THERRELL
Aberdeen. Miss., Thursday Morning, March 30, 1950
A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE GASTON THERRELL
As a person grows older, he realizes that true friends are a scarce article, and when we lose one, it is really a great loss. This writer feels that way about the death of Mr. Gaston Therrell. As we listened to the funeral rites last Saturday afternoon. a troop of memories came back to us That September day in 1915 when we first came to Aberdeen, arid began our work with the Examiner, it was in response to a telephone message from Mr. Therrell, and he was the man who introduced us to the work, and one year later negotiated the sale of the newspaper to us. The house that we now live in, where our little family grew to maturity, was secured for us by him, and many, many other helpful and generous kindnesses were shown us by him and his splendid wife.
A man of stern realities, yet beneath It all a kindly heart and a roost generous one. When we signed notes for the purchase; of the Examiner-a most formidable undertaking in that day, considering our extremely limited financial means and one that could have had a disastrous finale. .Mr. Therrell was standing by, and after the papers had been signed and we turned to go, Mr. Therrell called us aside and told us "if you ever need help come to. see me. Luckily it was not necessary to ask financial aid-but this act was typical of things that happened throughout a lifetime. Quiet, unostentatious kindness and generosity marked his life.
Then we thought of his conspicuous success. Beginning as a farm boy, in one our poorer north Mississippi counties, and largely by his own efforts he made a conspicuous success in many lines of endeavor, lie once purchased the large compress at Columbus, and paid for It with a personal check. He conducted mercantile businesses at Eupora, Ackerman, and Grenada, finally devoting himself to the cotton brokage business. He was associated with the late Joseph Newburger, of Memphis, one of the leaders of tire South in that day, as a business associate. He knew the hundreds of different grades of cotton, arid could contract with tire big cotton mills in the Carolinas, or in Fall River, Mass., and supply them with the exact grade of cotton required for their spindles, or he could supply the mills in Liverpool aid Lancastershire in England with the same assurance and success.
A good many years ago, he retired from the cotton business, and bought large prairie farms. When everybody was losing confidence in prairie lands in depression days, Mr. Therrell's faith never faltered. He bought thousands of acres, and some months before his death sold his holdings at a handsome profit.
Among his other admirable qualities was an exquisitely fine artistic taste. On his trips to New Orleans or Chicago, or New York, or Boston, he used to purchase "presents" for members of his fine family. Lovely new clothes and hats for his girls, all in perfect style and taste, along with jewelry, furniture, household goods, or whatever struck his fancy. and his selections were remarkably fine and tasty.
The stately Methodist Church in our city, bears on its cornerstone the name of Gaston Therrell as a member of the original building committee. He was a consistent member of that Church throughout a long useful life. He knew hardship, and he knew abundance. To a considerable extent, the Lord gave him "the desires of his heart"-business success, a fine family, a long, - useful life, with many friends from the lowliest to the great ones 'of our land. And as we saw the curtains drawn before the casket, we recalled some lines learned in boyhood from the Bard of Avon: "Life's feverish dream o'er, The king sleeps
