RALPH MCCLELAND
Natchitoches Times   Dec 13 ,1912

A sad death indeed was that of Ralph Donald McCleland, little son of Mr. I.M.
McCleland.

The little one was only two months and sixteen days old. His mother had been
dead a little over two months.

The precious one was laid to rest int he Cane River grave yard beside its
mother.

"Tis hard to break the tender cord"
"When love has hound the hearts"
"Tis hard, so hard to speak the words"
"We must forever part"

Dearest loved one we must lay thee 
In the peaceful grave's embrace
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
