J. Lester Hodges Funeral Rites Are Held Here Friday Funeral
services for James Lester Hodges, 59, well known business man, who died Thursday
afternoon, September 1st in a San Antonio hospital, were held Friday afternoon
at 5:30o'clock from the Hodges Funeral Home chapel with the Rev. James B.
Jordan, Methodistminister, officiating. Burial was made in the Junction
Cemetery. Hodges, who was associated with The Hodges Co., had been
in the hospital only four days but had been ill in his home several weeks.
Until recently, however, he had been at his place in the store where he had
worked continuously during the past 25 years. Except for three years
as Junction postmaster from 1915 to 1918 and the seven succeeding years ranching
in Edwards County, he worked altogether in the store which his father, the
late J. N. Hodges established and served as co-owner and manager, known as
the Schreiner-Hodges Co. but after the death of the manager, was called the
Hodges Co. A native of Bandera, Hodges was born January 31, 1890, and
came to Kimble with his parents in 1907. On March 3rd, 1911, he was
married to Miss Sarah Elizabeth Corder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Corder,
here, with the late John S. Durst performing the ceremony. The youngest
of their four children, Glenn, an officer in the Air Corps, died in action
on January 24, 1944. An integral part of the business firm which has
expanded in recent years to include a modern funeral home as well as the
grocery and dry goods store, Hodges will be missed in the business circles
of the town and among his many friends and relative. He will also be
remembered for his activities in the development of the town. At the
time the new high school building was erected, he was serving as secretary
of the Junction School Board. Survivors include the widow; one son,
James Lester, Jr. of Cleveland, Texas; two daughters, Mrs. W. G. Elzner of
San Antonio and Mrs. Harry Bundy of Boerne; three grandchildren, James Lester,
III and Hughetta Kay Hodges and Blair Bundy; and four sisters, Mrs. Mabel

KIMBLE COUNTY'S FIRST SETTLER DIES
The Junction Eagle, July 7, 1921
JOHN JOY Died July 2, 1921
Mr. John Joy departed this life at the home of his son, Dock Joy of Cedar
Hill, when he had almost completed his 89th year. A long
line of automobiles passed many comfortable homes as they followed the old
settler's body to the grave. This was in marked contrast to the conditions
of 1856,when he and his father with their families settled on the James River.
Then there was never a house nor a road, not a neighbor, not a church, nor
school in all of what is now Kimble County. They were our first settlers.
As an illustration of their frontier experiences it may be recalled that
Mr. Joy's mother and sister were killed by Indians on Banta Creek in Gillespie
County. Mr. Joy was born in Sebastian County, Arkansas,
in 1832. In 1854 he was married to Miss Nancy Ward, who continued with
him sixty years. She died in El Paso. There were
eleven children, sixty grandchildren, and forty-five great grandchildren.
Nine children survive him: Dock Joy of Cedar Hill, Lewis of Roosevelt,
Mrs. Effie Mogford of Kerr Coutny, Emery, Eli Joy and Mrs. Helen Boatwright
of Alamagordo,N. M., Joe of Washington, D. C., Levi of Bremington, Washington,
and Mrs. Ellen Lyles of Los Angeles, California.(Note: Nancy Ward Joy
died in 1915 and was buried in Concordia Cemetery, El Paso, Texas.
The two children preceding Mr. Joy in death were Will Joy, who died in Junction
in 1894; and Amanda Joy Pearl, who died at Cedar Hill in 1902.)
(John Joy was son of Wiley & Elizabeth Frazier Joy)

Phillip Joseph Dies Following Many Months of Illness
Phillip Joseph, a successful merchant in Junction since 1910, died at his
home hereWednesday, April 21, 1943 (sic), following many months of illness
from heart trouble.He had known for sometime that he could not live long,
but despite his intense pain, he bore his suffering courageously. He
was rational until a few minutes before his death. During his last
24 hours he expressed his desire concerning several matters. Funeral services
were held at the Schreiner-Hodges Chapel Thursday afternoon, April 22, Rabbi
David Tamarkin officiating, assisted by Mr. David Kanter. Final services
were held at the McCollum Murray Chapel in San Antonio Friday afternoon at
two o'clock,and interment was made in the Aguadas Achim Cemetery in San Antonio.
Active pall bearers were Omer Wright, Clay Secrest, C. A. Schraub, R. D.
Kothmann,T. H. Phillips and Ed Allen. Phillip Joseph was born in Austria-Hungary
on May 20, 1888, in what was later called Czechoslovakia. At the age
of 21 he came to New York City, where he secured work in a butcher shop at
three dollars a month. At the end of the first month he came to Lockhart,Texas,
where an older brother, Sam, had moved. He worked for his brother at
$12.00 a month, peddling dry goods around Houston. In 1904, while still
working for his brother, he came to Kimble County. His first stop as
a peddler in Kimble County was at the home of the late John Gardner.
By this time he was traveling in a wagon instead of on foot. After
two years, he bought the mules and wagon from his brother and started out
"on his own". His first trip was from the Del Rio to Sonora.
On this trip he became lost in one of the large ranches and had some difficulty
in finding his road as all roads at that time were only trails. Later
on Mr. Joseph centered his activities around Junction. At that time
where the Joseph store now stands was a mesquite flat. There were only
two general stores, a small school, two hotels, no banks, and three saloons
here. He made his headquarters at the Hodges Hotel. He soon received
encouragement to open a store in Junction. He liked the country, the
people and the scenery. A building 18x24 feet was leased from Dr. J.
Fred Burt and he opened his business in 1910 with two employees. His
business soon out grew this building and he leased a building 30x55 feet
from Frank Baker on the spot where the store now stands. By 1925 he
was forced to add to his building. In February, 1929, he doubled the
size of his building by buying the bank building adjoining his store and
added a men's department. Just 10 years later, in February, 1939, he
modernized his store by adding new equipment throughout. In 1927, he
opened a store in Rocksprings which he operated several years. He also
maintained stores in Mason and Winters for brief periods, but about the time
he modernized his store here he closed the other stores and centered his
time and effort in serving Junction and outlying territory. On December
21, 1910, he was married to Miss Selma Schaeffer in San Antonio. To
this union one daughter, Juliet, was born, who preceded the father in February,
1936. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Selma Joseph, who has worked
by his side during all these years;by two brothers, Sam Joseph, Lockhart,
and Gerson Joseph, Dallas, Texas; three sisters, Mrs.Hannah Franks and Mrs.
Pearl Lerman, Neward, N. J., and Mrs. Helen Berman, New Braunfels,Texas.
One brother remained in Austria-Hungary and has not been heard from since
Hitler over-ran the country. Phillip Joseph has been an outstanding
citizen. In the impressive funeral services here and in San Antonio,
Rabbi Tamarkin paid beautiful tribute to Phillip Joseph as a successful business
man, as a patriotic citizen, as a philanthropist, and as a religious man.
He also paid a deserved tribute to Mrs. Joseph, who has cared for him tenderly
during his affliction,and has been a true partner with him in the business
during moe than 30 years. Phillip Joseph's words of counsel in both
business and civic matters and his financial assistance in every movement
for the betterment of Junction and Kimble County will be missed.He was truly
one of Kimble County's best citizens.

Mrs. John L. Jones Succumbs On 76th Anniversary Kimble
county friends were saddended Saturday when the news spread rapidly that
Mrs. Lucy Elizabeth Jones, wife of the late John L. Jones had died in San
Antonio after a brief illness. She had been in ill health many months,
but suffered a stroke the day before her death. The body was prepared
for burial and funeral services were held at the Hagy-McCollum-Murray Funeral
Chapel in San Antonio, Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock with Rev. J. E. Dekle
officiating. Interment was made in Red Creek cemetery under the direction
of the Schreiner-Hodges Co. The following grandsons were pallbearers:
Lemuel Jones, Jack Jones, Billy Braley, Cecil and C. C. Smith and A. J. Lindsay.
Mrs. Jones was born in Bandera county July 29, 1863, being 76 years old on
the day of her death. Preparations were being made by members of her
family for her anniversary celebration, but she told them that instead of
a celebration they would hold her funeral. Seldom does a person die
on the date of their birth. On January 1, 1880, she and John L. Jones
were married. They moved to Kimble county where they spent the greater
part of their lives. After the death of her husband, Mrs.Jones moved
to Junction for a few years and then to San Antonio where she lived at 134
North Drive for 12 years. She is survived by one son, Tom Jones, Junction;
two daughters, Mrs. Wes Smith, Mason and Mrs. Lola Jones Braley, San Antonio,
and other relatives. Mrs. Jones was a member of the Baptist Church
and of the old Trail Drivers Association. Before moving to San Antonio, she
was a member of the Order of Eastern Star. In the home-going of Mrs.
Jones, another one of the true pioneer citizens is gone. No one was
quicker to repond to the cries of the needy than Mrs. Jones. Her influence
for good,will continue to live in the lives of those with whom she came in
contact. A truly good woman has gone to her reward.
