William “Wolf” Magness, 70, of Center, passed away Sunday, October 21, 2018, in Shreveport.

Visitation will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, October 23, 2018, at Watson & Sons Funeral Home in Center.  Funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 24, 2018, at Watson & Sons Chapel with Bro. Keith Rose to officiate.  Interment will follow at Weaver Cemetery in the Weaver Community of Shelby County.  

William “Wolf” Magness was born in Center, Texas, on January 26, 1948, to Fred and Inez Magness. He was raised in Timpson, Texas, where he graduated from high school in 1966. In 1979, he married Ann Crawford Magness. He worked as a drywall finish contractor. His hobbies included reading and gardening.  Always planting a very large garden, he generously shared his produce with his family and friends.  If you really knew him, you knew the nuances of his personality that really made him who he was. He could tell a joke in such a way you knew he wouldn’t mess up the punchline. He’d start telling you something and have you going for a while before you realized he was just pulling your leg. Even in his sickest final days in the hospital, he still picked with the nurses and staff and his sense of humor shone through his pain. Whatever name you knew him by, and he seemed to go by many—Wolf, Freddy or Bill—you knew he was a good man with a great sense of humor. He could carry on a conversation with just about anybody, and he was a good storyteller. He loved spending time with his family, especially his grandson, Jacob (who he called Bullet), who he loved to take on rides in the pasture to set and check hog traps.

He is survived by
Wife: Ann Magness of Center

Daughter: Karen Moss and husband, Eric, of Center

His deep voice was a calm and comforting sound to all who knew and loved him. Pa Dale was a kind and caring man who knew what it was like to fight tough battles in life but to fight them with strength and humility. He took pride in being a devoted father, a loving husband, a loyal brother and a doting Pa Dale.

James Linton Crouch, 68, of San Augustine, Texas passed away unexpectedly Thursday, September 27, 2018. James was born March 22, 1950 in Dallas, Texas to James Nelson Crouch and Bonita Faye Williams Crouch.

James graduated from Silsbee High School and East Texas Baptist College and graduated from seminary at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. He spent his life loving others and teaching them about Christ.

James married Lisa Wade on February 14, 1983 in Houston, Texas. They had three children, Anjuli Belle Crouch, Charles Nelson Crouch and William James Crouch. He is also survived by his two sisters, Jean Smith and Bonita Mackey and niece Rhonda Martin and nephews Kenneth Smith and Bryan Venerable.

He loved being part of the San Augustine community and loved making people laugh. He taught the lessons of God to his children and loved them beyond measure. His wife was the love of his life.
