Honey Grove Signal, 30 Jun 1916
Even before last week's Signal had reached its readers with the statement that Felix H. Huffman was dying, that good man had crossed over the river that marks the boundary of time to rest under the shades of the glorified City.
And when Felix H. Huffman breathed his last, a life that was pure and gentle and useful closed on earth to partake of the joys prepared for the faithful and the just. No man who lives will tell you that Felix Huffman did him wrong - we doubt whether there is one who ever heard him utter an unkind word.
He was called upon to endure a triple share of afflications, but he bore all patiently and without complaint. Even when pain racked his frame he went about his work, and when disease claimed one of his lower limbs he did not despair but gave himself as best he could to honest, useful toil.
Mr. Huffman was in his 77th year and was a native of Lincoln County, Kentucky. He moved to Texas in 1876.
For many years he was a member of the Christian church. He delighted in the sanctuary of the Lord and when it was possible for him to do so he attended its services.
The funeral was conducted at the residence Friday afternoon by Rev. E. L. Moore, following which the body was given burial in Oakwood.
Surviving him are his wife, five daughters, three sons and many grandchildren.
The loss they have sustained is grievous and irreparable, but to them is left the priceless and enduring heritage of an honest, blameless life.
