The Normangee Star Vol. XXIII NO 25 April 18, 1935 J. P. Jamison The news of the sudden death of J. P. Jamison shocked out community. Mr. Jamison was superintendent of Garden City school. He was stricken with pneumonia on April 10, during a severe dust storm, which covered the town with a suffocating pall of darkness. He passed away on April 13, 1935. He was brought home accompanied by several of his faculty and students and other friends.
Services here held in the First Baptist Church Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, which beautifully adorned with roses and ferns.
Rev. C. E. Bullock, the pastor, was assisted by Rev. Chester Harris, Methodist pastor, and Rev. R. N. Davis the Harmony Baptist pastor.
The choir was composed of groups from all the churches in town. The pastor offered appropriate scriptures, prayers and comforting messages, and the favorite songs of J. P. were sung.
The J. M. Day Funeral Home directed all details. Twelve junior girls formed an aisle holding floral sprays for the processional.
J. P. Jamison was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. W.S. Jamison. He was born July 13, 1892. He graduated from High school here in 1911.
He united with the Baptist church at the age of 16, enlisted in the World War, November 6, 1917, went overseas and served until the end. He was in the 36th Division, Co. K of the 143rd Infantry. He arrived in France, July 30, 1918, returned home June 1, 1919 and received his discharge June 12, 1919.
He was married to Miss Nina Powledge, October 5, 1919. He was a graduate of Sam Houston College in Huntsville, and his master's degree from A & M. He had taught in Snyder and Sterling City. He was also a faithful church worker and Sunday school teacher. He was superintendent of his Sunday school in Garden City. When he knew the end was near he expressed himself as "prepared to go." He had planned to bring his Vocational Agriculture boys to A & M College and had written his mother that he would come on here to visit them on the 15th. And he came; and was laid to rest in the Hopewell Cemetery. Our beloved flag the folds of Old Glory draped his casket.
The local Masonic lodge had charge of the burial service at the Cemetery, and the American Legion blew "Taps" as the body was lowered to its last resting place.
He leaves to mourn his loss, his parents, his wife Mrs. Nina Jamison, three sisters, Mrs. Ed Parker, Mrs. E. D. Debeaux of Houston, Miss Pauline Jamison, two brothers, Will Jamison of Navasota and G. N. Jamison of Goose Creek. Many friends join the star in offering deep sympathy to the bereaved family. May he who doeth all things well, bind up their broken hearts.
Among the out of town relatives and friends here for the Jamison funeral were: Prof. Norman Taylor, Garden City; Prof's Wilson, Gee and Graham of Sam Houston State Teacher's COllege; Distict assistant Superintendent Vocational Agriculture Taylor White of Odessa; Mr. and Mrs. John Benney of A & M College; Mrs. Carr of Bryan; Mrs. N. Collard, Mrs. O. Collard, Mrs. Boyce and Mrs. House of Fort Worth; and Mr. and Mrs. Kirby Powledge of Bedias.
