Obit-Gonzales Inquirer Sep. 30, 1907 pg. 3

Mrs. M. C. Blassingame

Died, at the home of her grandson, Mr. A. H. Planck, on North College Street, at 9:05 o'clock on Saturday night, September 28, Mrs. M. C. Blassingame, aged 75 years, 1 month and 10 days. The interment occurred yesterday afternoon at 6:30 o'clock in the City cemetery, Rev. J. T. B. Anderson, pastor of the Baptist church, officiating. The death of this estimable lady was a painful shock to her many friends and acquaintances throughout this section, where she had resided for so many years. While she had been in feeble health. It was not until the past few days that grave fears were entertained for her recovery.

As the hour for the services at the home drew nigh a large concourse of friends assembled to pay their last respects to the departed, who was a friend to them in life and whose memory they will ever hold dear. At the conclusion of the services at the home, the procession moved to the City cemetery, where the interment occurred. The pall bearers were:

Active-M. T. Haynes, J. S. Lowery, Geo. Ewing, J. H. McCaleb, Ed Scheske and Stuart Johnson.

Honorary-J. M. Johnson, O. Staff, W. S. Bunton, Henry Qualls, G. N. Dilworth, Jon. S. Conway, Claude O'Neall, W. B. Cavett, K. K. Jones, Tom Thompson, Jon. C. Bell.

The newly made mound bore many evidences of the love and esteem in which the deceased was held by those who knew her, for there were many beautiful floral offerings laid upon the grave.

Mrs. Blassingame had been a resident of Gonzales county about 53 years and enjoyed the love and esteem of all who knew her. She was a member of the Baptist church and her life was a beautiful example of Christian duty, for she was ever faithful to the cause of her Master and was ever ready to bear testimony to His mercy and goodness. Truly, her life has wielded an influence for the up building of humanity and for the furtherance of His kingdom.

Mrs. Blassingame left to mourn her death three daughters, Mrs. W. B. Harrison of Fort Worth, Mrs. Stanford Collier of Phoenix, Arizona, and Mrs. J. W. Williamson of Gonzales, besides seven grandchildren and a large number of relatives throughout the county and state.
