Died, In this city, January IA, 1899, from
a guushot wound, accidentally inflicted
by himself, Milton Graham Atkelson, son
7 and grandson OF Mr.. and Mrs. j. A.
Graham, OF this city.
a He was no prince, nor Of a kingly race,
' He was Just q little boy; his only crown
was his unruly yellow locks, and yet how
loved he was. How sacred In the grottos
OF memory are thoughts Of him. He knew
naught OF sorrow and suffering; his life
was all play time, and care had left no
d burrows on his manly little brow.
. Milton Graham Atkeison was not quite
thirteen years old; for him life had lust
e begun, and 10 him were conferred the
Q hopes and ambitions OF q devoted family,
and yet the dread specter, death, who
recognizes no earthly tie, with one touch
/ OF his Icy hand launched the little bsrque
on the shoreless sea OF eternity,
, The morning Of Friday, January 18th,
. found Milton Graham Atkeison q happy
little fellow, enjoying the beautiful world
around him; the evening-alasl What a
y tragedy the day brought FORTH Pale and
pulssless he lay, surrounded by anxious
watchers, eager to attend his every want.
He rallied, made a brave fight for life, and
with hope the hearts OF loved ones were
inspired. On the morning Of the next
/, day he was tenderly borne to his once
happy home, now desolate. But the pass
ing of a day meant the passing Of a life
and ere the old clock had struck the hour
Of nine, the shadow OF death, which bad
followed him across the threshold, had
cast Its pail over hearts once to him &C
dear.
Friends and loving little playmste'
came with flowers and tears to pay q last
tribute to his tenantlsss clay, and on
Tuesday, January nth, at 2;SO o'clock
y after an impressive funeral sermon BY
Rev. BY. Alton, at the Methodist church
d he was laid to rest meath O mound o.
flowers, beside his mother, In beautiful
Machpeiah cemetery. We extend ouI
