Texas Pioneer Dies At Home In This City

Lewis Dale was born at Clarksville and Had Lived Here 31 Years

Lewis Dale, 72 years, 8 months and 18 days old, died at
his home, 303 East Anthony street at 8:40 p.m. Sunday
after a several days illness.
Funeral services were held from his late home Monday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by Dr. E. B. Fincher,
pastor of the Presbyterian church, assisted by the Rev.
A. J. Seale, pastor of the North McKinney Baptist church.
Interment was in Pecan Grove cemetery.
Mr. Dale was a native of Texas. He was born at Clarksville
Red River county, where he lived many years and then
came to Collin county, having lived in and near McKinney
for that length of time.
During the Civil war he served the Southern Confederacy as
a courier under Gen. McCullough. His service was 
principally in the Gainesville, Clarksville and Paris sections.
He was too young to enter the army but ably and
efficiently performed the duty of a courier, a very important
and hard place to fill.
He is survived by his widow and eight children, as follows:
James Dale at home; Mrs. Effie Stiff, Mrs. Pearl Rollins, McKinney;
Mrs. Irene Jones of Sherman; Mrs. Katherine Brown, McKinney;
Robert Charles and Web Dale, who live at the family home
in this city.
He is also survived by one sister Mrs. Mollie Cotner, of Nevada.
He was a member of the Presbyterian church, his membership
being held with the Lavon church.
He had a large number of friends here who mourn his passing.
