Fenton.—Massie, son of T. and C. M. Fenton, died near Zavalla, Smith 
county, Texas, March 6, 1877, of diphtheritic croup, in the third year 
of his age. Massie was a lovely little boy, an idol of the family; his 
stay here was short. Death rides on every breeze and lurks in every 
flower. He is freed from care and sorrow, and gone to that world where 
sorrow never comes. Bereaved parents, grieve not; your lovely boy is 
an angel now, a tie to draw you heavenward. A. Little.
