also a student at the University, were married. In 1953, they moved
to Fort Worth, TX, where he was employed at General Dynamics as
an Engineer and in Management. In 1977, he took early retirement

kind and gentle man who cherished his family and church above all
else.

to Dory Franklin and Cora Mabel Hudson Parsons. She married
Emery Elton Gardner on July 22, 1941 in Hannibal, Missouri and
they lived for thirty five years in LaGrange, Illinois before moving to

Mary Elizabeth Harris
Mary Elizabeth (Frederick)
Harris was born April 13, 1912 near
Rocky, Oklahoma. She was the first
daughter born, after 7 sons, to Charlie
Deewood and Molly (Bunch)
Frederick. Weighing less than 4 lbs. it
was feared that she would not live
through the night. However, her
Grandmother made a little bed for her
out of a shoe box, then placed it near the stove to keep her
warm. Our family feels that her early struggle to live, helped
to make her a very strong person, one who survived many
difficulties in her lifetime. She graduated from Hobart High
School, winning honors for her beautiful penmanship and
poetry, as well as her gifted talent of sewing. Family members
were recipients of her "labors of love" as an excellent
seamstress, from Superman capes, to beautiful formals, to
shirts with matching ties. In 1931, she married James Gravlee
Harris, whose work as a road contractor took them to many
different areas of Oklahoma and Colorado. Being committed
Christians, the first place they sought to find in each new
town, was a good local church. While living in Hobart, her
husband had to leave early each morning to drive to his job at
the Naval Base at Burns Flat, Ok. Being without
transportation did not deter Mary's determination to be active
in her church, the First Baptist Church of Hobart. Many times,
with her children "in tow", they would walk nearly a mile to
the church, so that she could teach in vacation Bible School,
(back in the days when VBS lasted for 2 wks.) She loved
working with the 'little people' in the Sunday School Nursery,
as well as heading up the Bereavement Ministry and serving
as President of the Women's Missionary Union.
When the family moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado
in 1948, she continued teaching Sunday School as well as
once again serving as President of WMU in the First Southern
Baptist Church of Colorado Springs, while her husband
served as a Deacon in each church.
