JOE HODANEK
Shiner Gazette, 12 Feb 1902, page 1
DEPLORABLE KILLING.
Frank Hrvoda Shoots Joe Hodanek at Former’s Home.
Flatonia Record.
[Tuesday or Thursday] night about 7 o’clock Frank Hrvoda, a Bohemian farmer living on the Valenta place 2 miles southeast of town, came in and gave himself up to officers and reported that he had killed Joe Hodanek, said killing occurring between 5 and 6 o’clock at Hrvoda’s home. Squire R. S. Menefee went immediately to the scene of the killing where he reports he found Joe Hodanek in the arms of death from the effects of a gun-shot wound in the right side of the face, just under the eye. The gun used by Hrvoda was a 12 gauge breech-loading shotgun and only one shot was fired.
A six-shooter was found lying in the ground by the side of Hodanek’s body. Two empty shells, two shells snapped but failed to discharge and two good cartridges remained.
The only eye-witnesses to the killing, except the participants, was the wife of Hrvoda. She corroborates the statement made by her husband that Hodanek was trying to enter their home, pistol in hand and threatening to kill Hrvoda who then killed him.
The affair is deeply deplored. Mr. Hodanek has for years been a resident of Fayette, at one time conducting a meat market here. He had many friends and was well connected.
Hrvoda is under arrest; his examining trial occurs today.

Mrs. Lee Hoffmann Claimed By Death
Mrs. Lee Hoffmann, a highly respected lady of the Clear Creek section, southwest of Weimar, died Saturday, Oct. 29rh, a fact that we did not learn of in time to give particulars in our last issue. From the Schulenburg Sticker we glean the following particulars of this very sad occurrence:
"Mrs. Lee Hoffmann, one of the good mothers of the Clear Creek section, made the greatest of all sacrifices, leaving behind her the tiny infant who will never know the tender care of a loving mother.
"Mrs. Hoffmann was truly a christian mother, a splendid neighbor, and we know her soul is now resting in that heavenly home where no sorrow, no suffering and no sacrifices are known.
"Mrs. Hoffmann leaves to mourn her passing her grief-stricken husband, three sons and one daughter, her aged mother, Mrs. Manthil of the Muldoon section, besides a host of relatives and friends.
"It is indeed sad that this young mother, who was only 37 years of age, had to be taken from her husband and children, but this is only an example of the great truth, 'In the midst of life we are in death'.
"The remains were laid to rest in the City Cemetery at Schulenburg on Monday morning, with Rev. Paul Piepenbrok performing the last sad rites. Peace to her ashes!"
To Mr. Hoffmann, his children and others of the bereaved family, the hearfelt sympathy of the Mercury and many other friends of the Weimar section goes out to them in their deep and irreparable loss. May a Merciful Father comfort them as He alone can!

Schulenburg Sticker, 25 Sep 1902
We regret to chronicle the deplorable accident, which resulted in the death of the little babe of Mr. and Mrs. Hollas, who live a few miles north of the city. Previous to her leaving the house, Mrs. Hollas prepared a “sugar teat” for the little one to pacify it during her absence, which was only of short duration and upon her return the babe was dead, it having sucked the entire mass down its throat, strangulation being the result.

SAD ACCIDENT AT WEST END.
Henry Holman, aged 17 years, one of the students at the Peacock school, accidentally shot himself and died instantly Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock while hunting. There was but one witness to the occurrence, Denzil Burman, a 16-year-old boy, also a student at the Peacock school.
The two boys, having borrowed a 22-caliber rifle, started out for a few hours hunt and after shooting at birds for a short while, and, according to the statement of Burman, Holman raised the barrel of the gun to his forehead, remarking:
“If this gun were to go off, it would put me out of business.”
At that instant the gun was discharged and the bullet penetrated through the boy’s forehead and lodged into his brain. He fell and died instantly.
Henry Holman lived at Weimar and has been at the Peacock school for two years. He was an orphan boy, but was a ward of Capt. T. A. Hill, a banker of Weimar.
Friends of the boy at Weimar were notified and the remains were shipped to that place Monday, accompanied by Professor Peacock and Captain Conn.

LaGrange, Tex., May 7—Ex-Marshal John T. Rankin shot and killed Mr. F. S. Homuth at 6 o’clock this morning. Ever since the attempted assassination of Rankin he has been sleeping at the Lester hotel. It seems that early this morning he left the hotel and went to Ory’s shoe shop on the west side of the square and Homuth was in the habit of passing this shoe shop in going to his meals every day. There has been an old feud between the parties growing out of Rankin’s candidacy for the office of county clerk.
When Mr. Homuth approached the Ory house Rankin fired the contents of one barrel of his shotgun loaded with buckshot at him. The bullets entered his right side, ranged forward and through his body and lacerated and penetrated the heart. Homuth staggered and turned, when Rankin fired the second barrel but missed his mark. Homuth died almost instantly. Rankin went up to the house of one of our most prominent citizens and asked him to go for the sheriff, as he desired to surrender.
Both parties were born and raised in this county and bad blood has been between them for some time. E. L. Ory and Rankin’s negro driver, were arrested as accessories before the fact. District court will convene next Monday, when the case will receive the attention of the grand jury. A writ of habeas corpus has been sued out for E. L. Ory. The affair is regretted very much by the citizens as there has not been any killing or shooting in LaGrange since the war.

Percy Homuth Dies Thursday, April 9—Interred Friday
Percy F. Homuth, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis F. Homuth, now deceased, died at the La Grange Hospital, Thursday morning, April 9, at 9:00 o’clock. He had been ill for several days, at Smithville, hi home, and was brought to the hospital ten days since. His body was taken to Smithville and on Friday afternoon, Rev. Aiken officiating, was interred in the city cemetery of that city.
Percy Homuth was born in La Grange, May 17, 1891, one month after the death of his father. Reared here, industrious and willing he had many friends; when the Unites States entered into the World War, Percy was among the first to enlist, served overseas, was gassed and wounded, and returned, although he never entirely recovered from the effects of that service. Upon his return he located in La Grange.
He was united in marriage with Miss Minna McDavid of Bastrop who, with two daughters, Lillian Jewell, aged 12 and Agnes Pearl, aged 9, survive. There is one sister, Mrs. Yates (Agnes) Bowers, (who reared Percy) and three brothers, Albert and August Homuth of Smithville, and Robert of Columbus.
Prosperity and plenty were strangers to this son of an early citizen, but he ever provided, a man of grim determination who never shirked his duty. He refused to yield to the illness call, and sought to continue in service of the Texas Public Service Company, but finally was brought to La Grange, and Thursday, at the age of 44 years, 11 months and 22 days, passed to his reward.
Friends and family join in the Journal in extending sincere sympathy.

The house was partially destroyed. It seems that there were no one present at the time to render them assistance.

Chas. Horak Meets Death When Struck By An Automobile
Saturday night, 10:30 o’clock, Chas. Horak of near Ellinger was struck by an automobile, on the Ellinger-La Grange highway, and instantly killed. The automobile was driven by Jos. S. Ebner of Houston, who was en route to Bastrop.
Shortly after the accident, neighborhood farmers came upon the scene, and the sheriff’s department was notified. Deputies Koenig and Stanzel and “Squire Marburger repaired to the scene and found Mr. Ebner awaiting their arrival, and several farmers standing near the body.
Conducting an immediate investigation the officers, and the ‘Squire obtained facts that permitted Mr. Ebner to be released and to continue his journey. Obtaining his address the officers told Mr. Ebner that he was subject to call. Reichert & Kneip were notified and brought the body to La Grange.
In the statement obtained by ‘Squire Marburger the information is that Mr. Ebner was driving his automobile at a speed of 40 miles per hour, and driving in the center of the highway. He saw Mr. Horak and entertained no idea of striking the pedestrian.
When within a few yards of the man, he suddenly turned to cross the highway. Mr. Ebner says he was unable to prevent the accident. The victim’s legs were broken and his body crushed. Death, it is believed, was instantaneous.

MRS. HUGO HORNER, SR.
In the death of Mrs. Hugo Horner, Sr., which occurred at the home of her sisters, Mesdames A. and L. Roos in San Antonio, on Thursday, September 25, Schulenburg lost one of its most beloved women.
Feeble in health, a sufferer who for years was seldom without pain, Mrs. Horner won the love of all about her through the fortitude with which she bore her affliction. Her interest in her home, her friends, her neighbors, never waned, and the sweetness of her spirit was evidenced by the gentleness of her manner toward all with whom she came in contact.
A mute tribute to the love and respect in which she was held by those who knew her best was the large gathering of friends who braved the most inclement of weather to do her memory honor when the remains were brought to the old home.
Mrs. Horner was born in Blanco County on April 23rd, fifty-seven years ago. At a tender age she moved to Schulenburg with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. Wolters, Sr., who were amongst the very early settlers of Texas and who remained honored and esteemed citizens of our town until death claimed them a few years ago. Here Mrs. Horner was reared, here she was in 1878 married to Mr. Hugo Horner, here she reared her family and here she made her home until a few short weeks ago when she went to San Antonio in the hope of improving her fast failing health.
There remain to mourn her loss, the husband, two sons, Ed. of Sugarland, Hugo of Schulenburg, one daughter, Mrs. Stephen Brown of Brownsville, one brother, Mr. Ed Wolters of Shiner, four sisters, Mesdames A. and L. Roos of San Antonio, E. B. Kessler and I. E. Clark of Schulenburg and many other relatives.
The remains were laid to rest in the family burial ground on Friday afternoon, Sept. 26, with the Woodmen Circle conducting services and Mr. Piepenbrok of the Lutheran church officiating. Contributed.

NOT DEAD BUT GONE BEFORE.
There is no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore: And bright in heaven’s Jewelled crown
They shine forevermore.
At his home on Sunday evening at four o’clock, Sept. 9th. Mr. August Horstmann laid down the burden of ill health which he had borne with such patience and courage for so long and went to meet the reward of the good and just which will surely he his in that “Home not made by hands” in that Home where there is neither sickness nor suffering, and “where in all that bright forever sorrow ne’er shall touch the soul.”
He leaves a wife and seven children to mourn the loss of a husband’s and father’s love and care. Mr. Horstmann was born at the old Horstmann homestead near High Hill, in Fayette Co. There also he spent the most of his boyhood’s years. He came to Cameron when quite a young man in 1884 and went into the mercantile business here with Mr. Russek, the firm name being Russek & Horstmann. Mr. Horstmann had in a large measure all of those sterling qualities which always commend the respect and the confidence of the people and while he built up for himself a good business, he was building also as an imperishable inheritance for his loved ones a reputation for honesty and integrity of purpose, deed and thought. He was always ready to respond to the cry of distress, and several lives have been made brighter and their burdens lighter through his generosity and kindness. We are told of the three virtues faith, hope and charity, that the greatest of these is charity and of this greatest virtue he had a most blessed abundance.
Always, he tempered his justice with charity. He never failed to give every one who came within the pale of his judgement, the benefit of every doubt. He had many noble christian [sic] virtues and in his daily life he constantly upheld by deed and word the commandment, which says, “Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you”. We are tought [sic] in God’s word in the Bible “the Lord loveth a cheerful giver”, and since his charity was ever as broad as his knowledge of another’s need surely now he has but gone to receive his reward and resteth now and forevermore in the Father’s love. His last thought his last words were an expression of that thoughtful love and care for his family for his wife and his little ones, that has ever been one of the most beautiful traits in a character that was altogether good and noble. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Oxley assisted by the “Sons of Hermann”, an association of which Mr, Horstmann had been a member for many years. A FRIEND.

NEGRO FARMER IS KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
During the prevalence of a series of thunder showers in this section last Friday afternoon, Bennie Hubbard, 40-year-old negro farmer of the Holman section, and his two sons fled from the heavy downpour of rain and took refuge under a tree. They had been working in the field. They had hardly got settled under the tree when lightning struck, killing the father instantly and stunning both of the boys, one of them so seriously that it was doubted for a while whether he would live. We understand Bennie and one of his sons were badly burned by the lightning. This happened a few miles north of Weimar.

Obzor Hospodárský, Thursday, March 18, 1909
Ellinger, 8. března. - Jan Hubenák po dlouho trvající nemoci ode,bral se tam, odkud není více návratu. Skonal tiše v pátek večer 5. března a byl v sobotu dne 6 t.m. pochován na kat. hřbitově na Liveockhillu. Pohřební obřady vykonal vdp. Jos. Chromčik z Fayetteville. Účastenství při pohřbu bylo ohromné, což dokazuje jaké vážnosti se zesnulý těšil.
Jakmile se roznesla zpráva, že výše jmenovaný br. zemřel, každý spěchal, aby zesnulému poslední poctu projevil a k poslednímu odpočinku jej doprovodil. V sobotu 6. t.m. odpoledne z blízka i z dáli sjížděly se povozy k domu smutku, kdež vykonal obřady br. Peter Hubenák. Pak ubíral se průvod s pohřebním vozem směrem k Ellinger. Prúvodu súčastnily se oba slovanské místní řády, totiž řád Čechomoravan Č.S.P.S., a náš řád Věrnost, čís. 51. S.P.J.S.T. s odznaky a prapory. Pak hnul se prúvod ku spolkové budově řádu Čechomoravan, odkud po vykonání řádových obřadů, nastoupil průvod cestu ku kat. kostelu na Liveokhill.
V kostele nad rakvi zesnulého pronesl dojemnou řeč vdp. Josef Chromčík. Vylíčil život i přičinu smrti zesnulého, a zdělil shromážděným, že on oddal zesnulého s jeho manželkou roku 1880. Řeč jeho byla vskutku dojemná, za což zasluhuje všechnu čest, jak od katolíků tak i nekatolíků. Většina kat. duchovenstva zatracuje řády, které nejsou náboženské (katolické) obzvláště spolek Č.S.P.S. Ale tento výše jmenovaný, lidumilný kat. duchovní správce nejen že na žádný podpůrný spolek nenarážel ale ač dobře věděl, že zesnulý ku spolku Č.S.P.S. náležel, jej, totiž našeho spolubratra, jmenem "náš spolubratr Jan Hubenák" pří své řeči oslovil.
Řeč jeho učinila hluboký dojem na posluchače, takže které oko zůstalo suché, ba i hlasitý vzlykot bylo často mezi posluchači slyšeti. Po oné řeči p. Karel Čmajdalka se slečnou dcerou zapěl při zvucích varhan krásnou pohřební písen a pak zahrál ku postě zesnu lého pohřební pochod na varhany. Z kostela ubíral se průvod na místo posledního odpočinku, kdež tělesné pozůstatky zesnulého spolubratra odevzdány byly do lůna matričky země. Duch jeho však dosud žije a žíti bude v myslích i srdcích jeho milých pozůstalých, jak pokrevných příbuzných tak i nás, spolubratrů, sousedu a známých.
Náš zesnulý spolubratr byl muž v každém ohledu řádný, jak v rodině své co manžel a otec, tak co dobrý a řádný občan a člen řádů k nimž přináležel. Nemýlímli se, byl zakládajícím členem řádu Čechomoravan Č.S.P.S. a řádu Věrnost S.P.J.S.T. Každý kdo jej znal, cítí hluboký zármutek nad jeho předčasnou smrtí.
Zesnulý byl asi 46 roků stár a zanechává truchlící manželku a 7 dítek; 3 synové a 4 dcery z nichž 4 jsou již zaopatření. Truchlícím pozůstalým projevuji svou upřímnou soustrast a zesnulému budiž země lehká a čest nehynoucí budiž jeho památce !
Ellinger, 8. March. -Jan Hubenák after a long illness, he went where there is no more return. He died quietly on Friday night 5. March and was on Saturday 6 June and was buried in the Catholic cemetery at Live Oak Hill. Funeral rites performed Rev. Jos. Chromčik from Fayetteville. Attendance at the funeral was immense, which shows the kind of respect the deceased enjoyed.
As soon as the news spread that the above-named Br. died, everyone rushed to pay a last homage to the deceased and accompanied him to his final rest. Saturday 6. this month in the afternoon from near and far carriages arrived to the House of mourning, where Br. Peter Hubenák conducted the rites. Then followed the procession with a hearse toward Ellinger. The funeral procession included both Slavic local orders, the order of the Čechomoravan Č.S.P.S., and our order of fidelity, no. 51. S.P.J.S.T. with badges and banners. Then the funeral procession moved to the Čechomoravan building, where after execution of the order's rites, all joined the procession to the Church on the Live Oak Hill.
In the church Rev. Josef Chromčík gave a moving speech over the coffin of the deceased. He portrayed the life and cause of death of the deceased, and told those gathered that he dedicated the deceased to his wife in 1880. The speech was really touching, for which he deserves all the honor from both Catholics and non-Catholics. Most Catholic clergy condemn orders that are not religious (Catholic) especially Association ČSPS. But the above-named, philanthropic Catholic spiritual leader not only mentioned ČSPS the deceased belonged to, but also named our Society during his speech.
His speech made a profound impression on the listener, so that no eye remained dry, and even loud sobs was often heard among the listeners. . After the speech, Karel Čmajdalka played the organ, and he and his young daughter sang a beautiful funeral song. At the end of the services, he then played the funeral march. The procession walked from the Church to the place of the last rest, where the mortal remains of the deceased lodge brother were buried of into the bosom of the mother earth. However, his spirit still lives, and will live in the minds and hearts of his beloved survivors, his blood relatives as well as us lodge brothers, and neighbors and acquaintances.
Our late confrere was a man in every respect, fair, both in his family as husband and father, and a good and proper citizen and member of the order to which was a member. If I am not mistaken, he was a founding member of the Chapter Čechomoravan ČSPS and Chapter Věrnost of the S.P.J.S.T. Society. Everyone who knew him, felt deep sorrow at his untimely death.
The deceased was about 46 years old and leaves behind a grieving wife and 7 children; 3 sons and 4 daughters, of which 4 are already adults and on their own. Grieving survivors, I am showing you my sincere condolences and may his country be light and honor to his memory be eternal !

HUDSON
The Galveston Daily News, August 8, 1867
MORE KILLING.—The Columbus (Colorado co.) Times of the 3d records the killing of Mr. L. G. [sic.] De Graffenried and a young man named Hudson in the edge of the county of Fayette, on the previous Wednesday. The parties had a difficulty about De Graffenreid's hogs getting into a field which the two young Messrs. Hudson had rented from him. On Wednesday Mr. G. heard of the boys setting the dogs on the hogs—one account says shooting them—and rode into the field where they were . He remonstrated, and finally attempted to correct the younger Hudson—shoving the boy with his gun, he being still on horseback. The elder Hudson told aim [sic.] if he did not desist he would kill him; but Mr. De G. did not appear to notice him, and puushed the boy again with his gun, whereupon the elder Hudson drewa pistol and shot Mr. De Graffenreid through the heart. As the latter was falling he levelled his gun on the elder Hudson and inflicted a mortal wound, of which he soon died—De Graffenreid falling off his horse and expiring almost instantly. The Times says:
Of young Hudson we have no knowledge, but learn that he was an industrious, peaceable young man. Mr. De Graffenreid was a gentleman of character and good standing. The difficulty must have been the result of sudden passion.
Thomas E. DeGraffenreid, buried in the Clear Creek Cemetery in Colorado County, was paying property taxes in Fayette County
in the 1860s and no record has been found of an L. G. DeGraffenreid. Hudson's first name and burial place are unknown.

Andrew Huebner, Pioneer Cattleman Matagorda County, Dies At Age 94
First Came To County In 1886 To Raise Cattle
Mr. Andrew Huebner, pioneer cattleman of Matagorda County, died Thursday evening at 8 o’clock, following an illness of long duration. He was 94 years of age and until recently was still “riding the range” with the younger cowboys on his spread.
It was in 1886, sixty two years ago, when Mr. Huebner was then a man of 32 with many tales of the Civil War still vividly in his mind, that he came to Matagorda County from Fayette County where he was born near La Grange. He began then to buy land in the county. In 1909 he moved his family here where they have lived since.
Like many members of his family, he was extremely healthy with a constitution which allowed him to perform duties which would have felled many men younger. He thrived on outdoor life and hard work, enjoying his roundups with the enthusiasm of a tender foot.
At 94 one would have considered him at a ripe old age, but he was four years a junior to his sister, Mrs. Lillie Richers who is now 98. And besides Mrs. Richers there is a younger brother surviving, Mr. Franz Huebner who is now 90. Both reside in Bay City. Another brother, Louis, preceded him in death. He too, had reached near the ninety mark at the time of his death.
Mr. Huebner is also survived by two daughters, Mrs. Ada Hurst of Bay City and Mrs. Lola H. Brown of Ft. Worth; one son, M. D. Huebner of Bay City and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Taylor Bros., are in charge of the arrangements but announcement of the funeral is withheld awaiting arrival of relatives.

Death Claims Aged Native Born Citizen of Fayette, Monday
Although in failing health for the past ten days, yet ever in a cheerful mood, even until Sunday night, and entertaining visitors in his usual friendly manner, George Huebner, one of the oldest native born citizens of Fayette county, died at his farm home shortly after the midnight hour of Sunday. He seemed to know, however, that the oil was fading fast, and accepted the responsibility with grim resignation.
George Huebner was an interesting character; born on what was in the early days of the county known as the Bluff, on a farm November 6, 1851, he grew to manhood on that farm. During the more than 84 years, in which he lived in Fayette county, he was very observing and knew much of its history, which he ever delighted to refer to when visited by relatives and friends.
George Huebner was a mere lad when he became a teamster in 1863, and one of which carried cotton into Mexico. To dwell on the incidents of that period would require several columns, yet the Journal refrains not from saying that his recitals of those days, when it required nerve to be a teamster and when one had to forever remain on guard against the seizure of the staple he was hauling by either the Confederates, the Federals or the Mexican governments. Yet, all turned out well, and the then young man grew in body, and in mind.
When death claimed George Huebner, it took the last member of the teamster force in this county; his fellow teamster in the days that tried men's souls, was John C. Speckels, who died last year. With him was buried Tuesday, the voice that often, very often entertained those who were seeking history and adventure stories.
After the civil war closed, and reconstruction days followed George Huebner returned to the farm and remained thereon; he was united in marriage with Miss Lizetta Warnken, early settlers of the Bluff section, and farmed on the same farm first settled by his father. To this union ------- children, the first born dying in infancy. The living children are: Louis and Miss Helen Huebner of La Grange; Mrs. Forrest (Annie) McMillan of Ballinger; Geo. L. Huebner of Lane City; Mrs. G. W. (Ella) Albrecht of La Grange and Miss Gussie Huebner, R.N., of San Antonio.
Surviving also, are one sister, Mrs. Eliza Richers of Bay City and three brothers, Andrew, Louis, and Franz Huebner, all of near Bay City. George Huebner was the first to break the family tie of children born to his parents. There are also nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild, and several nephews and nieces.
George Huebner, prevailed upon to make the race for County Commissioner of Beat No. 1, entered the race and was elected and served for one term (1899-1900) refusing to stand for re-election. In closing the reference to an honorable and life-long citizen, the Journal refrains from giving many of the interesting incidents of the eighty-two years in which he lived only a short distance from La Grange. In bidding him to rest, we have given the last respects to one who lived in the immediate vicinity of La Grange, and gave
what was at his command to the good of the county. May he sleep peacefully.

Mr. George Lee Huebner died at a local hospital following a heart attack on Sunday, December 14th. Funeral services under the direction of Broughton-Hinze Mortuary were held at the graveside in the City Cemetery Monday afternoon, December 15th, at 4 o’clock. Rev. John Elder, pastor of the Presbyterian church had charge of the religious service.
Mr. Huebner, who was a prominent farmer and rancher in this section of the state, was born in La Grange on August 13th, 1885. He was married to Miss Leta Belle Taylor and five sons were born to the union, all of whom survive him.
Mr. Huebner was one of the finest men in the County and his high standard of integrity was matched by his qualities of friendship, sympathetic charity, and feeling for the brotherhood of man. His fine sons are monuments to his life of devotion to his family. He was a member of the Presbyterian church.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Leta Taylor Huebner; sons, George Lee, Jr., of Bryan, Marcus of Arlington, Burt Lewis, William Glenn, and David Newsome, all of Lane City; six grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Gus Albrecht of La Grange, and Mrs. Forrest McMillen of Ballinger.

Miss Gussie Huebner
Miss Gussie Huebner, aged 45 years, 9 months, and 8 days, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. G. W. Albrecht in La Grange, Saturday, September 9. The body was taken to the Reichert Funeral Home where it lay in state until Sunday afternoon; it was then conveyed to the Presbyterian church on Travis street, and services were conducted by Rev. Guy B. Duff, local pastor. Interment was made in the new cemetery.
Miss Huebner was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Huebner. and was born on the farm south of La Grange. She decided, after reaching womanhood, to become a nurse; impressed with the services a trained nurse renders to a suffering patient, she entered the La Grange Training School and successfully completed her studies and later became a registered nurse. Her services as such were of the most commendable type. A few years ago she became afflicted with nerve trouble, and although receiving the best care and medical attention, her affliction refused to yield to treatment and she gradually grew weaker. It may be said, in respectful mention, that death came as a relief.
Miss Huebner is survived by her two brothers, Louis Huebner of near La Grange and Geo. Huebner of Bay City; her sisters, Mrs. G. W. Albrecht of La Grange and Mrs. Forrest McMillan of Ballinger. There are several nieces and nephews, and other relatives. To these we offer sincere sympathy.

La Grange Woman Is Fatally Injured In Automobile Accident
Miss Helen Huebner, owner and operator of the Helen-Marie Beauty Shop on Colorado street, died in the Bastrop Hospital Tuesday morning from injuries received in an automobile accident that occurred Sunday afternoon. In the automobile with Miss Huebner was Mrs. Roy Head, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hlinsky and Miss Lillian Hartmann. Pitcher Hlinsky had fulfilled a contract to pitch in a ball game at Temple.
The accident has been described to the Journal reporter in several ways, each different; it appears, however, that in driving on the highway, following a rain, the machine skidded, when near Bastrop, struck the loose shoulder of the highway and crashed down the 15-foot embankment. When help arrived it was fund that Miss Huebner's injuries were such as to warrant her being rushed to the Bastrop Hospital a mile or two distant.
Mrs. Head is, as this is being prepared for the paper, a patient at the La Grange Hospital, and is in a dazed condition. When visiting the Hospital she could not be seen by the reporter, who was informed that she was to be denied all visitors for the day. Mr. and Mrs. Hlinsky and Mrs. Hartmann received minor injuries.
While hopes were entertained that Miss Huebner's injuries were not as serious as reported, these hopes were shattered when Louis Huebner, a brother, and Miss Gussie Huebner, a sister, returned to La Grange late Monday with the statement that "it was, according to their opinion, a matter of hours." Miss Huebner died Tuesday morning. Mrs. G. W. Albrecht, also a sister, was at the bedside of the patient.
Miss Huebner was the eldest daughter of the late Geo. Huebner, who died last May. For the past eight years she conducted a beauty shop at her home in this city, and was very successful. She is survived by two brothers, Louis of La Grange and Geo. L. Huebner of Bay City; Mrs. Forrest (Annie) McMillan of Ballinger, Mrs. G. W. (Ella) Albrecht of La Grange and Miss Gussie Huebner, R.N., of La Grange.
The body was brought to La Grange, Tuesday and taken to the Koenig Funeral Home, and later to Miss Huebner's home, where funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, Rev. J. E. Roth officiating. Interment was had at the new cemetery.

Final Rites for Joseph Huebner, 92, Held Oct. 2
Funeral Rites for Joseph Huebner, 92, of Schulenburg, were held Monday, Oct. 2, at Schwenke-Baumgarten Funeral Home and St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Schulenburg.
Burial was in ther church cemetery. The Rev. Eustace Hermes officiated.
A retired farmer, Mr. Huebner was born Jan. 9, 1869, in Austria, son of Mr. and Mrs. Andreas Huebner. He came to this country in 1891 and married Miss Marie Malcher at Weimar. They settled on a farm here and later lived in the St. John community for some years before moving to Schulenburg. He was a member of St. Rose Church and the Sons of Hermann Lodge.
Survivors are three daughters, Mrs. Joe C. (Adela) Anders of Schulenburg, Mrs. R. L. (Irene) Kuester of Houston, Mrs. John D.

LIZZIE WARNKEN HUEBNER
The La Grange Journal, April 10, 1924
Mrs. Lizzie Huebner
Friday morning Mrs. Lizzie Huebner, wife of George Huebner, died at the family residence on Colorado street, following an illness that had lasted for a period of months. Mrs. Huebner, it may be said, came to her death as a relief from much suffering. Devoted to her children, her departure will leave a vacancy, such as time alone shall heal. We deeply sympathize with the husband and the sons and daughters; death comes into a home when we would strive to defeat its approach, but as the flowers bud and bloom in Spring, and the leaves fall with the first blast from the North, so inevitably we must all pay the common debt.
Mrs. Huebner, was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Warnken, early settlers of this section. For many years the family resided upon a farm several miles from La Grange, and only a few years since removed to La Grange. The separation or dissolution that has now occurred is the pang of sorrow that only those who have experienced a similar affliction can well appreciate. She enjoyed the great privilege, however, of seeing her children become grown, and to them was the comfort and solace that a dutiful child finds.
Sunday afternoon they carried her remains to the new cemetery and placed them to rest; in attendance upon the last rites were sympathizing relatives and friends from the town and country and from neighboring cities. Beneath a bed of beautiful flowers she sleeps peacefully.
The sympathy of the entire community is offered to the husband, the children, Misses Helen and Gussie, Louis and Mrs. Gus. Albrecht of La Grange, Geo. Huebner of Bay City, Mrs. Forrest McMillan, Ballinger.

Louis Huebner, 70, Expires Suddenly
Louis Huebner, 70, passed away suddenly near La Grange late Saturday of a heart attack.
Mr. Huebner had been to his farm, about seven miles south of La Grange, and was enroute to his home here when his pickup became stuck. He evidently exhausted himself trying to extricate the vehicle, and then sent a Negro for help. When the colored man returned, Mr. Huebner was slumped over in the cab. Peace Justice Lloyd Dippel held the inquest and rendered a verdict of death due to natural causes.
Mr. Huebner was born in the Bluff community on April 14, 1877, and had been a resident of this area all his life. He was never married.
Funeral was held Monday at 2:30 p.m. at the Koenig Funeral Home Chapel with Dr. Guy B. Duff officiating, and burial was in the New City Cemetery.

DEATH'S TOLL
RICHARD T. HUETTEL
Another La Grange born citizen, R. T. Huettel, crossed the Great Divide early Tuesday morning; Mr. Huettel had been in failing-health for several months but, in the manner characteristic of the man, he carried on, believing that he would conquer the approach of the reaper and enjoy good health again. He was taken to the La Grange Hospital at the week-end and given every attention possible, by surgeon and nurse, but his age and the ravage of the disease proved too great a detriment.
Evidently Mr. Huettel knew that the light was soon to fade; those gathered about his hospital cot were giyen evidence of this as he spoke of the last journey and outlined some of- the wishes he desired to be fulfilled. He seemed to accept the the [sic.] verdict with calmness and in the same manner that he bore his affliction, calmly and reserved, he drifted on Tuesday morning.
For many years Mr. Huettel was engaged in business, conducting a general merchandise store in the building now occupied by Spears' Dairy, later removing to the building now occupied by Louis Klein & Son. He retired several years ago and has since remained at his home, occasionally about the square to meet with friends, but generally assisting in the chores about the home and garden.
Interested in the public schools of the county he became a county trustee and served for 14 years as president of the County Board. He made a good official and his decisions were ever to the welfare of the school children of the rural sections. He was born in La Grange, October 31, 1864.
Mr. Huettel was united in marriage with Miss Christine Knigge in February 1897 and for a number of years the eouple farmed near Ammannsville; they came to La Grange in 1899 when Mr. Huettel engaged in business. Beside his wife, he is survived by two sons: E. R. Huettel of Smithville and Milton E. Huettel of Burnet; there is one grandchild. Three sons, one an infant, preceded him. One sister, Mrs. Florence Fietsam of Ammannsville, also survives.
Funeral services were held at the St. Paul Lutheran church Wednesday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock, Rev. R.
Heise officiating. Interment was
made in the new cemetery. Koenig

LOCAL YOUTHS DIE IN AREA CRASH
DAVID HUNGER, 19, JAMES HESS, 18, LOSE LIVES FRIDAY
Two La Grange youths, 1963 graduates of La Grange High school, were killed and another from Sinton was injured in a spectacular one-car accident on Highway 71 about three miles east of La Grange shortly after 11 p.m. Friday as they were returning from the football game at Bellville.
Dead in the mishap are David Lee Hunger, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Hunger; and James Hugh Hess, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hughie Hess, all of La Grange.
Injured was Bob McAbee, 18, of Sinton, who was spending the weekend with young Hunger. He was taken to Fayette Memorial hospital by Koenig ambulance and treated for hand and shoulder injuries, and facial bruises. He was taken to Sinton by ambulance Saturday afternoon.
Hess was a student at Blinn college, Brenham; and Hunger was attending A&I college at Kingsville. McAbee also is enrolled at A&I.
Patrolman A. F. Hall, who investigated along with sheriff's officers, reported the 1961 Corvair in which the youths were riding westward on the highway, swerved across the pavement to the left side of the shoulder and struck a liveoak tree broadside with the passenger side of the car. The impact pulled the tree out of the ground, ripped off the treetop and the car carried it part-way as it rolled over several times. The car landed on what remained of its top, and the tree trunk was hurled across the fence.
Justice of the Peace A. V. Smith held the inquest at the scene, rendering accident death verdicts. Officers said Hunger and Hess were killed instantly. Hess and McAbee were thrown out of the car, and Hunger was pinned in the front seat of the wreckage.
Officers added that Hunger, owner of the car, apparently was the driver. McAbee said he was asleep on the back seat.
The totally demolished car was brought to Brasher Motor Co. here, where it was viewed by hundreds over the weekend.
Young Hunger was born here Sept. 27, 1944 and Hess was born on Dec. 20, 1944, also in La Grange.
Funeral services for Hunger were held the Koenig Funeral Home chapel Sunday at 2 p.m. with the Rev. Paul A. Grout Jr. officiating. Burial was in the La Grange City cemetery. Surviving are his parents and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Hunger, all of La Grange, and Mrs. Rebecca Terrell of Austin.
Rites for Hess were conducted at the Koenig chapel at 4 p.m. Sunday by the Rev. Mr. Grout, and burial was in the city cemetery. He leaves his parents; brother, Gerald Martin Hess, all of La Grange; and his grandfather and step-grandmother, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Hess of Victoria.
The deaths brought the Fayette county traffic toll to 13 for the year. Sheriff's office records show that 10 of them resulted from one-car mishaps.
