Mrs. John Newcomer Died At Pipe Creek
Mrs. John Newcomer, nee Miss Hattie Buck, passed away at her home at Pipe Creek Tuesday night at 8:30 o'clock, after an extended illness. She was born in Victoria, Texas, March 28, 1866, and had reached the age of 82 years, 8 months, 2 days. Funeral rites were held at the Plummer Funeral Home Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, with Rev. H.T. Arnold, pastor of the Bandera Baptist Church conducting the services. Interment was made in the Pipe Creek cemetery at 4 o'clock where a short graveside service was conducted by J. Marvin Hunter, longtime friend of the family.
The pallbearers were Raymond Buck, Claude Buck, Graydon Buck, Earl Buck, Olan Buck and Felix Newcomer.
On October 21, 1890 she was married to John H. Newcomer at Pipe Creek and to this union seven children were born, five of whom are living, Jonathan Newcomer, Mrs. Lela Odom, Miss Mable Newcomer, of Pipe Creek, Johnnie Newcomer of San Antonio, and Mrs. Harriet Rotge of Kerrville. Also surviving are two brothers, Walter Buck of Pipe Creek and Robert Buck of Bandera, and three sisters, Mrs. Ed Mansfield and Mrs. Laura Callahan of Bandera, and Mrs. Mamie Buck of Clifton, Texas. There are ten grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
When Mrs. Newcomer came to Bandera with her parents in 1873, this was a very sparsely settled region and Indian raids were still common. She grew up in the Pipe Creek community, married there and reared her family of boys and girls there. Her husband passed away in 1934. She was truly one of the pioneer residents of the county and did well her duty as a homemaker and devoted wife and mother and as she laid aside burdens of life to be called to her heavenly home it was with the full knowledge that her work here had been well done. We shall miss her because she was beloved by everyone in the Pipe Creek community and also here but we know that her influence for good and the service she gave her community will be truly remembered by oncoming generations. To the bereaved family the Bulletin extends condolence and sympathy.
