‘Tis with a sad heart and feeling of regret that we this week chronicle the death of Clarence E. Folsom, son of Mrs. John W. Fogelman, who was one of Tuscumbia's most promising young men, and whose sickness we mentioned last week.
A week ago last Sunday Clarence had a tooth pulled and went skating. His face began to swell and erysipelas set in causing blood poison and his lungs also became affected by the cold he had taken and pneumonia set in. It seemed beyond medical skill to give him relief and at 9 p.m. on Monday he departed this life.
Deceased was the only living son of T.A. and A.P. Folsom, having had three brothers or sisters to go before him.
The funeral was preached at the Presbyterian Church by Rev. L.S. Garrett, of Aurora Springs, on Wednesday at 2 p.m., who selected as his text the thirty-second verse of the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew. From the church the remains were conveyed to the city cemetery for interment followed by a vast concourse of relatives and friends.
The pall bearers were John W. Adcock, Edward Kallenbach, Willie Earp, Chas. Thompson, Wm. M. Cummings and A.B. Breen who were his most intimate friends in life.
We extend our heart-felt sympathy to the mother and other relatives in this their sad bereavement.
