Lake Odessa Wave, 23 Jul 1908

Clayton McTaggart, son of Mrs. Si?? Hummell, died at his home in this place at 
an early hour Tuesday morning after an illness of several months from 
tuberculosis.  He was fifteen years of age and the larger part of his life has 
been spent in Lake Odessa.

He was an exemplary young man, bright in his school work, free from bad habits 
and a general favorite among his companions.  About a year ago he began as 
apprentice in The Times office and during the few months that he was with us we 
found him to be competent, diligent and ready to learn.  He was rather frail in 
constitution and when the dread malady attacked him he rapidly failed until he 
was finally compelled to take to his bed.

Until the last few days he had been hopeful and believed that he would get well 
although the loving watcher knew that life was fast ebbing away and that it 
would be a matter of only a short time before he would be called to rest.  The 
community sympathetic with the family in the loss of Clayton whose death so 
early an age seems untimely.

The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Congregational 
church, Rev. Prestidge officiating.
