THOMAS McCAULEY MONROE.
In Memorium.

Thomas lMcCauley Monroe, young
est child OF Mr.. and Mrs. j. Monroe,
died Feb. 22, at Winters, Texas He
was born Dec. 80, 1904, and had just
passed the age OF sixteen years The
mortal remains were laid to rest In
the Snyder cemetery, Feb. "a, in the
presence OF one OF the largest con-
gregations ever assembled in Snyder.
Death was caused from an attack of
typhoid fever, which struck down its
victim with a suddenness that was a
great surprise to those in Snyder
who watched and waited hourly for
news of his condition. The sad word
was received by phone at an early
hour Tuesday morning, Feb 22, fol-
lowing reports the previous day that
his condition was much improved;
and a number of friends OF the fam
lily, and those who had known Thorn
as front infancy, left on the after
noon train to accompany the remains
back home. Funeral services were
conducted at the Christian church by
the pastor. Rev. Clyde Lee Fife, as
sisted by Rev. c. G. Wright, pastor
of the Presbyterian church, and Rev.
j. II. Hicks, pastor of the Methodist
church, hundreds being unable to Sc
cure seats. The pail bearers were
from among his boy friends and class
mates, among whom he had always
been a favorite The casket was COW
cred beneath a mound OF floral Of
ferings.
His sun set a few brief years after
rising in accordance with the divine
will. He nor his friends could not
prevent it, though he made a gallant
fight for life and his loved ones kept
sleepless vigil at his bedside, and
while the going down OF the sun OF
his life has left the way very dark
to many, yet they are assured that
in the morn of the resurrection that
there will be a more glorious sunrise,
one that will never be darkened by
the clouds of sorrow, and while
awaiting the judgment day, the stars
that shone upon his cradle, not far
away, just over the hill from where
he was born, will keep their silent
vigil over his grave.
The greatest OF all poets, the in
spired, sweet singer OF Israel has
asked the question, "If man dies
shall he live again." To those to
whose lips this cup OF sorrow has
been most closely pressed, the an
swer to this question comes In the
life. and its influence upon the soul,
OF their loved one. Tho permitted but
a few brief years to spread the sun
shine OF a congenial nature. the
young and the old with whom he
came in contact will always feel the
influence OF his lovable disposition
and hold in sacred loving remem-
brance the voice that is forever still
ed.

Today If man makes a product that is good
enough to be proud of, he trade marks and
advertises it, that all the world may know

limit. And if a manufacturer does these
things, let the buyer be wse-let him look for
