Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock for Miss
Tenie Holmes whose 78th birthday would have been August 17th. The
services were from the First Baptist Church and interment was in
Cedarvale Cemetery.
Pallbearers were Connie Anderson, Laddie Lowe, Frank Lewis, Rowland
Rugeley, Dick Bachman, Tom J. Poole.
She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Mary E. Eddleman of Rosebud.
Miss Holmes' death came suddenly Friday afternoon at the Matagorda
General Hospital. Although at the hospital for treatment, Miss
Holmes was not considered dangerously ill and death came suddenly
and unexpectedly.
The gracious lady who had closed but over a half century of
teaching, probably had taught members of every old family in the
city and many new families as her kindergarten work continued long
after she resigned from the public schools. In fact she was actively
engaged in this work this year.
She had attended school as a girl in Durango, Texas from 1883 - 1891
and then entered Baylor University for a two year period. When she
was sixteen she taught in the Hawes family at Saluria Pass. She
taught in Bay City from 1894 through 1924 and she had also taught in
may places in the county.
She was a member of the Baptist Church, the O.E.S., and the United
Daughters of the Confederacy. While teaching in Bay City she
continued her college work during the summer months and attended
Baylor University in the summers of 1914, 1916 and 1920.
Miss Holmes had been active in her school work and also in civic
affairs and church and club affairs. Her keen interest in everything
caused her to ever have a youthful outlook on all problems yet her
age and wisdom afforded her a mellow approach to the problems.
