Letter from Arnie Hallmark to Jack & Mollie Hallmark re Jimmie's death:
"Dear Uncle Jack & Aunt Mollie:
It is not a cheerful letter that I am starting to you this evening. Upon my return home from work tonight, my wife gave me your letter. I was indeed glad to hear from you and feel sure that I am the world's poorest writer. I do feel that I must get better at it, and shall start right now, with his letter to you.
On June 1st my little Granddaddy joined his other brothers, and family, in the departed world. He felt he had completed his life to the fullest extent. The last day of May, Grandpa got up as usual, and told Uncle L.B. (his oldest son whom he was with that day) that he had completed his work on earth the night before. He spent the day visiting with various members of his family. At 5:00 pm that evening, they called my father that he should come and bring Grandpa to the hospital.
He walked out of the house and to the car, and joked with dad on the 16-mile ride to the hospital. He said he was sick, but he had felt worse many times in his life. I met them at the hospital, joked with him, and he laughed and joked back. He did not suffer. Just went to sleep and passed away in his sleep about 6 hrs after we got him there. He was always very alert, throughout his life, never lost his vision or hearing. Could read a paper as well as nayone. He was buried beside his wife in the Rose Ridge Cemetery at Cove. I might add, he was buried in a white robe, the highest honor of the Mormon Church. He had completed his temple work. He left an unended line of friends, each of who would say, he was one of the finest, most honest men they have ever known. It is a pleasure to carry the name he has so nobly inscribed into this part of the country.
He had grandchildren for pall bearers. All of his children were there, LB, Letha, Bud, Will, Glen, Mildred & Dollie. Also 22 grandchildren & 24 great grandchildren. A family he was indeed very proud of, and one in which he knew ever one, his age, his birthday, and I believe had a picture of all of them.
The rest of Grandpa's family always was in his heart. We talked of you folks so often, and many times, tried to make plans to come and see you. This evening, Aunt Letha drove in from Utah for a few days. She said to tell you she would be sure and write, as soon as she was again settled at home.
I am sending you a picture of Grandpa, that I took only a short time back. Felt sure you would enjoy it, even though it is a snapshot.
All of us here are in the best of health, enjoying another fine Oregon summer. Looking forward to the time when we may come to Texas and look all of you fine people up. I hope this letter finds its way to you and will close in saying not to mourn Grandpa's leaving. He lived a full, wonderful life, complete to the fullest extent. His family felt his job was very well done here on earth. Love to all, Arnold
