Longtime Belton journalist and historian Berneta Peeples died Sunday at a Belton nursing home at age 103. A July 29, 2001, Telegram story described how Peeples, then 83, was named the Central Texas Workforce Area’s 2001 Outstanding Older Worker for a seven-county area and honored by the Bell County Commissioners Court. “Our 27-member board gave her a standing ovation,” said Susan Kamas, executive director for the Central Texas Workforce Development Board. Peeples began working at the Belton Journal as a “cub reporter” when she was just 13 and on and off continued her reporting duties there into her mid-90s. Her longevity drew recognition from The Dallas Morning News, which featured her in an article the Telegram picked up on Nov. 7, 2013.
