The Teague Chronicle Aug. 2, 1918 In Memoriam Elmore, son of Otis G. and Rena King of Kirvin died at 10:30 pm Sat. July 6, age 15 months and 23 days. Death was caused by the baby pulling a pan of water mixed with concentrated lye from the cook stove into his face. Becoming strangled he got enough of the mixture into his lungs and stomach to produce death. He was rushed to Dr. Traynhams home at Cotton Gin where treatment and all that medicine and loving relatives and friends could do was in vain. Thirty hours after the accident the death angel came peacefully and wafted the poor white soul back to the God who gave it. On Sunday morning the dear little body was placed in a beautiful white casket and born to the home of his grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. John King where it rested in state until 4:30 pm when the motor hearse from Wortham headed the long procession of sorrowing relatives and friends and wended its way to the Shanks cemetery. There Bro. Hays of Kirvin conducted the ceremony in a very beautiful and impressive manner. The little mound was covered with rare flowers, crosses, crescents, anchors and wreaths fresh from Corsicana Florist. The cold and relentless the hand in cruel death swung its scythe in the garden of life and like a young rose just blooming into its purity and beauty cut down the darling boy in his young and promising infancy leaving the mother and father to weep over the newest and dearest to them in life. Their boy asleep in the icy arms of his destroyer death in that house not made with hands where theres no more death neither sorrow nor sighing. He awaits your coming another hand is beckoning us. Another call is given and graced once more angels steps the path which leads to heaven. Oh, Elmore, darling of our hearts, look down on us from heaven and smile and ask God to save a crown for us and well be with you after a while. One who loved him
