LAMKIN, Clement Dickinson 1926 - 1930

Baby Dies From Accident - Four Year Old Son of Uel Lamkin Meets Death - Clement 
Dickinson Lamkin, four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Uel Lamkin, was happily at 
play Monday with a small tin whistle in his mouth, at Maryville, when he fell and 
the whistle penetrated the inside of his throat and the child slowly bled to death. 
Physicians and the parents were helpless to stop the hemorrhage. "Little Dick" 
was born September 29, 1926. He had always been a happy, healthy child, full of 
life and play, occupying a warm place in the hearts of all. He came into the 
Lamkin home just two weeks before his 16 year old brother, Billy, died with 
hemorrhage. His baby smiles and loving little hands made it possible for his 
parents to stand the lass of their older boy. Mr. Lamkin is president of Missouri 
State Teachers College at Maryville and his wife was Miss Mary C. Dickinson 
before her marriage. It is difficult to see why this little child, surrounded by 
love and every opportunity to become a worth while citizen, should be taken, but 
it is not given to us to know these things. Little Dick will experience none of 
life's bitterness that needs come with the joy. He and little Billy are with the 
angels. The parents brought the little body to Clinton Wednesday morning at 10 
o'clock to the home of his maternal grandparents, Hon. and Mrs. C. C. Dickinson on 
South Second street. It was then taken to Englewood and laid beside the elder 
brother. A prayer service was conducted by Dr. Howie.
