Pioneer Dies
Near Celina
Death removed another pioneet
from the Celina community ut 12:110
Friday afternoon, when Mrs. J. A.
McWhirttr wa called to her reward.
Though 85 years old, Mrs. McWhirter
bad been in fairly good health until
she suffered a heart attack two
weeks prior to her death at her home
five miles northeast of Celina. She
was lovingly called by her wide circle
of friends, "Grandma" McWhirter.
Funeral services were conducted at
the First Methodist Church at 2 p. m.
Sunday afternoon by Revs. O. M.
Turner. W. J. Epting of Celina and
Rev. f}. E. Canister, the latter of Van
Alstyne. The body was conveyed to
Cottage Hill cemetery and lowered to
rest beside the body of her hus-
band who died April, 1921.
A rich offering of flowers told in a
most impressive way of the love and
esteem in which this dear old pioneer
mother was held.
Serving as pall-bearers were three
grandsons: Aaron, Cecil and J. A.
McWhirter and Jim Thompson, Ben
Phillips and Murph Balch.
Mrs. McWhirter, before her mar-
riage Nov. 22, 1866, was Miss Mar-
garet Wilson, daughter of a pioneer
miller and wife of the Weston com-
munity.
in Mrs. McWhirter's childhood
this was a wild and sparsely settled
section with none of the conveniences
we have now. In that day neighbors
had to start fires from flint rocks or
borrow coals from a neighbor, travel
by the slow means of the ox wagon,
and read by a tallow candle or tallow
dip. It is difficult for the younger
generation to conceive that all these
changes have taken place within the
brief span of 85 years.
Mrs. McWhirter's father ran a mill
and farmed and had to hide out when
yankee soldiers came into the com-
munity. He also had to take pre-
cautions against the horse or two he
owned being confiscated by the north-
ern soldiers and frequently hid them
out into the brush until the yankees
were gone.
Mrs. McWhirter, in her youth, had
the experience of an Indian scare and
on more than one occasion saw the
redskins in the community. Wild
game, such as prairie chickens and
wild turkeys were here in abundance,
and members of her family often
dined on venison shot on or near
their farm.
Food, other than wild game, dur-
ing the war was scarce. The supply
of salt ran so short that the dirt of
the smokehouse floor was dug up
and processed for the salt it contain-
ed.
Mrs. McWhirter hart lived on the
farm where she died for about 60
years and her entire life was spent
in the immediate neighborhood.
Thirteen children were born to
Mrs McWhirter and husband, all of
whom are living. They are Mrs No-
va Callahan of Canyon. Mrs. B. F.
Douglas of Erick. Okla.: Mrs. Cora
Greathouse of Winter Haven, Fla.. L.
W. McWhirter. Mrs. Maggie Wes-
ter; F. E. McWhirter. all of Celina;
Mrs. J. A. Jester of Erick. Okla.: O. C.
McWhirter of Wichita Falls: Mrs. E.
W. Harris of Howe: J. T. McWhirter
of Claude; Alpha McWhirter of
Green Bay. Wis.. Uav McWhirter of
Bagwill and Mrs. Alta Pruitt of Pan-
handle. She had 66 grandchildren. 95
great, grandchildren and four great
great grandchildren.
Four of the children were unable
to be present with their mother in
her last, illness or to attend her fu-
neral. These were Mrs. Cora Great-
house. Winter Haven, Fla.: Mrs. No-
va Callahan. Canyon; J. T. McWhir-
ter. Claude, and Alpha McWhirter.

"Texie," a. spotted Indian pony
i mare, was a family pet. The Mitchells

I be fun to ride back. He rides "Chey-
I enne" and used "Texie" to pack his
