The friends of Mr. and Mrs. R.L. Carlock will sympathize with them in the loss of their 15 year old son, whose death occurred last week in Tennessee where he was attending school. The remains reached Ft. Worth Sunday and were interred Monday. Young Carlock is said to have been an exceptionally bright and promising boy, and his death is a sad blow indeed.

AGED CITIZEN GONE.

J.D. Mickle an aged and highly respectable citizen, after months of suffering, quietly breathed his last at 5 o'clock Tuesday evening. He was in his 70th year, was a native of Virginia, member of the Baptist church and Masonic Lodge, and an ex-confederate soldier.

He was twice married and leaves a wife and 1 daughter, Mrs. T.C. Culling of Montgomery county, daughter of his first wife. Another daughter by same is dead.

After serving through the confederate war from his native state of Virginia, he was engaged in mercantile business in Memphis for several years. He came to Texas in 1885, and to this county in 1896.

Services were held at the Tabernacle Wednesday evening at 3 o'clock, after which the remains were interred in Arlington cemetery, under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge, Rev. M.C. Jackson and J.H. Martin of Euless conducted the religious services.

Thus passes away a grand, good, but quiet old father, leaving behind a memory sweet to contemplate, a life worthy to emulate.

The surviving wife, has for years been engaged in school work, both public and private, in this city, and has a large circle of friends, especially among the children.

Dewitt Harrison, a young man about 25 years old, died this morning at 6 o'clock, at the home of his sister, Mrs. Emma Goldring. Death resulted from consumption, from which he has been a sufferer for a long time. Some months ago he went to El Paso hoping to receive benefit from the air of a higher altitude, but all in vain. He returned to this city last Tuesday and died this morning. He was born and raised here and leaves many friends and relatives to mourn his early death.

Thelma, the little 16 months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Berry, died Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock of pneumonia and membranous croup, and was buried the following day in Arlington cemetery. It is nothing new for little children to die, in all ages and at all times they have died, and yet the sorrow that comes with such a death today is just as bitter at it was in the beginning. Little Thelma was a lovely child and up to a few weeks ago remarkably healthy, and many a heart besides the young parents and immediate family will be saddened by her death. She was the first and only child of Mr. and Mrs. Berry and was almost idolized by them and her death is hard to bear indeed. The Journal joins their many friends in offering sympathy to the bereaved parents.
