Jackson Argus – Week of June 18, 1897
Little Clayton Buttrill Smith

Little Clayton Buttrill, the sweet little five months’ of age baby of Mr. and 
Mrs. E. L. Smith died at 10 o’clock a.m. last Wednesday.

The little fellow was an unusually promising child.  Up to the time of its 
recent illness its growth was rapid and health as good spirits beamed through 
its eyes and its countenance and to all appearances it seemed that the child 
was one in who them parents’ hopes for the future might be well grounded.

With these bright cheeks and smiles, which always conjure up the rosiest of 
fancies, it is indeed hard to associate the idea of suffering and death.   Yet 
the one has followed the other, and the home which was full of sweet peace and 
happiness only a short while ago is now darkened by sorrow and grief.

It is God’s will.

Before his little feet had responded to the call of man, before his mind had 
caught the taint of sin with its train of heartaches, little Clayton Buttrill 
Smith has been carried hence.  From the battlements of the Eternal City may his 
beckoning hands be seen and heeded by the parents who loved him so well and 
yielded him into the arms of the master who even now is saying, “Suffer little 
children to come unto Me”.
