OBITUARY

Death Called Mrs. Liles Early Saturday Morning

Mrs. Walter F. Liles passed to the Great Beyond and  her reward last Saturday morning at 4:25 o'clock after a sickness which had lasted since the the week preceding Christmas of last year. Seemingly healthy and robust and of a cheerful disposition we were somewhat surprised when curing the Christmas Holidays we were told that she was suffering and was not able to join the family gathering which met at the Hardin Perry home on Christmas Day. Since that time she has been given the best of medical attention but kept slowly weakening until the end came as above stated.
Funeral services were held in the Union Baptist church Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. Melvin Joines, her pastor, in charge, in charge and delivering the message of cheer and hope to the family and assembled friends. Rev. W. E. Anderson of Dallas and Rev. A. W. Cunningham, Rev. W. N. Vernon and J. W. Gravley assisted in the services. Interment was in Perry cemetery beside the daughter who had gone on before. Pall bearers were Walter Kennedy, Bob Patterson, Roy Russell, E. H. Bishop, Roy Tharp and Denver Seale.  The latter two  were associates of Mr. Liles from the office of Sheriff Hal Hood in Dallas.

Callie Perry was born on the home farm east of Carrollton May 17, 1883, and spent her entire life here where she was well known and loved for the wonderful girl and woman she was. February 9, 1902, she was united in marriage with Walter F. Liles and to them one child, a daughter Myrtle May was born. The daughter lived to the age of five years and then passed on. She leaves the husband to morn her passing.
Her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. Harden Perry, survive her, as do four sisters and one brother. The sisters are are: Mrs. Cora Kennedy, wife of Sam Kennedy, Maggie Bryant of Houston, Maud Johnston, wife of James Johnston, Minnie Bell Bailey, wife of D. J. Bailey; the brother Alex Wilson Perry of Beaumont.
Mrs. Liles was converted and joined the Baptist church when fourteen years of age and has been an earnest working and devoted followed of her Master ever since. In her passing the church loses a faithful laborer; her husband, an helpmeet of unusual character; the father and mother and sisters and brother, the daughter and sister that was ever a joy and inspiration.
