Surnames: Sitman Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hkB.2ACE/5574 Message Board Post: Austin Daily Statesman, Tuesday October 5, 1897 Died Clarence Sitman at the Avenue Hotel at 12 noon on October 4, 1897. Remains will be interred at Rockdale, Texas today. Mr. Sitman was a native of Louisianna and was 24 years old at the time of his death. He was a cotton buyer by profession, employed for several years past by the firm of Iglehart and Company of this city. He leaves a widow, mother and two sisters who reside in this city. Parting must fall to each and all, but it is consolation when they occur to realize that the one who has gone before is worthy of the society of the best of earth who have paid the debt of nature. He was worthy of the parents who gave him birth; worthy of the wife and loving sisters, who mourn his loss and worthy of his friends and country. Gone but not forgotten. May we meet again amid fairer scenes and brighter skies, where disturbing sound or element will ever mar the harmony of rest, provided for his tired children by an all mighty and all-mighty God.
