Billy's Story
Life
After graduation from MPHS, I enrolled that summmer in East Texas State in Commerce. In August of 1953, I married Bette Doss and we made our home in Denton and enrolled in North Texas State. In the fall of 1954 we moved to Galveston where I taught Industrial Arts in Ball High until June 1956; then, back to Denton to finish my BA that August. We moved to Ft. Worth, I taught there two years. We were happy to move back to Mt. Pleasant where I taught from 1959 through 1968. In August 1969, I was employed as Guidance Counselor at Mt. Vernon Public Schools and obtained my MEd that Fall. I retired from education while at Mt. Vernon in January of 1991.
Bette and I were blessed with three boys and three girls, but in 1986 we lost our oldest daughter(age32)and then Bette died of Co...Expand for more
ngestive Heart Failure in 1993.
I was trying to make it as a widower the best I could when I was reintroduced to a lady whom I dated while we were in high school. I drove to Mt. Vernon to date Martha Edwards, who attended Mt. Vernon High School. Only a few dates later, we each went our way. Now, we found we were both widowed. Our lives had come full-circle. In time, we found love for one another then later married in 1994, but it all became to be so short lived. I lost her in an auto accident in 1999.
Without God's love and confort, I would not have been able to handle all the pain in my life. I am still alone, on my country homeplace nine miles SE of Mt. Vernon, but I praise Him every day for what I have left. I have thirteen grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
