Notes - A TRIBUTE: To The Memory of Mrs. Robert Broyles.
On October 27th 1904, there passed from earth into the Christian's glorious reward a woman known and loved by the old time residents of Palestine in the years gone by - then known as Mrs. GEORGE McCLURE, a winsome girl of many graces of heart and mind.
She was born October 14, 1849, in the sleepy, restful old Palestine of ante-railroad days in the old "Female Academy," the old white house with green shutters in the grand old grove of oaks on the hill, all of which is now only a bright sweet memory. She grew to a beautiful womanhood of rare intellectual gifts. There, at maturity, she taught the children of her friends.
At twenty-one years of age she joined the Methodist Church, in the old church in the old town; the simple old building embowered in verdant shade, where for years she was an earnest Christian worker and Sunday school teacher.
The name of McCLURE has also become only a memory in the Palestine of today. From the beginning of Palestine, Mr. ALEXANDER EWING McCLURE was one of the town's foremost citizens, the old law firm of A.E. McClure and Reuben Reese maintaining its prestige for years. For a quarter of a century he was part owner with "Jimi" EWING, also departed, of the old "Anderson County Advocate," and later the "Palestine Advocate," now also a thing of the dead past.
Miss Georgia McClure, the second daughter of A.E. McClure and Anne Glenn, his wife, was married to Mr. ROBERT BROYLES, a member of the Broyles family of Anderson County, on December 19, 1872, at Palestine, Texas.
Her eldest sister, Mrs. Mollie Hamlett, lives in Montalba, Anderson County. The eldest brother, Robert McClure, is an honored citizen of Rusk, Texas. In the old McClure burying ground of the old cemetery, lies "Billy" and "Alex," with others of the name. Thomas and George Ewing are surviving brothers.
About twenty-five years ago, or more, the subject of this sketch went with her husband to the far west and settled in what afterwards became known as Broyles' Valley, near Cherokee in San Saba County. There, far away from home and kindred she lived the courageous life of the pioneer woman. With all her culture and refinement, she made herself the friend and neighbor of the hardy pioneer class around her, and she was truly loved and lamented by them when she lay down in her last sleep.
Her good husband and five dutiful children survived her: Nellie, the eldest, living, Marsh, aged eighteen years, George, Sixteen, Rose, eleven years, and Alex, the nine years old baby. Dan, her eldest born, and Tom, the second son, and an unnamed infant have preceded her to the better land.
Her illness was brief, and she met death as she had always met life, bravely and cheerfully. She was noble and good, a devoted wife and mother, a useful and happy Christian, a never failing friend. She has left to her children their rich inheritance promised by Him who said, "That it go well with thee, and thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord."
