J.A. Cowboy Is Victim of Fall
Death Resulting From Injuries Received From Falling Horse
Following closely on the death of his grandfather less than a month past, comes the accidental injuries and death of Joe Clinton Wilie on Monday morning of this week. Funeral services were held yesterday morning at 10:30 from the First Baptist Church with Rev. S.R. lMcClung in charge of the last rites. Special music by a quartette [sic] who sang, "Rounded Up in Glory" on request and by the Baptist choir was instrumental in making the funeral more impressive.
The entire force of the J.A. Ranch was in attendance on the last rites and have been with the bereaved family since the accident early Sunday. The body of the boy was held in the funeral parlors of P.A. Buntin & Son and at all times some members of the boys were present to ease the burden. Other ranchmen of the county were well represented in the church.
Joe Clinton Wilie was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Will Wilie. He was born in Clarendon on January 5th, 1906 and was carried to the J.A. Ranch at the tender age of three weeks, when his education as a cowman was started. His entire life was spent on the ranch, his early training standing him in good stead when he started to work for the ranch at the age of seventeen. For five years he worked for the ranch, stopping for a short time a few months and again resuming his work. For the past three years he has been a faithful hand, never missing a month for any reason. Death came after a horse had fallen over a rope the young man had thrown on a yearling last Sunday morning. The accident occured on the head of Cherokee Creek on the ranch, and a number of the other boys were with him at the time of the accident.
His Head was crushed and he never regained consciousness up to the time of his death Monday morning.
Surviving the deceased are his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Will Wilie of the Dr. Bagwell Camp. Two brothers, Terry and Richard Harvey and one sister, Mary are left to mourn his passing.
The Wilie family has been in Clarendon and Donley County for many years, Mr. Wilie having started for the ranch in 1899. The many friends of the family join with them in their grief and extend smypathy [sic] in this time of sororw [sic}.
Interment was had in the Odd Fellow Cemetery.
Pall Bearers were: Fayne Kent, Charles Bullock, Lloyd Bullock, Bernice Blackwell, Nash Blasingame and Guy Wright.

"The Fate of a JA Cowboy."
Composed by Mike Baird
Come kind friends and listen
And follow me as I go
I'll tell you the fate of a Cowboy
This Cowboy's name was Joe.
It was a bright April morning
When Joe rode out so gay
Rode out to do his duty,
Not thinking it was his fatal day.
This was on Sunday morning
He rode out on Trinidad
This was the Cowboy's pet horse
He surely was a thorobred [sic].
Jo Tightened up his cinches,
Uncoiled his long lasso
He spied a husky maverick
That he might rope and throw.
The Cowboy's long rope tightened
Around the big calf's head
His horse was jerked from beneath him
It crushed the Cowboy's head.
Joe is no more a Cowboy
On the range of the wide JA
But surely there will be large ranches
Where the Cowboy has gone to stay.
If there be large ranches
In the land of the Great Above
There we will find the JA Cowboy
The one whom we all loved.
When the cowboys are promoted
It is hard to stand the test
But all the cowboys have to go
When God sees that it is best.
When the cow wagon pulls
In the spring of twenty eight
The cowboys will find that one is missing
And they will think of poor Joe Wilie's fate.
oe [sic] has a loving Mother and Father
A sister and two brothers true
But they will find their loved one waiting
When they bid this land adieu.
