Son of William Beene, Lula (Emmons)
OBITUARY
Funeral services were held for Carl L Beene who passed away Christmas day. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, two sons, two sisters, and seven brothers. Pallbearers were R. E. Weikel, C. Hamel, R. E. Jenkins, T. J. Gilliam, C. A. Chambers, and John Gregerson. The Tri-Cities Post, American Legion, was in charge of services at the grave.
Born at Marquez where he finished high school, Mr. Beene was a sergeant in the army during World War I. He joined the Humble Company May 1, 1920, working first in the boilermakers, and later in the machinist department. In 1941 he transferred to the Baytown Ordinance Works in mechanical maintenance, and returned to machinist department a few months later where he worked continuously until his death.
Carl was one of the first employees to go to work at Baytown. During his twenty-six years with Humble he saw a former rice field transformed into the site of the nation's largest refinery. He saw a small group of pioneer employees expand to include thousands, and his circle of friends expanded accordingly.
The BEE joins with his legions of friends in extending heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family and relatives.
