Lonie Cheatham

In Memoriam
Died, at Buffalo Gap, Thursday, 23 February 1897, Lonie, second son of
W.C. Cheatham, aged 14 years, 10 months, 11 days, after an illness of
only 36 hours, of lock jaw, caused from sticking a nail in his foot
nine days before. Many of the school children of Abilene will remember
Lonie, or ÒFessÓ as he was sometimes called. Several years of his short
bright life was spent with them. Many and true were the friends he made
wherever he lived Ð being of a quiet, kind and impartial disposition
made his school mates love him; being ambitious, studious and obedient
caused all his teachers to admire and respect him. It was hard, so hard,
to give him up just as he was almost a young man Ð but God knoweth the
best and will always do what is best for his children.
