• Notes

  Homer attended school in Port Lavaca where he developed an aptitude for math. His parents were talented musicians, but Homer was orphaned at 15 and separated from his siblings. He moved from relative to another. His trust in God and the help from relatives and Masonic friends gave him a source of strength. During the Great Depression, he traveled the rails, as many did, looking for work. He was hired as a bookkeeper and timekeeper with the WPA in La Grange. Homer and his family were active in the First Baptist Church where he served as treasurer. He was a Bible scholar and had exquisite handwriting. As a result, he was often asked to pen special awards given by the church. He was a Free Mason which he considered a noble means of serving others. Homer worked as a public accountant for the Fayette County Auditor for over 30 years. His biggest regret was being rejected as a soldier, so to compensate, he sought to protect the integrity of our Constitution. He enjoyed visiting and traveling with family.
