Death was at 11:30 Wednesday night and was due to typhoid fever and pneumonia, the latter disease having developed Saturday. Deceased was 16 years, 4 months and 5 days old and was born and reared in the Bethel Community. He was an excellent young man with a promising future. The burial was at Cottage Hill Cemetery at 2 o’clock this afternoon following services conducted by Rev. G. E. Camster, pastor of the Weston Methodist Church. Death came after an illness of a little more than two weeks. Besides the parents, two sisters, Mrs. Helen Manes of Rall, Texas and Miss Nellie Bilderback, who is at the home of her parents; one brother, Albert Bilderback, who is also at home survives. The Record joins the friends of the family in extending sympathy. It is a great blow to have a young son cut down just as he is developing into young manhood, when there was so much of promise before him. (The Celina Record, September 23, 1926)
