James “Jimmy” Meinhart -Jul 25, 1954 to Aug 17, 2026 (72)

We sadly announce the passing of James “Jimmy” Meinhart, who peacefully left us on August 17, 2026, at the age of 72. The son of the late Richard and Patricia Meinhart, he was born on July 25, 1954, in Massillon, and lived the last three years in Cuero, TX near his two sons and grandsons.

After graduating from Massillon Washington High School in 1972, Jimmy proudly served four years in the U.S. Navy as an Atlantic Fleet Band percussionist. He was dispatched internationally, sometimes with only hours’ notice, for ceremonial affairs. He went on to build a successful career as a precision machinist, working many years at Stark Mold & Pattern. Jimmy’s passion for music followed him throughout his life as he faithfully performed as the drummer for Trinity Gospel Temple for over 40 years. His dedication to music and his love of aviation were passed down from his father to his children. Jimmy’s greatest joy in life was the time he shared with his family and friends. Loved by all, Jimmy was the quiet man in the room who had it all figured out.

Jimmy will be forever remembered by his sons Louie Meinhart (Alexis) and Danny Meinhart (Kyla); daughters Betsy and Emily; grandchildren Ava, Eve, Jordan, Ellison, Allison, and Parker; sisters Linda (Joe) McKim and Julie (Bill) Dewald; brother John Meinhart. Also cherishing his memory are his aunts Mary Lou Stenger and Susan Williams; his uncle Dennis Dillon; niece Lisa (Craig) Young; nephews Dillon Dewald, Steven (Mandy) Jenkins and Thomas (Sarah) Jenkins; Mary Ellen Adkins, the mother of his children and a close friend throughout his life; lifelong friends John P. Adkins and Timothy Isaacs; and many extended family members and friends.

Funeral services will be held at Divine Mercy Parish, St. Joseph Church in Massillon, with a Mass of Christian Burial on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., followed by the committal at the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman, Ohio, with Military Honors.

His family appreciates the thoughts, prayers, and support of those who knew him.

The Gobbler Trotters are inviting all young dancers — Pre‑K through 6th grade — to join this year’s Mini Trotter Camp, a high‑energy morning designed to introduce little girls to the spirit, teamwork, and excitement of Cuero’s beloved dance team.

The camp will be held on Saturday, October 3rd, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the CHS Gym. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., and walk‑ins are welcome, making it easy for families to participate. The cost is $40 per child, payable by link, cash, or check.

Every Mini Trotter will receive a camp T‑shirt and fun goodies, and families are encouraged to register by September 17th to guarantee their shirt is ready on camp day.

Mini Trotters will learn basic dance skills, practice a special routine, and spend time with the Gobbler Trotters who will guide them through the morning’s activities. It’s a perfect chance for young girls to experience the joy of dance, build confidence, and feel like part of the team.

And the best part — Mini Trotters will perform at the October 23rd home game, giving them a moment to shine under the Friday night lights.

Parents should fill out one registration form per child.  The Mini Trotter Camp is a fun, welcoming way for Cuero’s youngest dancers to step into Gobbler spirit and join the tradition.

While working at Stevens Nursing Home, she went to dietetic supervision school with her daughter. She worked as a dietary cook for about 40 years. She greatly cared about what was presented and given to the residents. She loved to help people regardless of who they were. She would share what little she had. She was a lover of animals; especially her cats, “Callie” and “Bobbie”. “Bobbie” preceded her in death, and was a cat to her, like no other.

​Snowrier was a member of Freshstart Fellowship Church in Yoakum, TX, under the leadership of Pastor Terry Brown. She continued to attend as her health permitted. Due to health reasons, she eventually moved to Austin to be with her daughter and family.

​She is survived by daughter, Carmen Williams and husband David Williams; son, Sidney Clay; 6 grandchildren, Krystle Johnson, Markelle Johnson, Bradley Williams, David Williams JR, Davin Williams, JaCameron Williams; 7 great grand kids; Fresh Start Church family, and others at The New Covenant Church.

Little Gobblers Open Their Home Slate With Heart, Gratitude, and a Community Behind Them

By Pat Trevino | Aug 30, 2025

Cuero, Tx — On Saturday morning, the Little Gobblers Football League stepped onto the turf at Gobbler Stadium for their first home game of the season, and the moment carried far more weight than a simple kickoff. It was a milestone — one built on community support, school district partnership, and the excitement of young athletes finally getting the chance to play under the same lights and on the same field they’ve grown up admiring.

The Freshman division opened the day at 8:00 a.m., launching a full slate of LGFL matchups against Wallis‑Brazos. Families filled the stands early, green shirts and proud smiles scattered across the stadium as players took the field with a mix of nerves, energy, and unmistakable Cuero pride.

This home opener wasn’t just another date on the schedule. It was made possible through the support of Cuero ISD Administration and Athletic Director, whose decision to welcome the Little Gobblers into Gobbler Stadium gave these young athletes an opportunity they’ll remember long after the season ends. For many of the players, it was their first time running out onto the same turf where generations of Gobblers have built tradition, grit, and championship legacy.

League board members expressed deep appreciation for the district’s partnership, noting that the gesture didn’t simply provide a venue — it provided validation. It showed these kids that their hard work matters, their effort is seen, and their dreams belong on a real football field.

Coaches echoed that sentiment, emphasizing how meaningful it was to watch their teams compete in a place that symbolizes Cuero football excellence. Parents and families, too, felt the significance. The cheers were louder, the photos more cherished, and the memories already etched into the hearts of players who will carry Saturday’s experience with them for years.

Thanks to Cuero ISD, the Little Gobblers not only have a season — they have a stage worthy of their dedication. And as the league continues through the fall, one thing is clear: community support remains the backbone of youth sports in Cuero. Saturday proved that when the town rallies behind its youngest athletes, something special happens.

The Little Gobblers are off and running, and their home stadium debut was nothing short of unforgettable.

Measles Cases Surge Across Texas, While DeWitt County Remains in the Clear

Measles Cases Surge Across Texas, While DeWitt County Remains in the Clear

By Pat Trevino | Aug 30, 2026

Texas is facing one of its most active measles years in more than a decade, with state health officials confirming 191 cases statewide as of late August. The resurgence, driven by pockets of low vaccination rates and several large outbreaks, has placed Texas among the nation’s measles hotspots in 2026.

The most significant cluster continues in Hudspeth County, where more than 130 cases have been linked to transmission inside federal detention facilities. El Paso County has reported two dozen additional cases, and smaller outbreaks have appeared in Rockwall, Harris, Montgomery, and several rural counties. Public‑health investigators say the pattern reflects a mix of imported infections and local spread in communities with lower immunization coverage.

Despite the statewide rise, DeWitt County remains measles‑free. The latest report from the Texas Department of State Health Services lists zero confirmed cases in DeWitt County for 2026. Region 8, which includes Cuero and surrounding counties, has seen only a handful of isolated cases—none of them close enough to suggest local transmission risk.

Health officials emphasize that DeWitt County’s position is strong compared to many parts of Texas. While the state continues to battle outbreaks in both urban and rural areas, DeWitt has not recorded a single case this year, and no school‑related exposures have been reported.

Still, the statewide trend has prompted renewed reminders from DSHS: measles remains one of the most contagious viruses known, and vaccination rates are the strongest predictor of community protection. With school back in session, state officials are urging families to check immunization records and ensure children are up to date.

For now, DeWitt County stands in sharp contrast to the statewide surge—a calm spot in a year of rising measles activity across Texas.
