Alabama Carroll Wingfield is buried in the Mexia City Cemetary, Limestone County. Drury Lacy Wingfield's date of death is unknown (to me). Still alive in 1880 census. His tombstone - if there ever was one - has not been recorded in either Freestone County or Limestone County. A Mrs. Morrow did an extensive search of EVERY cemetary in Freestone County some 15-20 years ago and did not find Drury. I persoanlly have copies every tombstone in the Woodland Cemetary and if he is buried there it is not marked. Sorry for the bad news.

The Teague Chronicle Mar. 1, 1918 In memory of Marvin Webb On the night of Feb. 18 at the hour of 7:30 the angel of death entered the home of Walton and Vada Webb of Freestone, Texas and carried away their little son, Marvin leaving behind the sorrow and their hearts broken with grief but transplanted the little flower in the garden of paradise there to bloom on until we all meet in the home of the soul. Had the little one lived till June he would have been 5 years old. Tho his time seemed short to us his little mission on earth was fulfilled. Now while we are oh so lonely weep not dear parents for he is resting in the arms of Jesus. Dear little Marvin was ill three weeks. Everything that loving hands could do was done but the little heart grew weaker till his little light went out on earth only to shine the brighter in heaven. Besides his weeping parents and one little brother and one little sister he leaves many relatives to mourn for him. But Christ said, suffer little children to come unto me for is such is the kingdom of heaven. The little body was laid to rest in the Union Cemetery. Bro. J.L. Walker conducted the funeral services. Now parents take your eyes off that little grave and raise them up to heaven and there look at your darling in the arms of Jesus and repeat 3 times with me the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away and blessed is the way of the Lord. Marvins grandma Jolly

The Teague Chronicle Feb. 22, 1918 In memory of Sidney Thompson Sidney is gone, how sad. Can I write it down and restrain teardrops from falling? We are sad indeed because our home has been visited by the only reaper that humanity cant lay hands on and say stop you must not. Could we have stayed this reaper our home would not be sad we would have no vacant chair at our fireside or a vacant place at our table or listen in vain for his footsteps we never more will hear, nor wish for a glimpse of a form all loved so dear for he is to be taken from us soon so soon. He was given to this home Jan 7, 1897 and at 11:30 p.m. Feb. 2, 1918 the angel of death kissed his eyelids together and then in silence took the spirit of the one we loved so well. It was hard to stand by and see the life of one so young taken away. We are so powerless we did all that lay in our power to keep him but helpless we were. How little could we do when the death angel was hovering about his bed. We loved him and wished him to stay but its all in vain. Though we realize he is gone from us we cant understand why Sidney was torn from us. He was so noble, so true. No one possessed a more gentle spirit always ready to help the unfortunate ones and lend a helping hand to one in need. None know him but to love him but his work is not over. He only laid it down for someone else to take hold and carry his good work on. But he is gone and we are left to grieve and pine for him. Weep not dear loved ones. If he could only speak to us in our grief, he would say grieve not. I am at rest and I will watch and wait for you my loved ones. Then when you too have paid the debt I have paid we will all be united once. There will be no more sorrow, sickness or suffering. Here everlasting spring abides and never fading flowers. Death like a narrow seed divides a earthly land from ours. Sidney is surveyed by his father, five brothers and a sister besides many other relatives and friends. One who loved him
