Funeral Rites For Velma South Funeral services were held Tuesday, Jan. 15, 11 a.m. at the Henderson United Methodist church for Mrs. Velma Evans South, daughter of Elmer and Jennie Asell Evans. Her childhood was spent in the Henderson area where she grew to womanhood. Dr. South, a young veterinarian, had established his practice in Henderson. He joined the U.S. Cavalry, and was stationed at Ft. Sill, Okla. He sent for Velma, and she boarded the train in Henderson, arrived in Lawton, Okla., where they were married on Oct. 24, 1918. Following his service in World War I, they returned to Henderson to make their home. To this union one daughter was born, Barbara South, who is now a civil service employee, serving as an entertainment director for the Army, stationed near Kaiserslautern, Germany.
Velma South was an active member of the Henderson United Methodist Church, the Legion Auxiliary, Order of the Eastern Star, and the B.Y.K. Club, a local social group, of which the Charter Members were mostly old school friends. She took great interest in all community affairs, but her main interest centered in her home and family, she was a natural homemaker, gracious and unpretentious. She gave loving care to her parents in their last illnesses, and to her husband after his health failed. His death occurred December 1955; an only brother also preceded her in death.
Left to mourn her passing are her daughter Barbara; sister, Mrs. Juanita Melindy, Co. Bluffs, nieces, Mrs. Patricia. Holt, Mrs. Joan Bolton, Mrs. Betty Wright and Mrs. Virginia Nebola; nephews, Jim and David Blauvelt, sister-in-law, Mrs. Lela Blauvelt; brother-in-law, Levi South.
