The Teague Chronicle - Dec. 13, 1918 edition

Died

The death messenger visited the home of Mr. & Mrs. Henry McWaters on May 28,
1918 and took from them their loving son, Clesson. The little darling was three
years ten months and six days old at the time of his death. Death resulted from
drinking kerosene oil. His death resulted about forty minutes after drinking
the oil. Weep not dear parents and loved ones for our loss will be his heavenly
gain.

Round a narrow little coffin friends and loved ones gathered near for within
that coffin lay the one we loved so dear, who is not dead but merely sleeping
with Jesus where we all may dwell some day.

The little one leaves to mourn for him a father, mother, four brothers and a
host of relatives and friends. His remains were laid to rest in the Union
cemetery in the presence of a large crowd of relatives and friends. Bro. Bounds
of Wortham conducted the funeral services. Sleep on sweet Clesson and take thy
rest. God called thy home, he thought it best.
