Water system earns state approval for Gladewater
Mayor C G Johnston received a Texas State Department of Health letter affirming Gladewater’s water supply holds a State Approved Water Supply status. A July 11 1972 sanitary survey by Kenneth Wheeler and Roy Perryman found the system excels in production storage and distribution and warrants continuation of the status. Virginia Lee Weathers 75 died Wednesday after a lengthy illness in Gladewater. Funeral services were held Saturday at Malcolm Stone Funeral Chapel with burial in Memorial Park. She lived at 214 Hull St and is survived by a sister Mrs Louise Custer and several nieces and nephews.
