From The Palmer Journal, February 12, 1920, page 8, transcribed by Linda Berney:
News was received here Sunday of the death of Clayton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ole Simonson.
He was visiting at the home of his grandfather, Louie Simonson of Ericson, when the fatal illness was contracted.
The deceased was born in Howard Co. June 5, 1903 and died Saturday February 7, aged 16 years, 7 months and two days.
The body was brought here Monday and services were conducted at the Cemetery by A. S. Reeves of the Christian Church.
It is sad indeed to give up one in his glorious youth, in his springtime of tenderness and enthusiasm, ere the sunshine of hope and joy had begun to wane, and yet we should be comforted by the thought that He who doeth all things well, makes no mistakes.
Would that we might say a word of comfort to the sorrowing relatives, but well we know that only those who have passed through such a bereavement, can know it's sorrows. Those who have gone down into the valley of suffering and stood by the side of a love one, as hope dropped away, as the petals fall from a fading flower, know that such bitterness cannot find solace in the tenderest words.
