| Text | The death angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Allcock in Monett, April 12, and took away their son Walter, who for twenty years and ten months had been their joy and pride.
So far as it is known it was the dreaded disease, consumption, that carried him from earth to swell the number over there. He had been ailing for some time. Five weeks ago he took his bed and Tuesday morning, April 12, a little past midnight the summons came. Walter was a noble young man beloved by all who knew him, a dutiful son, a loving brother and a pleasant companion. Always cheerful and smiling he was a mother's comfort and a father's stay. He leaves a father, mother, three sisters, three brothers and a host of other friends and relatives to mourn the untimely death. Interment was made in the Calton Cemetery, April 12. A few words were spoken by Rev. C. A. Fly after which members of the M. W. A. lodge of which Walter was a brother took charge. While we fully realize the weight of the crushing blow which has fallen upon the family and truly sympathize with them, especially does our heart go out to the mother who has watched over him and cared for him from his babyhood. |
