OBITUARIES Ammon Howard “Gene” Turnbow

Leland Paul Nauert

Gary Harley Taylor

Ammon Howard “Gene” Turnbow was born July 1, 1923, in the Hazeldale Community near Gustine in Comanche County, TX, the youngest of seven children born to Robert Lee and Ellen Turnbow. On Tuesday morning, July 9, 2019, Gene Turnbow, beloved husband, father and grandfather passed into the arms of his Lord and Savior.

Gene completed eight years of school at Hazeldale prior to engaging in farming with his dad until he was 17 years old.

On December 7, 1941, when Pearl Harbor was struck, Gene decided to join the Army, but was rejected because he had flat feet; he then applied with the Air Force, once again being rejected due to skull issues and on his third attempt he was accepted by the Navy serving until WWII ended. While serving in the Navy he was stationed in California and Guam working as an electrician on the ship and helping to rewire and restore electricity to Guam.

Gene and his best friend, Glynn Ed Murphy, went to work for his brother in law, Cadillac Jones in the jukebox business in Breckenridge, TX. As time passed Gene and Glynn bought the business dividing it into two districts, Stamford and Breckenridge respectfully. It was around 1947 that Gene moved to Stamford naming his business Turnbow Music. He worked in the jukebox business until the early 1970’s when he decided to change professions and venture into ranching, a venture that took him into retirement in the 1990’s. Gene took great pride as an avid fan in Stamford Bulldogs sports, rarely missing a game. He was also a member of the VFW. Gene married Viva Wright on September 29, 1972 in Stamford, TX. Gene was preceded in death by his parents, 1 brother, Clifford Turnbow; 5 sisters, Omie, Alma, Delma, Lola and Jimmie, and a son in law, David Lassetter.

He is survived by his wife of almost 47 years, Viva, of the home; 2 daughters, Ellen Lassetter and companion, George Shankle and Carolyn Turnbow all of San Angelo, TX; 2 grandchildren Andrew Lassetter and wife Pamela of Dallas, TX and Adam Lassetter of Houston, TX; and a host of other relatives and friends.

Gene’s family will be receiving friends and family at Tankersley Funeral Home (807 Columbia), Thursday, July 11, 2019 from 5-7 p.m. Funeral Services will be Friday, July 12, 2019 at 11 a.m. at the First Baptist Church with Rev. John Ward officiating. Burial will follow in Highland Memorial Cemetery under the direction of Tankersley Funeral Home.

Memorials may be sent to the TCR Old Timers Association % Annette Wilson – 12233 CR 235 – Avoca, TX 79503 or Stamford Athletic Booster Club - % Matt Mueller – 620 N. Swenson

Leland Paul Nauert was born December 9, 1929, in Sagerton, the son of Herman and Ella Nauert. He was baptized on April 13, 1930, which began his lifetime of faith which was completed when he met his Savior face to face on July 3.

Leland married Becky Rosenquist on July 19, 1952, in Ericksdahl. He was a military veteran, having served as a military policeman during the Korean War while stationed at Forts Sill, Hood and Sam. He worked for the gas company and a laundromat and drove a truck before enjoying an 11-year teaching career at Stamford during the 1950’s and 60’s. He served as a trustee for the Stamford school district, and on many other boards.

A lifelong farmer, he and Becky bought the Eager Feed Mill in 1983, which, with their sons as partners, became known as Four Star Agricenter. However, the most important thing in Leland’s life was his family and his faith.

He was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Wanda Lene Ressmann; a son, Sammy Nauert; and a granddaughter, Monica Solis.

Leland is survived by his wife, Becky; a daughter, Vicky Solis, and her husband, Ralph; sons Lynn Nauert and wife, Robin, and Tony Nauert and wife, Teresa, and 1 daughter in law Leigh Nauert; 13 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren; sister, Faye Maroney and husband, Bill, of Victoria; brother, Lee Roy Nauert; 6 nieces, 3 nephews and many friends.

Visitation was Friday, July 5, from 4 until 5:30 pm at Tankersley Funeral Home. Funeral services were held at Bethel Lutheran Church in Ericksdahl at 10 a.m on Saturday, July 6, with burial following at the Bethel Lutheran Cemetery.

Serving as pallbearers are grandsons Shiloh Solis, Aaron Nauert, Nathaniel Nauert, Hayden Nauert, Landon Nauert, Tyler Nauert, Tannon Nauert and Trey Nauert.

Honorary pallbearers include Nathan Huysman, Nathan Copeland, Blake Greer, Rick Stover, Lupe Alvarado, and Jacob Wendeborn.

Gary Harley Taylor, 86, passed away July 4, 2019. Memorial Service: 2:00 Saturday, July 13 at Lucas Funeral Home in Grapevine.

Memorials: Should friends desire, memorials may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association. Gary was born to Linna and R.T. Taylor on January 30, 1933, Avoca, Texas.

He graduated from Avoca High School in 1949. Gary entered McMurry College in Abilene at the age of sixteen. After marrying his first wife, June Bohannon, he attended Texas Tech University and later attended the University of Texas in Austin. Moving to California in 1956, Gary worked in sales at Sears and became a Merchandising Manager. Moving back to Texas in 1969, Gary continued to work for Sears but later became a successful Real Estate Agent working for Ebby Halliday for 25 years. While still living in California, their son, Jimmy, became the center of their lives. Gary was a loving and supportive father and a good provider. He loved his son which later extended to his grandchildren, stepchildren, and great grands. In 1987, Gary married Myra Dunn.

It was then that Gary became a member of First Baptist Church of Grapevine. Together they enjoyed their church activities of Sunday School, Young at Heart, and always helping with Trunk or Treat. Before Myra’s death in 2009, they traveled extensively.

Gary was a very devoted caregiver to Myra as she battled cancer for 13 years. Julie and Todd, Myra’s children, both describe Gary as a Godly man who loved and supported them in every way. Gary filled a void in their lives by becoming their father for which they feel grateful and fortunate. Gary’s love for little children became more and more evident in his later years.

Going to a restaurant and seeing a little child always caused him to strike up a conversation about how cute they were. On a regular basis he would hand out quarters to children at church.

He would also go to Target and Walmart and hand out quarters to children. Gary’s special relationship with a local nephew and two nieces was evident as they described their uncle. Along with some of the funny pranks they played on one another, they knew him to be compassionate and caring, intelligent, Mensa smart, witty and quirky, and funny, and a prankster.

He was a great uncle who was fun to be around as a kid and as an adult. Playing games was a favorite past time for Gary.

There was always a game to play whether it was a board game, a card game, or a domino game. He even taught a niece how to play Chess. Gary was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Myra, and a brother, Bob Ed Taylor. Survivors: Son, Jimmy Taylor and his wife Susan of Houston; stepson, Todd Dunn of Austin; stepdaughter, Julie Dunn of Crowley; brothers, Don Taylor of Avoca and Tommy Taylor and his wife Madeline of Colleyville; grandchildren, Adrian and Audrey; step grandchildren, Tommy, Emily, and LeAnn; Two great grandchildren, Lily and Evan; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. The family would like to thank the caregivers at Meadowood Memory Care where he resided for the last 2 ½ years.

HELLO FROM COWBOY COUNTRY

By Luci Wedeking

Hope y’all are well! We’re still recovering from rodeo around here, and what fun it was! We had a great reception for our Outsider Art Round Up, many thanks to Jay Wehnert for curating such a lovely show and to the Grand Theatre for hosting our event while the museum building continues to undergo maintenance and repairs. We loved watching the TCR Grand Parade from under the theatre marquee and visiting with all the folks who came in, it was a great start to the rodeo!

This year was definitely one for the books, in more ways than one, making the 2019 Texas Cowboy Reunion one I will never ever forget. My family and I were honored to be invited to spend the last day of the TCR with the family of A.J. Swenson, out on A.J.’s original property east of town. As y’all already know,

if you read this column regularly, I have been visiting with A.J.’s descendants over the last few months while researching the series of articles we featured here about him back in April and May. It was amazing to get to visit all together in person during the very reunion that A.J.’s sons founded and ran while managing the SMS Ranches.

Many thanks to Steve Swenson of the Swenson Land and Cattle Co., who let me borrow some old photos from the SMS archive for visiting with everyone that day. Together we got to share and compare with A.J.’s clan and were able to identify some faces in one another’s photo collections and solve some long unanswered mysteries.

I learned so much more about A.J.’s story, hearing first hand experiences of their visits back to the old

country. I saw photos of the house where A.J. was raised in Sweden, which has since become a local tourist attraction and is open for the public to tour. I learned more about A.J.’s brothers and sisters, his mother and father, and more family descendants still living back in Sweden. I learned about how Swedish last names were traditionally passed down through the generations (one’s last name was their fathers first name + “son” or “daughter,” and changed with each generation) before people immigrated to America and everyone in the family officially became “Swenson.”

We visited about Sweden’s official Texas Festival (which is a big deal over there) and the little Swenson museum back in Sweden that mirrors our own, telling the Swedish version of the SMS story we share here in Cowboy Country.

It is so cool thinking about the international reach of our local history. It is certainly not just your regular “small town” history, and deserves to be celebrated in

bigger ways.

Perhaps the most amazing thing was seeing a few more photographs that had been taken of A.J. before he came to the SMS Ranches.

There was one of the whole family that matched the solo portrait from the SMS archives, both featuring A.J. wearing the same outfit in each. There was a distinguished standing portrait of him taken in Austin, TX, before his journey to work up here at the ranch.

And my favorite, another family portrait featuring his dear wife Selma and their first three sons, Carl, John Eric, and Willie, all just wee babes.

It was a great time climbing around through the family tree. I’d like to thank Eric and Linda Swenson, Fred and Christy Kreger, Mark and Martha Nell Richards, and their many children and grandchildren for making the Wedekings feel like part of the family.

We are looking forward to more visits in the future and sharing more stories, old and new still yet to come!

Well, here I go again. I was almost through typing my news article and the lighting struck and turned my electricity off and so I lost everything. I got a very light shower but lot of thunder and lighting and some pretty strong wind.

I suppose everyone had a great July 4th, sure was a lot of excitement going on with the rodeo and all other activities. Several from here attended the parade and the rodeo. Also the Old Timers Association had several things going on. The Fiddlers Contest was on Saturday morning, I went to that because I love to hear anyone play that fiddle. That was my Mom and Dad’s favorite. There were not very many fiddlers but they were good. They came from Haskell, Abilene, Eastland and California. Lot of great talent.

Here in the Heart of the USA PASTOR’S PEN

For those of us who were privileged to be born, and By Dr Robert Wingrove, live, in the heart of the Trinity Church greatest nation which has ever existed, we must be on guard that we do not take our situation for granted. We are a blessed people.

I know that there are those people who may read this and not, necessarily, be a resident of Stamford, or even the surrounding area, but the fact that you receive this newspaper tells me that you have some kind of connection with the Stamford area, and so you should understand how I feel about this little niche of the world.

I am not a native-born resident of Stamford, neither am I, technically, regarded as a native Texan. I apologize for that oversight, but I had no control over the events of my early life. My parents were chasing the oil booms of the ’50s and, like a band of gypsies, were working in the oil fields of southern Indiana when my appointed time arrived. They did see the error of their ways and returned me to Texas as fast as they could, and by the time I was a month old, we were back in West Texas.

We don’t have time, or space, to tell of all the twists and turns that, ultimately, brought my family and me to Jones County and Stamford, Texas, 25 years ago, but I’ll say that God definitely had his hand in it.

I said all that to say this: over the past week, with the events that surround the Texas Cowboy Reunion, I have gained a greater love and respect for the community in which I live. The history of not only the TCR but also the Stamford region, as a whole, is steeped in tradition and history. What a wonderful place to live and thrive.

I know that we can cross into dangerous territory when we begin to talk about pride and such, but I think that we should take a certain amount of pride in the place which God has planted us. Take a few lessons from those stalwart individuals who came before us and whittled out a place for themselves, and their families, in a land which can be hard and unforgiving at times. It may not be the most picturesque place in some people’s opinion, but to a kid that was raised in the sand hills of West Texas - I love it.

God has allowed us the privilege, and opportunity, to make a life here, and to serve him here, as a pastor, friend, and family man. I thank him for allowing me to be a part of a nation that is still “One Nation under God,’ and a nation that still has the greatest potential to reach a lost and dying world for Christ. Be Blessed.

You Can Always Go Home

This past week has been a fun and heartwarming time for me as I am writing this on the day after the final day of the 89th Texas Cowboy Reunion. I already spoke last week on the TCR itself so I will not go into any more detail here, but I will say that it was another good year and it felt great to have a camera in my hands again to help capture the THOUGHTS FROM moments that it brought this year. What I want to talk about UNDER THE CAP this week instead is the fact that I was able to spend almost the Will McClure entire week back in my hometown after officially moving to Sweetwater last October. Even though I was only about an hour’s drive away from Stamford, it still felt like a long way away some days especially on weekends when I needed to work on things for school the following Monday. Although it has not even been a year since I have moved, it was still great to be back in my hometown for a little while. From being able to catch up with people during and before the rodeo events to just sitting at my parent’s home and even helping out around the house, it has reinforced the idea that no matter how far away I may be, I can always come back home.

This brings me to my overall thoughts this week as I know that I am not alone in my feelings about coming back to Stamford. During the last night of the rodeo I went live on Facebook for a few events. In particular, I went live to present the grand entry in its entirety and read the comments afterwards of a few people either wanting to come back to Stamford for the TCR next year to loving their experience this year. I even myself posted a food picture of a burger I had from Blue Jean Café who were set up at the rodeo grounds and I read a comment from a former classmate that agreed with at least having Blue Jean when she comes into Stamford. Even if it is something as simple as stopping for a bite to eat, Stamford has, and always will, have a “welcome home” mentality to citizens past and present.

When it comes to going home, we all have a different place that we can call home. For most reading this we can call that home Stamford but that is not exclusive. Home could be Anson, Hamlin, Haskell, Hawley, Munday, or even further out. No matter where each one of us calls home, we should always have the mentality that we can always go back if we leave. A lot of people that are not “in the know” may not understand why so many want to go back and even possibly settle down in small towns like we live in because “there is nothing to do.” I personally challenge that way of thinking. Sure, small towns like Stamford and others may not have “everything,” but they have the one thing that big cities do not have: heart. Family members could end up living in the same big city such as Dallas and Austin and may not even see each other for a long time, but not in a small town. Home is indeed where you make it and it is up to each individual to decide how they define it. For me, it is the people that define my hometown of Stamford. From my family to the people that I have met, it is the connections that always make me feel warm inside when I see that familiar water tower as I take the exit off of 277 to drive the familiar streets. You may have a different idea of what defines home for you, reader, but just remember that however you feel about your home, know that you can always go back when you need that warm feeling deep down in your soul.

Until next time, dear reader, may cap’s off to you!

Sage Advice From A Sixteen Year Old

“My policy for everything is to always listen to people because they have so much that they can teach you. Everybody knows something that you don’t. And I always like to follow my policy of listening. It’s kind of my golden rule.”

Caleb Lewis is a junior at Highland Park High School in Dallas. He’s in the National Honor Society and takes advanced classes in Physics, English and French. He’s looking forward to college but hasn’t decided on a major.

“Engineering is one possibility, more specifically Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering. Then there’s political science and astrophysics. I’ve got a lot on my mind. I also need to find something that’s going to pay well as a career. There are plenty of things that would be fun to learn but couldn’t really get you anywhere financially.”

Caleb spent this past

summer working at a tennis center taking care of customers at the counter and heading up the tennis camp for kids.

He was on last year’s tennis team that won state. A few months ago when he was fifteen, Caleb built a computer.

“I had a computer and it wasn’t working right. I didn’t like it, so I decided to build myself a computer. I learned how to do it and built a computer. It’s very fast and looks great.”

Caleb found building computers fun. He has built 3 of them.

“The first one took 8 hours to build. The second one took 3 and a half hours and the third one took an hour and a half.”

He got his parts from Amazon.

“Amazon has nearly everything these days,

TUMBLEWEED SMITH

VIP MENU July 15-19 Monday Sauerkraut with German Sausage, Diced Potatoes, Salad, Jell-O Tuesday BBQ Sandwiches, Ranch Beans, Chips, Éclair Wednesday Lasagna, Italian Green

so I got everything I needed there: the central processing unit, the memory, the graphics card, the case, the mother board and the power supply.

You can add whatever you want from there.

Picking out the parts is harder than building the actual computer.”

He learned how to put the parts together by watching Youtube.

“YouTube is a great source for education.

I learned a lot from different people on there.

It’s very straightforward.

All you need is a screwdriver to put

Beans, Salad, Garlic Bread, Peach Dump Cake Thursday Cheeseburger, French Fries, Baked Beans, Brownie Friday Sausage & Potatoes, Butterbeans, Sliced Tomato, Cornbread, Jell-O

everything together. You have to pay attention to what you’re doing. One little mistake can wreck the whole project. I tried to avoid those mistakes.

There are certain rules to follow and you need to research them if you’re going to build a computer.”

I asked Caleb if he plans to build more computers.

“Absolutely. I’d like to build a laptop for college.

It’d be very hard to do but I’m curious to see if I could do it. I’ve only built desktop computers so far. If someone needs a laptop, I’d love to build it for him or her. It would really be fun.”

Caleb Lewis happens to be my grandson. He’s a sharp cookie.
