(Emma) Butler of Dallas; one sister, Mrs. Aileen Rowton of Greenville and Ansel Shrum of Arlington and one grandchild, Renee Tanner of Paris.
--
He was a wonderful father and person. I guess everyone like him. He was a man of great integrity, very honest and trusting man. His motto was "anything worth doing is worth doing right". His word was his bond. He loved fishing, hunting, his small garden, feeding his robins, playing cards, Christmas; but what he really enjoyed was the companionship of his friends and family.
He was named for Pres. Woodrow Wilson.
