LANDERS, died at the home of his father in this city [Heflin, Cleburne co., AL] Monday evening [12 Nov 1900] about 8 o’clock, after an illness of only a few hours. Dr. SIMPSON, the attending physician, states that a blood vessel bursting in his head was the cause of his death. Grady complained at noon that he had fallen and hurt himself but it was thought only slightly and he went to school in the afternoon. Returning home from school he played around the yard for some time and then went into the lot behind the house where he was found soon after in an unconscious condition. Dr. SIMPSON was hurriedly called but all efforts to restore consciousness proved futile, and in a few hours death ensued. His remains were carried to Corinth Church, in Randolph county, and laid to rest beside his mother and sister who preceded him to the grave only a few years. A large number of people attended the burial, attesting their love for the little boy, and to speak words of comfort to the bereaved ones. ------------------- Card of Thanks ------------------- We take this method of thanking the people of Heflin for their kindness during the sickness and death of Grady LANDERS and also for the many kind expressions of sympathy given us in that dark hour. May the kind influence of an ever kind Father for many years stay the cruel hand of death when it would invade their home to take a loved one. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. LANDERS [Both from the Cleburne New Era (Heflin, Cleburne County, Alabama), 17 Nov 1900, p.3]
