Obituary
Erleen, the three and one half year old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. J.L. Creech of Lewisville, died at the home of her grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. T.P. Eddins, Tuesday afternoon. The funeral was held Wednesday at the home and conducted by Rev. G.W. Sanders, assisted by Rev. W.S. Dabney. The remains were taken to Oaklawn Cemetery and buried beside another baby which was taken from them only eight weeks ago. This makes their loss doubly hard in that they have had to give up both babies so near together. About ten days ago, Erleen had started to the pasture with her uncle, Thad, Jr. but before going very far fell and stuck a long splinter in her knee. It was gotten out immediately and seemed to heal, but several days ago tetanus developed and she lived only a short while. No words can lighten the blow that the loved ones have had sustained in this crushing sorrow. The yielding of these two babies to the courts of Heaven must and will leave to them a grief that is heartbreaking and they will feel so empty handed, but the little buds that blossomed so beautifully around them here are in that land where flowers never die. It is only the grace of Him who ever cares for His own that can comfort therm in their loss. The following from out of town were here to attend the funeral: Mr.& Mrs. D.W. Click and Mr.& Mrs. James Rudd of Paris, Mr. & Mrs. Bob Jones, Mr.& Mrs. E.L. Creech, Mrs. Floyd Woods and Arthur Creech of Ennis, Mrs. L.M. Murrah of Ft.Worth, Mrs. Johnnie Barnes of Dallas and Mr. & Mrs. Walter Creech of Arlington.
