Clifford, son of the late Bunk Ledbetter and wife, died Saturday May 20, 1916, after a long and painful illness of consumption. Clifford's mother and her husband (we don't know his name) moved from Rosiclare to her little farm, near Sol Hobbs' several weeks ago, in the hope that it might benefit the boy, but if it prolonged his life any it was very little. It is said that his mother and stepfather did all they could to make his last days comfortable, and rendered him every possible aid. His grandfather, Rev. D.A. Ledbetter; accompanied the remains to Peters Creek Sunday, where they were buried. We tender sympathy to all the bereft.

Cecil expects to be called to the same place very soon. Mrs. Oxford said that while she was very glad to get a call to Kankakee because she was anxious to get employment, and the fact that she had worked there so long heretofore, it would seem like home to her; yet during her stay in E'town she had formed many acquaintances and associations of people from whom she now much regretted to seperate. She says she will carry many pleasant memories of her association with E'town and Hardin County people from here. Later Cecil received a call, Tuesday night, from the same place and will leave Thursday or Friday of this week.
