Greenville (Texas) Morning Herald, Tue, 16 Dec 1941, page 1, T.J. Amos, Veteran Field Man Of Herald, Dies Monday Afternoon

T.J. Amos, 75, veteran field circulation man for The Morning Herlad until ill health caused him to retire about three years ago, died at his home in North Heights Addition at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Although he had been in failing health, his condition was not considered critical until shortly before his death, when he suffered a heart attack.

Funeral services will be held at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon from Wesley Methodist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Paul Stephenson. Interment will follow in Forest Park cemetery.

Pallbearers will be: Leland Bagwell, Melvin Bagwell, W.C. Poole, Jr., T.R. Poole, Roy Dees and John McMurray.

Thomas James Amos was born in Springfield, Mo., on September 17, 1866. He came to Greenville early in life. He was a skilled craftsman and within a few years after attaining maturity established something of an innovation in this part of the state by establishing a buggy and carriage works, which was operated for many years on the present site of the Greyhound Bus Terminal.

For years, until the advent of the automobile gradually encroached upon the form of transporation, the Amos Carriage Works marketed their products not only to Texas, but over a wide range of other states and also in Cuba and other foreign countries.

Afterward Mr. Amos was on the road a number of years.

(Continued on Page 8.) T.J. Amos (Continued from Page 1.)

Almost thirteen years ago he accepted a place with the Herald as its Rural Field Representative, covering not only Hunt, but surrounding counties. The people he met and the homes in which he visited became part of a column which was widely read and enjoyed by Herald subscribers.

He was married August 26, 1937 to Miss Cora Stapleton. She and several nieces and nephews survive him. He was a splendid, loving husband, ever thoughtful of his loved ones and home and friends.

Early in life he professed Christianity and united with the Methodist church. He was for many years a member of Wesley Methodist church here. For twenty-seven years he had been a member of the board of stewards of Wesley and a member of the choir until ill health handicapped him. He was a steadfast, conscientious church worker, putting the same enthusiasm into that he did all else.

He was a member of the Modern Woodmen.

The countless friedns of Mr. Amos will regret the passing of this man, simple in tastes, but possessed of so great a personality as to make himself a component part of the lives of many people.
