Earl Mahavier
Earl Mahavier, who would have reached his 59th birthday Christmas eve, 1930, passed out of this life Sunday afternoon, October 12, at the Gulf hospital.
Although it was generally known among his friends that he suffered with stomach trouble, no one considered him in serious danger, so his death came as a shock to the community.
Although he went about his daily tasks he spoke often, the past six weeks, of not feeling so well and finally collapsed without warning.
His relatives rushed him to Houston Friday and the attending physician there gave no hopes for his recovery and he was brought back to the Gulf hospital Saturday in an unconscious state in which he continued until the end came.
He was a descendant of one of Matagorda's pioneer families, was born and reared here. In his boyhood he united with the Christian church which faith he followed all his life.
He was unmarried, a loyal citizen, a neighbor and friend to all, honest and true and betrayed no man's trust and if he had an enemy it is not known. "Another life ends in the circle of friends."
The remains were in charge of the A. A. Duffy undertakers and the funeral was conducted at the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. William Vonweg, by Rev. Terly Wilson of Bay City, and concluded at the cemetery where he was laid to rest near his sister, Mrs. William Vonweg, who preceded him to the grave only ten days previous.
The floral offerings were just enough to make the place beautiful under which that semblance of Earl Mahavier rests.
Surviving him are two brothers, Albert and Vollie Mahavier, and a sister, Miss Kate Mahavier, several nieces and nephews.
