper, Texas.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, October 30, 2021 at 2 p.m. at St. James Lutheran Church located at 23932 US-290, Harper, Texas 78631. Burial will follow in the Harper City Cemetery.

Judy was born on April 13, 1946 in Wichita Falls, Texas.

Judy is survived by her loving husband of 45 years, James Wright; her children Holli Kenton, Sheila Elliott and James Wright II; her grandchildren Jaclyn Untrecht, Kaitlyn Untrecht, Brittney Moore, Brandon Russell, Anastasia Wright, Bradshaw Wright, Randy Wright, Rosslyn Wright, Averi Wright, and Logan Wright; siblings Linda Watts and Greg Crow; and numerous great-grandchildren.

She is predeceased by her parents Imogene and Lowell Crow; son Jason Wright; grandson Cameron Untrecht; and siblings Ronald Crow, Peggy Fields, and Stephen Crow.

Judy loved to travel. Not only had she visited all 50 states, but also over 60 countries. Her favorite vacations always included cruises. Some of her memorable visits included Russia, China, Australia, and Alaska, to name a few. One of her treasured memories was meeting with the Pope. What she loved most of all was coming back home to her ranch in the hill country surrounded by flowers, wildlife, and her dog Gidgett.

In her free time, Judy loved country western dancing, dinner with friends, gardening, and intense game nights. Anywhere with the sea and sand made her the happiest. Her grandkids knew her as Mimi. They looked forward to their trips to visit her almost more than she did. She was always kept busy with annual SeaWorld, Schlitterbahn, or river trips.

Judy held many careers. When she met her husband, Judy was a laboratory technician at Texas A&M University. While married, she maintained a career as a research technician and tax preparer. She soon became field director at the March of Dimes and retired after several years. Judy moved on to become involved in the Hill Country Youth Ranch where she was a part of the thrift shop board. She also helped with various projects such as funding for the Harper community park and grants for the Heart of the Hills Heritage.
