Mrs. Fred Malone Dies Suddenly at Home Saturday
Funeral Rites for Pioneer Citizen Are Held Here Sunday

Mrs. Sallie Malone, wife of Justice of the Peace Fred J. Malone, died suddenly at her home here 
Saturday morning at 1:40 o'clock. Mrs. Malone had been in failing health since the death of her 
son, Ira Malonc, April 4, 1944, but her transition was unexpected. She was 77 years, 11 months, 
and 15 days of age.

Funeral services were held at the family residence, 2056 E. Milam street, Sunday afternoon, at 
4 o'clock. Rev. J. M. Lunsford, pastor of First Baptist Church, was assisted by Rev. Walter W. Lipps, 
First Methodist church pastor, in conducting the last rites. Sidney I. Malone, a great nephew of the 
deceased, sang two of Mrs. Malone's favorite hymns, The Way of the Cross Leads Home, and 
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere. Mrs. W. J Coleman played the accompaniment.

Interment was in Glenwood cemetery. The funeral was under the direction of Galloway Mortuary. 
The pallbearers were Harry Brown of San Antonio, Ray Welder, Geo. H. Atkins, Robert Beasley, 
G. S. Thompson, Boyd Nutt, Judge Joe Wade, and Sheriff Vail Ennis.

Sallie Terry was born in Victoria, June 6, 1871. She was a daughter of W. C. and Sallie M. (Yarrington) 
Terry. When she was five years old, her mother died. Her first schooling was in Nazareth Academy 
and Mrs. Casey's Institute. both private schools in Victoria, and at the age of 16 she attended a boarding 
school in Little Rock, Ark.

In 1878, Miss Terry carne to Bee county to make her home with her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. 
William B. Malone, on their ranch near Skidmore. On December 23, 1890. she was married to Fred J. 
Malone in Beeville.

Mr. and Mrs. Malone moved to Mathis immediately after their marriage, and after living a year in that 
community they came to Beeville, where they resided until the death of Mr. Malone's father, Fred J. 
Malone, Sr., at which time they moved to the Fred Malone, Sr., ranch near Skidmore, where they lived 
until 1894, when they returned to Beeville. They have resided in this city continuously since that time.

Both being descendants of pioneer southwest Texas families, Mr. and Mrs. Malone took up where their 
parents left off and became, themselves, pioneers in this comparatively undeveloped section, preparing
the way for others to follow.

Mr. Malone operated a grocery store for a number of years, later becoming justice of the peace in the 
Beeville precinct. He succeeded the late Dan Troy as county clerk, and served in that office until four 
years ago, when he retired voluntarily and sought and obtained the justice of the peace position again, 
an office that would give him more leisure time.

Rev. Mr. Lunsford and Rev. Mr. Lipps paid beautiful tributes to Mrs. Malone as wife, mother, neighbor, 
and friend, and to the consecrated Christian life she had lived in this community for almost 60 years. 
The floral offering was one of the largest and most beautiful ever seen here. Many from a distance 
attended the funeral services.

Mrs. Malone is survived by her husband; three daughters, Mrs. Abbie Cottingham of San Antonio, 
Miss Ada Malone, and Mrs. Mattie Beard of Beeville; a son, William B. Malone, San Antonio; six 
grand-children, Mrs. Marvin Hayes of Heidelburg, Germany, Fred Malone Hooey and Miss Grace Malone 
of Houston, Jimmie Beard and Sallie Beard, Beeville, and Susan Malone, San Antonio. and two great 
grandchildren, Marvin and Billy Hayes, Heidelburg, Germany.

Mrs. Malone had been a member of the Baptist church since 1892. when she joined at Skidmore. For many 
years, her membership has been in First Baptist Church in Beeville.
