Tribute to Miss Ruth Hamon
(Tribute from Gonzales Music Club)
When Death Angel came at bright sunrise, the beginning of a "Perfect Day." Saturday, May 5, 1945 and "touched into dreamless sleep that kisses down the eyelids still, and k owns no walking" the noble, gentle spirit of our loved Ruth Hamon to join the celestial choir around Gods Throne. There was a breath taking grand crescendo notes in her pathetic "Swan Song." "Aloha Farewell To Thee": Her life, her soul was "attuned to the concord of sweet sounds." Music was her aspiration, her gifted profession, as chairman and sponsor of the very first observance of National Music Weeks in Gonzales, now over 15 years ago. President of Gonzales Music Club, organized July 11, 1929 and Director of the Junior Harmony Club, pianist and Treasurer of the UDC Chapter. The z music Appreciation Society of San Antonio, a local brilliant pianist and instructor of a large music class, and as county chairman of National and Inter-American Music Week, appointed by C. M. Tremaine of New York, Secretary, to whom printed programs were annually sent of local musical observance for the National Week's program.
She was ably assisted by the Music Study Club, the UDC and DAR chapters, the churches and county organizations. "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to the capable leadership ofbRuth Hamon much credit is due in the permanent observance of National Music Week in Gonzales.
The National Slogan this year is "Unity for the 2ar and Peace to Follow," our gifted Ruth has found that "Peace which passeth understanding' her Baby Grand pionenwhivh vibrated under her magic touch is closed and the "one note within the lute making all the music mute."
A devoted daughter, sister, aunt and loyal friend, unselfish, self-effacing , in her service of loving deeds, truly "a life to duty wed."
The special floral offering from the Gonzales Music Club for Ruth Hamon's grave was an easel bearing a large harp with golden strings entwined with white roses and ferns ( this motif was suggested by her friend and secretary) and a broad white satin ribbon with the letters GMC in gold.
It's said that "Music is the only art, given by God to man, The only art we can take to Heaven with us, and as Ruth Hamon in her life spread abroad and fostered the beautiful ideals of music, we feel assured that she is now singing Paeons of Praise with that invisible choir around Gods Throne.
