THOMAS L. PICKENS, 66, WELL KNOWN CATTLE BROKER, DIES AT HOME FRIDAY; RITES TUESDAY MORNING
The community mourns the death of Thomas L. Pickens, 66, well-known figure in livestock and ranching circles, who passed away Friday afternoon at his home here. Mr. Pickens had been in failing health for several years, but his sudden death came as a shock to his family and friends, as he was apparently in good spirits Friday.
After lunch he stated he was going to rest awhile, and shortly after a young grandson became anxious when he couldn't awaken the cattle broker who had lived in Kerrville for the past 20 years.
Funeral services will be held from the First Methodist Church Tuesday morning, July 20, at 10 o'clock with the Rev. Fred Brucks, pastor, officiating, and assisted by the Rev. J. Roy Hilliard, pastor of the Woodlawn Methodist Church of San Antonio. Burial will be in the Garden of Memories under auspices of the Kerrville Lodge No. 697, AF&AM. Smith Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Pallbearers will include Karl Mosty, Edmund Furley, David Brewton, Leslie Ottinger, L. T. Davis and Pierce Hoggett.
Mr. Pickens was born August 18, 1887 in Lottsburg, Arkansas. He operated a dairy in Cotulla before moving to Kerrville, and since that time has been active in the cattle brokerage business. Survivors include his widow, Mrs. Eugenia Pickens of Kerrville, one daughter, Mrs. Nadine Lesikar of Houston; five sons, Ted Pickens of Eugene, Oregon, Commander Stanley Pickens, U. S. Navy, Seal Beach, California, Lynn Pickens of Corpus Christi, Warren Pickens of Big Spring, and Marvin Pickens of Kerrville; a sister, Mrs. Louis Colwell of Batesville, and 11 grandchildren.
