IN MEMORY OF LITTLE CHARLES DANIELS, JR.
On the evening of June 23, 1931, about 7 o'clock God�s death angel
visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Daniels of Corsicana, and
took away the spirit of their darling little Junior.
Junior was sick only a short time. He was about four years old and
was loved by all who knew him.
Oh, how they miss him, how hard to give him up, but we must say Thy
will be done. Weep not for him who was suffering so much pain but
now is at rest not for a short time but through all the ceaseless
ages of eternity. Let�s not wish for him back but live such a life
as to meet our little darling in the sweet beyond.
He leaves a heart broken mother and father, two sisters and a little
brother, two grandmothers and a host of other relatives and friends
to mourn their loss. He was laid to rest in the Oakwood cemetery
beneath a canopy of beautiful flowers.
We had a little treasure once, he was our joy and pride, we loved
him Oh, perhaps too well, for soon he slept and died.
Thou art gone our precious darling, never more canst thou return,
thou shalt sleep a peaceful slumber till the resurrection morn. A
precious one from them has gone, a voice they loved is still, a
place is vacant in their home which never can be filled.
Lord give them strength their loss to bear and lead them in the
heavenly way. Oh may they meet their baby there.
We know not why sadness must befall, we know not when that mighty
voice may call. You will all be sad and lonely without him but think
of him as an angel leading you to that great beyond where he is
waiting to welcome us one by one as we are gathered home.
Written by his cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Hardin, Purdon, Texas, R.
R. No. 2.

Resolutions In Regard to the Death of Mr. J. N. Royall.
Whereas, our friend and brother, Mr. J. N. Royall has
lived in Corsicana for many years and we have known him
as citizen, business man, neighbor, friend, Christian
and patriot, and
Whereas; in all these relations of life we found him
consistently exemplifying the highest ideals and
Whereas: In the death of Mr. J. N. Royall, Corsicana has
sustained an almost irreparable loss, commercially,
socially, civically, politically and religiously;
Therefore, Be It Resolved:
That we, the members of the board of stewards of the
First Methodist church and also the members of the
Quarterly Conference express the high regard in which we
held him as a member and officer in our church, and that
while he was the personifications of loyalty, he was in
no way sectarian and yet so fine a Methodist that it is
impossible to think of Methodism in Corsicana without
associating there-with the name of J. N. Royall, nor can
one think of Sunday school, church service, mid-week
service, stewards meeting or Quarterly Conference
without visualizing the kindly face of our good friend.
And in the evangelistic work of the church recalling his
wonderful influence in winning men for the Kingdom of
God or in bearing the financial burden of privilege of
the church the generous part he bore.
That we miss him from our work and councils and cherish
his memory as sacred.
