      Funeral Services Friday for Leo McDaniel

      Funeral services were held Friday, Sept. 6, at 3:00 o'clock, for Leo Windham McDaniel, 89. of San Augustine, retired nurseryman.

      Mr. McDaniel died at 3 am Wednesday, Sept. 4, at San Augustine Memorial Hospital where he had been for several days.

      Funeral services were held from the First Baptist Church with Rev. Floyd Wright officiating. Burial was in the Liberty Hill Memorial Gardens under the direction of Wyman Roberts Funeral Home.

      Mr. McDaniel was born September 13, 1906, in Sabine County, but had lived since a small lad at San Augustine, where his father, the late W. F. McDaniel, established the McDaniel Nursery at the site of FM 711, one mile from town, where Leo continued the business after his parents both died.

      Mr. McDaniel attended San Augustine Schools and followed public works for a number of years as well as the horticulture profession. For many years he was chief horticulturalist on the original Brooks Farms, east of San Augustine, some of which later became part of Fairway Farms.

      Mr. McDaniel was a member of the First Baptist Church and was honored by the congregation in 1995 when he and his wife, Pauline, were elected Valentine King and Queen, and he was similarly honored on Fathers Day this year as the Oldest Father with children at the service that day.

      Mr. McDaniel was free to offer his "green thumb" to the youth of the area, spending many hours working with school children on projects and with Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in their quest for knowledge and merit badges.

      Survivors include his wife, Pauline Johnson McDaniel of San Augustine; daughter Nancy Carol McDaniel Lynch of San Augustine; grandchildren, Varron McLemore and Sarah Hudgins both of Nacogdoches and great-grandchildren, Eric and Emily McLemore of Nacogdoches.

      Pallbearers were: Tom Smith Jr., Lorey Poss, John Mathews, Noble Hargrove, Mike Jackson, Lynn McLemore and Bill Swearingen.

      Leo and Pauline McDaniel 60th Anniversary Friday at Home

      Mr. and Mrs. Leo McDaniel, Leo and Pauline, will observe their 60th Wedding Anniversary quietly at their home here on Friday, July 1.

      Leo and Pauline were married at the San Augustine Methodist Church parsonage on July 1, 1934. She is the former Pauline Johnson of Bland Lake.

      Pauline and Leo do not plan any formal celebration, but will be happy to receive friends and relatives at their home on FM 711, just over the hill from Highway from (sic) 96.

      Except for a few years in the shipyard at Beaumont during World War II and occasional public works and pipeline jobs, Leo has spent his career in and around San Augustine. A gifted nurseryman, he was caretaker of the vast Brooks farm pecan orchards for many years, before moving in 1945 into the nursery business established by his late father, W.F. McDaniel and wife Sarah. He was also employed at Holly Farms.

      Pauline was employed with Wyman Roberts Funeral Home for several years before joining the sales force at J.P. Mathews Co where she retired after 30 years of employment.

      Both are members of the First Baptist Church. Pauline is an active member of the order of the Eastern Star.

      Pauline and Leo's only child, Nancy Carol Lynch will be around to help them on Friday. They also have two grandchildren, Varron McLemore of Nacogdoches, and Sarah McLemore Hudgins of Tampa, Florida and one great-grandchild, Eric McLemore of Nacogdoches.
