Report from Mart Herald Special June 15th
In Memory of Tip Coker
The teachings that death comes as a thief in the night seems so true and can be more fully realized since n June the 14th. when the fatal accident took place that robbed our friend, Tip Coker, of a liver that he loved so well. Just as he was near and dear to his mother, life seemed nearer and dearer to him, but he met that awful fate and was stolen from our midst, therefore we can only remember him for his many kind favors and compassionate words during his short life. He had a host of friends and his greatest desire was to please them and to do the things they would have him do. After he was shot, he requested B, his brother, to hand all he had left to his mother, after his expenses were paid. It seemed that in all his thoughts his heart reached out in sympathy for her. More thatn a thousand people attended the funeral, bu the most beautiful scene was the lovely flowers that were wreathed together as a token of love and friendship, and placed on the casket in memory of our departed friend. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved mother, kindred and friends, and trust that they will look to our blessed Savior for comfort and guidance. A Friend, Prairie Hill, Texas
Tip Coker was brother to B. Coker (buried a few yards away) and son of Amanda "Aunt Mandy" Coker, also interred in Prairie Hill Cemetery.
