     1978 OBITUARY: Rev Vernon Willard Dies at Ranch Here. The Rev Vernon Willard, 64, pastor of First United Methodist Church, Fritch, died of a heart attack at the family ranch in the Needwood Community, 11 miles east of Lutie, Wednesday, February 1. He had come there alone to see about cattle he had there. When he did not return home that evening, a daughter-in-law, Mrs Vernon C Willard of Bovina, and a family friend came to look for him and found his body, Thursday morning in a pasture where he had ridden so many times in his life. His son was with a group of farmers in Washington, DC.
     Rev Willard was born and grew up on the ranch and entered the ministry of the Methodist Church from the Aberdeen Methodist Church in the early 1940s. This was his second year as pastor of the Fritch church and he planned to retire at the end of the conference year in May. He and his wife would have returned to this area to live.
     He attended Needwood and Aberdeen schools, then studied at Clarendon Junior College and McMurry College, Abilene. Most of his 35 years as a pastor were in the Panhandle and among the churches he served were Harrah Church at Pampa, Stinnett, Miami, Mobeetie, Clarendon Circuit, Shamrock Circuit which included Aberdeen, Samnorwood and Dozier Methodist Churches, also Oklahoma Lane, St. John's Church at Plainview, Chillicothe, Happy and Darrouzett.
     Rev Willard was the son of the late Mr and Mrs Nevin Willard and a member of a family that came to the Needwood community, east of Lutie, in the early 1890s from Columbus. This was one of the pioneer families which was not only interested in developing the land, but in education of its young people as well. Rev Willard was an active community worker wherever he lived. He was married to Miss Belle Collins at Ingleside December 25, 1933. She also was a member of one of the pioneer families of the county who later moved to the Gulf Coast.
     Funeral services were conducted at First United Methodist Church at Fritch with Dr WA Appling, superintendent of the Pampa District, United Methodist Church, officiating, assisted by the Rev Lyman Wood of Pampa. Friends more than filled all available rooms of the church.
     Burial services were conducted at 4:30 pm at North Fairview Cemetery, Wellington, when friends here were joined by others from towns where he had served. Nephews were pallbearers. Survivors are his wife, Mrs Belle Willard; two sons Vernon C Willard of Bovina and James David Willard of Bakersfield, California; a daughter, Mrs Bill (Virginia) Eason of Irving; three sisters, Mrs Marjorie Roy and Mrs Tommie Judd of Amarillo and Mrs Cleo Stonecipher of Muleshoe; two brothers, Aubrey Willard of Santa Fe, NM and Elmer Willard of Quanah; 9 grandchildren, and one great grandchild. Relatives here are an aunt, Miss Willie Willard, and a cousin, Mrs CR Hankins. One daughter, Bertha Belle, preceded him in death.
