  Notes	Obituary, copied from FindAGrave memorial created by Ruth M. Brown: Horace Burnard "H.B." Halbert Jr., M.D., 77, of Round Rock, passed away Friday, March 11, 2011, at the scene of a one-car collision near Jewett, Texas. A celebration of H.B.'s life will be 10 a.m. Thursday, March 17, at Central Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Texas. Dr. Halbert was born in Frankston, Texas, to the late H.B. Halbert Sr. and Mattie Petri Halbert. After H.B.'s graduation from Frankston High School in 1950, an athletic scholarship led him to Schreiner College in Kerrville. Then his appointment to the United States Military Academy took him to West Point, N.Y. Deciding to pursue a medical degree, H.B. transferred to the University of Texas at Austin to complete his undergraduate studies. He graduated from UT Southwestern Medical School, and took his internship and residency at Methodist and Parkland Hospitals. His medical specialization was Family Practice. He spent the next 48 years pursuing his lifelong passion. For over 30 years, Dr. Halbert served the community of Rosebud, Texas, providing care from cradle to grave at the facilities he established, Halbert Clinic, Halbert Hospital, and Heritage House Nursing Home. It is estimated that during this time, he delivered about 3,000 babies. Patients of this era will remember his standard wardrobe: green scrubs, red socks. After leaving Rosebud, Dr. Halbert practiced in Whitney, Burkburnett, Frankston, Huntsville, Sealy, and Pasadena. Highly competitive, H.B. took pleasure in many sports and games. Although an avid fan of the Longhorns and the Cowboys, he always held a keen interest in high school football as well. H.B. was deeply honored when Rosebud-Lott asked him to return as team doctor for their state championship game in 2002, which the Cougars won. An enthusiastic hunter, he typically had a bird dog. Anyone who played bridge or "42" with him soon learned that he could count cards and see through dominoes. H.B. was preceded in death by his brothers, Eddie Halbert and Gaylon Halbert; and sisters, Irene Tatum, Virginia Saunders, and Jean Baron. He is survived by his wife, DeAnn Halbert, of Round Rock; children, Leslie Higgins and Laura Halbert, of Austin, Robin Polk, of Rosebud, Adrianne Charfoos, of Chicago, Ill., Richard Halbert and Elizabeth Thigpen, of Chilton, Kristen Ryder, of Oakwood, and Will Halbert and Kirill Halbert, of Trinity; eight grandchildren; sister, Lynne Orr, of Jacksonville; and scores of nieces and nephews.
