Lee Dawson Passed Away
Lee Dawson, youngest son of Mrs. T. M. Douglass died at their home in this city early Tuesday morning. Lee has been troubled the past few years with asthma and went to Colorado last summer to find relief. He returned here late in the summer and had just recently taken the job as apprentice at the depot, taking the place made vacant by his brother Tommie going out as an operator. Monday of last week Lee was taken with the influenza, which complicated with his trouble of astham was too much for him to withstand and he passed away after just a week's sickness.
Lee was "a dandy good kid", has been the remark made several times, and he was taking ahold of the work at the depot with a vim to want to learn the duties and learn them well. He was a boy that wore a "smile that never came off", and his nature was of the smiling kind--pleasant and kind, friendly, jolly, a neat and nice appearing young man, and one that everybody liked.
Lee Dawson was born in the Section neighborhood near Lebo on May 12, 1902 and was in his 17th at the time of his death. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon with short service at the cemetery, Rev. Stonebraker of the Baptist church officiating. He leaves his mother, father, brother Tommie and step-father and a host of friends to mourn his loss, and they have the sympathy of the community in which the Star joins.
