Son of Walter Bodemann & Clara Fritz

San Antonio Light
March 27, 1909

The funeral of little Clarence Bodemann, the three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bodemann, and a grandson of City Detective A. Bodemann, occurred at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon from the hone, 1506 Palmetto street.
The little fellow asked his mother for permission to go to a neighbor's house to ask the children to make a kite for him, and his mother lifted him over the fence and saw him safely with the children. He played with the children for a while, and then asked the children's mother for a drink of water. The lady told him to come with her, and while she was getting the water little Clarence saw a cup out of which he thought the children generally drank, but which had kerosene in it, and thinking evidently that it had been placed there for him took only a swallow of the kerosene, which produced strangulation, and later resulted in hemmorrhage of the lungs. All medical aid proved of no avail.
Little Clarence was a handsome and healthy child, and a winner of one of the prizes at the International fair last fall. He was the only grandson of Mr. and Mrs. James McCormick and Mr. and Mrs. A. Bodemann.
