Wednesday Funeral Set, Memorials Will Buy Bells
The funeral service for Eleanor Markley, who died from injuries suffered in a Saturday night traffic accident in Smithville, Texas, will be 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at Christ Lutheran Church, 1500 Cron. Rev. Gaylen Burow will officiate and burial will be in Elmwood Cemetery.
She and her husband, Kenneth, were near the home of their daughter and son-in-law, Kathleen and Rev. Bill Usher, in Smithville when their Pontiac automobile was struck by a Chevrolet pickup truck at a highway intersection. Mr. Markley suffered from shock after the accident, but returned home yesterday.
Three young men in the pickup truck were treated and released from the Smithville hospital for minor injuries they suffered in the accident.
Bell Memorial Fund
A memorial fund has been established at Christ Lutheran Church in loving memory of Mrs. Markley. Memorial monies will be used by the church for the purchase of handbells and formation of a bell choir in accordance with family wishes.
Mrs. Markley loved music and especially the music of the bells. She once said, “Bell music surely must be the music that is played and heard in heaven.”
“The love of Eleanor rings in the hearts of so many in this community and now each time we hear the bells our hearts will be filled with her love and the heavenly sounds they produce,” said Rev. Bill Usher, who was ordained Sunday at the Grace Lutheran Church in Smithville.
Donations to the memorial fund should be made directly to Christ Lutheran Church and designated for the Eleanor Markley Memorial Fund.
