Little Mary, daughter of W. H. Inman, died at the home of its grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Sapp, July 9th, after being dangerously ill for nine weeks. In spite of all that kind hands could do, the reaper came and little Mary's spirit was wafted to its home in Heaven.

O not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day.
'Twas an angel visited the
green earth,
And took the flower away.

We gave in tears and pain, the
flower we most did love;
We knew we would find it
in the fields of light above.
written by its aunt, Lonie Sapp
(sometime between 1908-1917)

Excerpts from The Port Arthur News

. . . Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Booth all smiles today, too, over their first grandchild, Grace Elizabeth Bernhardt, who was born Sunday at St. Mary's hospital to Mr. and Mrs. Howard Bernhardt -Mom's the former Martha Booth. The newcomer weighed in at six pounds, five ounces and is also the grandson of Mrs. Julius Bernhardt. . .

February 5, 1955

. . . Say happy birthday to Major Inman, it's his 66th - Major's auto agency is only seven blocks from where he was born (200 block of Fourth St.). . .

Aug. 1, 1968

Still retaining much of its former beauty is the two-story dwelling of 949 Lakeshore drive with its stately columns and grandeur of bygone days. Built by B. Sachs, a Port Arthur merchant and later purchased by Mrs. Sallie Inman, the home was moved from Procter to Lakeshore around 1935.

Mrs. Inman Had Hotel For many years Mrs. Inman operated the Lakeview hotel, which was located at Procter street and Waco avenue, where Bluestein's now stands. Mrs. Inman moved to Port Arthur in 1902.

Mrs. Edwin Booth of 4449 Alamosa avenue, the former Grace Inman, and her sister, Mrs. Ruth Inman Parr of York Manor, still reside in Port Arthur. Their brother, Major Inman, Chevrolet dealer, lives in Orange. Another brother, Philip, died a number of years ago. Another brother, William, also died.

Inman ran Lakeview dining ...

    The arrival in heaven of Mrs. John R. Adams caused Port Arthur to lose one of its greatest historians. She pioneered here and lived here until her demise July 1, 1965. She was known as "The First Lady of Port Arthur." She was Port Arthur's "First Grand Dame."
    I decided to write about the Old Lakeview Hotel, known as the "Honeymooner's Hotel" that stood on the south side of Procter Street at the corner of Waco Avenue where Bluestein's Department Store stood.
    So I consulted a true composition that I wrote about Mrs. Adams when she was living and quoted many interesting things to me about Port Arthur. Mrs. Inman ran the Lakeview Hotel where all of the young brides, newly arrived here, stayed with their grooms.
    Mrs. Inman ran a fine dining room where for fifty cents a big, delicious, home-cooked meal could be eaten. Mamma was one of the young brides along with Mrs. "Dick" Flanagan and Mrs. Pat Reed, Dr. Reed's wife.
    In later years, Mrs. Inman's son, Phillip Inman owned the Chevrolet automobile agency on Procter Street right next door to the old Linn Ford Motor Company. Mrs. Inman's husband who had a false leather hand, ran a small grocery store on the north side of Procter Street in the three hundred block that was kept so clean that you could eat off of the wide boards of the floor.
    I remember how he used to open the back doors. Customers came in through the alley as well as through the front door. And, the cool lake breeze blew right on through. He kept the alley swept clean, too. The sun shown in, too.
    Yes, the brides stayed at the Lakeview Hotel. They didn't stay at the more expensive Plaza hotel. It was the Lakeview until the newlyweds could get their feet on the ground and either build or find a house to live in.
    Mrs. Adams said that "The first car in Port Arthur was owned and run by Bob Lazenby, a bachelor, who resided at the Lakeview Hotel. He rented his car out with himself as chauffer for $12. Henry Sterns had the second car here. He was the son of George Sterns who built the, now demolished, elaborate home back of the Port Arthur College." (That is all LUPA now.) "The Natatorium was built for the burned down Sabine Hotel, not the Plaza Hotel," she said.

Keith J. Abbe
December 10, 1969 - March 7, 2004

    Keith J. Abbe, age 34 died Sunday March 7, 2004. The son of Deborah (Inman) Gordon and the late Jerome Abbe Jr. was born on December 10, 1969 in Midland. Keith graduated from Bullock Creek High School in 1988; he graduated from Delta College and later graduated from Central Michigan University with a BA in History. He started his teaching career as a student teacher with the H. H. Dow High School and later taught history for E.T.C. of Midland prior to moving to Arizona to teach at the Cartwright School System for at risk student's ages 16 to 19.
    Keith was an accomplished and talented martial artist, karate instructor, practitioner and teacher of authentic ancient Okinawan weapons under the instruction of the late weapons master Matayoshi Shimpo. Keith spent nearly fifteen years of arduous training in Shorin-Ryu kratedo under the instruction of world famous master Tadashi Yamashita. Keith and fellow black-belt Kevin Lee, initially practiced together in the back yard of their local sensei, Ragnar Avery, eventually assisting in the birth and growth of Sensei Averys school, The Midland Shorin-Ryu Karate Budokan. Several years ago, Keith and Kevin opened their own Kobudo (Okinawan weapons) program. Keith loved karate and he loved teaching. He brought an uncommon enthusiasm and he imparted a sense of joy for learning and seeking knowledge to every one of his karate students, just as he did with each of his students in the school system where he taught. Keiths presence and dynamic influence will be greatly missed by all of us who taught along side with him, as well as by all of us who learned so much from him.
    Keith was also an accomplished building tradesman. He was expert at rough and finish carpentry, dry walling, ceramic tiling, and artistic renovation of both old homes and new construction. He brought the same level of artistic perception and expression to his construction and renovation jobs which he imparted to his teaching responsibilities. For a season, Keith taught and worked with Kevin, an experienced emergency physician by trade, in a successful home renovation enterprise which they administered jointly.
