He was also a member of the building crew that put up the Geronimo Volunteer Fire Department Station in 1988.

He was baptized Sept. 18, 1916 and confirmed April 13, 1930, both in Emanuel's Lutheran Church in Seguin.

On April 12, 1941 Rueben married Ellie Clara Schuenemann. They were blessed with one son, Wayman.

The burial rites were conducted in Guadalupe Valley Memorial Park by Rev. Dean.

People get to know people on a first name basis. Whether they are young or old, their lives are just as important as anyone else's. That's why when little five-yearold Allison Ralcy came to me with her news, I decided to write it in our column. Allison said that they had found a small red bird and her cousin Serena Nelson was taking care of it because it couldn't fly.

She was afraid that if they let it loose, the cats would eat it. For Allison's sake, we all hope the little bird makes it just fine. On Saturday, May 1, Diana Locke celebrated a birthday.

By then people had already had their Mother's Day barbecue and were ready to call it quits. I'd like to dedicate this pocm made to all the moms in and around the Staples area. Mother's Day for me is everyday. This is especially for my mom, Dominga Padron. You're the first one that I turn to When my world is all a mess, For the shoulder that I cry on Is yours by far the best.

A hug from you is one to cherish For I could never get enough, Cause raising my own family Is really, oh so tough. I will always, always need you So please be there again, Cause these praises that 1 sing to you Come sincerely from within. At times I make you mad And then in doubt of me you'll be, But remember, mom, 1 truly love you Cause you mean the world to me. good and the attendance was good, especially for Mother's Day when so many visit with their mothers and other relatives out of town.
