The sad news reached Anderson few
days ago that Willie Beverly Clark, eldest
son of Mr.. w. N. Clark, formerly of An
derson, had died at his home in Cleburne,
Texas, on the 18th inst. The young man
was born in Anderson, his father moving
to Texas nearly twenty years ago. The
Cleburne Chronicle, In referring to his
death, says: Monday morning at 1.3O B.
Clark breathed his last at his fathers resi-
dence, in West Cleburne. For the past
seven months he has been confined to
sick bed, and, with the exception of few
weeks, never left it until death came, not
as terror, but Us a sweet release from
wen, wasted and worn body, and eternal
happiness for the tired and weary soul.
B. was about twenty"four years OF age,
fourteen of which we're spent In 0leblrne,
He was an energetic and persevering
young man, and was admired and re.
spected by his many friends for these
qualities. Three years ago he obtained
license to practice law, and no one knows
to what height he would have climbed
the ladder of fortune and fame. BE was Q
bright student, brilliant speaker and a
logical reasoner, which qualities eminently
fitted him for his chosen profession. But
death is no respecter of persons, and thus
in the springtime of his hopes, the sum-
mons came, bidding him leave old earth
and her sorrows, and come TO the haven of
eternal rest. At the age Of twelve he pro-
tessed religion and united with the Bap.
tist Church of this city, and since that
time he has lived the consistent life of a
true and devoted Christian. On Monday
afternoon after impressive and suggestive
sermons at the Baptist Church, the re.
mains followed by large concourse of
friends of the family, were borne to the
cemetery and interrad theEe to await the
