There are those people who pass
quietly through this life making impact
as they go.
Jim Williams, who died suddenly at
his home last Tuesday, was one of those
people.
The total impact of our loss has not
become fully aware to those of us who
knew, respected and loved him. It will
come gradually, with time, as we try to
fill the gap left by his passing.
He served as a steadying influence in
my life by his faithful service to the
Trinidad First United Methodist Chur-
ch. There he served in every possible
capacity . . .Sunday School teacher,
chairman of the board, choir director
and treasurer for more years than I can
remember. He made a great im-
pression on me by caring for others who
needed care, for loving his wife with
respect, and for raising a family full of
fine children.
In recent years I have worked with
various youth groups in our church. He
was always there, quietly helping.
Sometimes he pressed a $5 bill in my
hand to help pay for gas for a trip we
were making. At times he came to me,
quietly, and offered to pay the expense
for sending a child to church camp. At
other times, when we had fund raising
dinners or bake sales, Mr. Jim was
always there, quietly supportive, with
Mrs. Williams at his side.
It is a great tribute to a man when his
passing is so widely me)wand.
"It takes a good heart to be the kind of
man that Mr. Jim has been.
His heart played out on him last
week, but I know that a part of it is still
at work .... the little parts that he
shared so freely with others.

The Malakoff Cemetery Association is in need of $3,000 for the purchase of two mowersi

A school trustees once said that you could always tell a good superintendent by
restrooms in the school building. If those rooms were maintained, clean and neat,
taking care of all facets of the job.
We believe the same can be said for a city.
If the city is concerned and cares, the resting place of their dead will be tended to.
Malakoff has a beautiful cemetery site. It is, and has been, well maintained over the
is nine acres of dedicated land that is fenced, with brick markers at the entrance
the center. It has been cared for .... and that care is obvious.
In addition, members of the Malakoff Cemetery Association have looked with
the future. In an effort to make the cemetery perpetual care, a fund has been
nearing its goal of $50,000 to assure that care will continue throughout the years.
It takes money to do these things. Money that must come from people who expect to
facilities someday and from people who have family already buried there.
The need is here now .... and now is the time to make your contribution to.,

Donations may be left at The Malakoff News office or given directly to C. O.
