Lee Thedford is Dead

This Friday 2 a.m Lee Thedford, a prominent citizen of Chandler, 
died at his home after an illness of nearly two weeks caused by 
pneumonia.  The deceased was a good citizen, a kind husband and 
a devoted father.  He was well and favorably known by the business 
men in Tyler and by many of its citizens.  His death will be 
deeply regretted by friends and acquaintances, and all these 
people sincerly sympathize with the wife and children who are left 
to mourn their loss of husband and father.  The deceased was about 
45 years of age and had been a farmer and merchant for about 15 
years.  Rev. C. J. Youngblood of Lindale, passed Tyler today on 
his way to Chandler where he is to conduct the funeral services 
at 5 o'clock this afternoon.
