WILLIE MONROE BIHL
(contributed)
The tragic death of Willie Monroe the only son of Mr.
and Mrs. L. M. Bihl is entitled to more than a passing notice
on account of the family being well known in Menard county.
Deceased was born at Fort McKavett on November 21, 1890 having nearly completed his twenty seventh year. The sad death occurred at San Angelo on Saturday, September 22 as he was viewing a gas plant which exploded. He was to be shortly married to Miss Ruth Kilpatrick of San Angelo and was also drafted, passed his examination and expected to leave for military service on October 8.
The funeral took place from his home on the Henderson ranch near Eden
on Sunday September 23, the Rev.M. Webb of San Angelo
paying a beautiful tribute to the deceased who was taken away from his
loved ones so suddenly. Owing to the high esteem in which he was held
there was a large attendance and the floral offerings were many and tasty.
The bereaved parents have the sympathy of all the surrounding communities
in their distress.

Mrs. Wm. Bevans
All Menard was saddened Friday by the news of the death of Mrs.
William Bevans, which came after a lingering illness she bore
so bravely. All that money and loving kindness of husband, children and
her host of friends could do was done, but in vain.
Mrs. Bevans has endeared herself to hundreds of people in Menard and the neighboring counties and the family still suffering from the death of Portus, their son, but a short few weeks ago have the sincere sympathy of all in their great grief.
Mrs. Bevans was a member of the Episcopal church and lived as a true Christian should live doing many acts of kindness in her quiet unassuming way. She was a loving wife and mother and the family's loss is Menard's.
Mrs. Addie B. Nixon was born in Menard, April 7th, 1875, and was married to William Bevans, March 18th, 1894. Their married life was a most happy one and four children graced their union, Mrs. George Grandstaff, Mrs. J. L. Clark, John Portus and Harold H.
The entire family were at her bedside when she passed away, with the
exception of Jimmie, who was away and could not attend.
The funeral was held the following day, Saturday, March 23, at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. George Grandstaff, Rev. Mercer
officiating.
The honorary pallbearers were A. H. Murchison, G. W. Bradford, W. B. Ellis, R. H. Flutsch, J. P. McConnell and D. G. Benchoff. The active pallbearers were: George Stengel, W. A. Canon, B. A. Wyatt, Juan Jenkins, Lamar Sieker and Harris Maddox.
