Tribune Alex, Oklahoma Friday, April 19, 1935 November 23, 1913 ~ April 17, 1935 Clifford Horne Passes On Early Wednesday - Clifford Horne, 21, passed on Wednesday morning at five o'clock after a few days illness with pneumonia. He became ill Friday evening at the home of N. C. Drennan, a brother-in-law, and succumbed there after a valiant battle with the dread disease. James Clifford Horn was born in "Coffman" county, Texas, November 23, 1913, and came to Alex with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Horne, in 1916, living here along since that time and attending the Alex schools. On September 17, 1934, he was married to Miss Mae Dixon, and the young couple engaged in farming, living on a farm two miles north of town. Funeral services at the Missionary Baptist church Thursday afternoon, and interment in the Morris cemetery. © Alex Tribune Alex, Oklahoma Friday, May 3, 1935 November 23, 1913 ~ April 17, 1935 A benignant king asked of a grand old patriarch, "how old art thou?" And Jacob, who had served his God and had talked to him face to face, answered: "The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years." When the aged die we feel we have lost a guiding hand, and the good counsel on whose wisdom and judgment we could rely. Their presence seems essential, but when one of the tender years passes away, when their light is so unexpedly extinguished, we are left stunned, and in our erring judgment feel that a life of usefulness has been cut down. We miss the light of their smile; the helpful words of courageous youth; even the sound of the buoyant footsteps, and we know though it is hard to believe, that "God doeth all things well." James Clifford Horne, son of W. D., and Katie [Dumas] Horne, was born November 23, 1913, in Kaufman county, Texas, and came to Alex with his parents in 1916. In July 1928, he was converted and was baptized by M. B. Hubbard, pastor of the Missionary Baptist church of Alex. He was married Sept. 17, 1934, to Miss May Dixon. He contracted pneumonia, and on April 17 the dread malady proved fatal, and "his spirit returned to God Who gave it." while a sad bereaved wife and parents, three brothers, Maurice, W. D., and Carthin, and two sisters, Mrs. Oma Lindley and Mrs. Myrtle Wallace of Alex, all of Alex, and many friends and relatives are left to grieve, but not as they who have no hope. May we all look away from the death that separates; change our tears of grief for the smile of joyous anticipation when we shall meet in that glorious reunion in the "House not made with hands," where Death never comes and where tears are unknown; "for God shall wife all tears from our eyes." Funeral services were conducted by Rev. G. C. Hill, who officiated at their marriage. The pallbearers were six young men who were his associates: Homer Cruse, Reford Foster, Clifford Foster, James Hill, William Armstrong and William Holder. He was laid to rest in Morris cemetery to await the time when this mortal shall put on Immortality. -- Mrs. R. A. Foster |
