Mary Ethel Lewellen, daughter of Candy and Faunine E. Lewellen was born April 30, 1887 and died April 18, 1899, age 11 years, 11 months 18 days. She was burned about two weeks ago. The burn was not fatal but blood poison set in and hurried her away. She was greatly attached, not only to her parents but to her teah and school mates also. She was greatly interested in her studies and was much like a little woman. The funeral was preached at the Baptist Church. Interment in Alamo cemetery. Ethel was a sweet little girl, how she will be missed in the home and by her school mates. Dearest Ethel thou hast left us, Here thy loss we deeply feel, but ‘tis God who hath bereft us, He can all our own sorrows heal - kbz

Mary Ethel Lewellen, daughter of Candy and Fanny Lewellen, was born April 30, 1887 and died April 18, 1899, aged 11 years, 11 months and 18 days. She was burned about a week ago, though the burn was not necessarily fatal, but blood poison set in and hurried her away. She was greatly attached not only to her parents, but to her teacher and associates. In school she was greatly interested in her studies and was much like a little woman in her ways. She will be greatly missed in the home and by her schoolmates in school. Our hearts are sad but we hope to meet her in the sweet by and by. – thanks to S for this one
