Decatur County Journal Leon, Iowa November 16, 1911 CLARENCE ALBERT PRICE, youngest son of Mr. And Mrs. IRA F. PRICE, was born January 22, 1902, and died of diphtheria November 3, 1911, being at the time of his death 9 years, 9 months and 11 days old. On November 4, the beloved body was tenderly laid to rest in the Van Wert Cemetery. CLAIRE, as he was familiarly called, had lived all his life with his parents on their farm in Franklin Township, Decatur County, Iowa, where death occurred. He was an exceptionally bright, manly boy and in him rested the fondest hopes of all who knew him best. The sorrow caused by his death is very profound in the hearts of all his school mates and young friends. The father, mother, brother and sister who remain are bearing this the heaviest burden ever laid upon humanity with Christian fortitude, believing as they do that By and by when all life's lessons Have been learned, When sun and stars forever more Have set. The things which our weak judge- ment here have spurned, The things over which we grieved With lashes wet. Will flash before us all of life's Dark night, As stars show best in deepest tints Of blue. And we shall see how all God's Plans are right, And how what seemed proof was Love most true. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert December 4, 2009 [email protected]
