Hector C. McDade, World War Veteran, Buried Here Monday

Funeral services for Hector C. McDade, who died in the U. S. V. Hospital,
Legion, Texas, Friday morning, January 8th, were held at the Winnfield City
Cemetery Monday morning, January 11th, following the arrival of the remains
over the Rock Island railway.  The Rev. Alwin Stokes, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, assisted by the Rev. A. H. Cullen, had charge of the
services.  Members of the Everett S. Fick Post No. 9 American Legion met the
train and accompanied the remains to the Winnfield Cemetery where interment
was made.

The deceased was a World War veteran.  His health became impaired during his
services in the war and he was receiving treatment at the Veterans' hospital
at the time of his death.

The casket was draped with the United States flag.  Pallbearers were members
of the local post American Legion as follows: B. H. Williams, A. M. Hyde, A.
S. Hahn, Clayton Taylor, L. H. Smith, Fount Wright, and D. E. Sikes.

Surviving the deceased are his wife, who was too ill at her home in Texas to
attend the funeral, his mother, Mrs. M. E. McDade and one sister, Mrs. S. J.
Taylor, of Winnfield.

Friends sympathize with the aged mother the loss of her son in such a short
time from that of another son, H. D. McDade, who passed away at the Veterans'
Hospital, Alexandria, last July.
