Burial of Robert Webb.
Minden, April 12.-The burial here Sunday afternoon of the
remains of Robert B. Webb,
only son of Junius Y.Webb, and wife, Lena Bridger Webb, of Dallas,
Texas, who died on Sautrday (sic) morning last at Austin, Texas, where
he was just completing the last few weeks of his collegiate course,
was the cause of a great deal of sorrow and aroused a sympathy most
profound in the hearts of Minden's citizens here, where the family is
so well known, respected and loved.
Handsome, intelligent, loyal to truth, duty and uncompromising
in his defense of right, Robert was the embodiment of a pure, well
developed manhood, who amid changes of scene and association
maintained unsullied the beautiful character developed at home by a
fond father and mother, and the sweet association with a loved and
only sister.

Death of "Baby John."
Early this morning, just as the bright sun was coming over the
horizon, the angel of Death
visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe W. Everette and stole from their
loving embrace the baby form of little John William, their infant son,
who for nine fleeting months, like a golden sunbeam, brought rays of
brightness into their lives, his gentle cooing and baby smiles filling
their hearts with joy and happiness.
But God, merciful and tender, only lent the little sunbeam
which He gathered up and this morning the glory of Heaven dawned with
its dazzling brightness strengthened by the cherished sunbeam from the
home of fond and devoted parents. Grieve not for Baby; he is only
lighting the way to realms beyond, where all is glorious and
beautiful, where sickness and sorrow, pain and death will come no
more, and while tears are shed over the little casket and hearts are
aching with grief, loved ones should know that
"The little light is shining-shining on;
That God is gathering up the sunbeams
For the glory of His throne,
And will myriad them in brightness
As a golden wealth of Heaven-
His own."
The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock,
awaiting the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Z.L. Everette of Eros, the
grandparents, who cannot reach Monroe before tonight. To Mr. and Mrs.
Everette, the News-Star offers the warmest and sincerest sympathy.

Sweetly Sleeping
This morning at 9:30 the remains of sweet little John William
Everett were laid to rest in
the city cemetery, neath a wealth of beautiful flowers. Services were
held at the home by Rev. J.U.H. Wharton, who read comforting words
from Scripture to ease the aching hearts of the devoted parents, and
to them he gave the comforting assurance that God, in His unbounded
love, made no mistakes, but was ever merciful and loveth those whom He
chasteneth.
The little mound was tiny, but upon it was spread a fragrant
coverlet of the beautiful flowers of Spring and the little spirit has
left the casket and is safe in the arms of Jesus.
The pall bearers were Messrs. O.B. Morton, Clarence Faulk,
Charles Schultz and J.P. Parker, Jr.

Frances Elizabeth Strong.
Frances Elizabeth, the beautiful little twenty-two months old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed
Strong; died this morning at 9 o'clock, after a brief illness, with
measles, which gave no indications of seriousness until last evening,
when bronchitis developed , and almost without warning carried off the
little darling.
An only daughter, a little sister among five brothers, she was
idolized by parents and brothers alike. A child of beauty, in her
young life she has frequently captured prizes in beauty contests, her
rich brunette type and baby ways winning votes of admiration, which
crowned the beauty of the groups.
Little Elizabeth was the beautiful infant daughter of Mr. Ed
Strong, cashier of the Southern Express Company, and to both father
and mother, as to little brothers, The News-Star offers its warmest
sympathies, for their hearts are torn and bleeding, but God and his
love is the solace for all griefs.
Little Elizabeth is the guiding star-a tiny beacon light to
throw out the rays of brightness to lead you home, so grieve not, the
twinkling star is even now glittering in the Royal Diadem, to shine on
until joined by loved ones of earth.
The funeral will take place tomorrow at 10 a.m., from the
residence on South Third Street. Interment will be in the City
cemetery.
