Read More	Homer Lemen Payton died at the Payton home on west Main street at five minutes past ten yesterday morning. He had been sick with pulmonary tuberculosis since last November when three severe colds, taken in quick succession, settled on his lungs and allowed the disease to develop rapidly. He was first confined to his bed in January and from that time he weakened constantly. For the last month he had been completely helpless and suffered greatly. He was hopeful of recovery for a long time during the early part of his sickness, but since the first of July be had given up the thought of living. It was hard, however, for this young man to become resigned to the thought of death. He had always been an active boy, a lover of manly sports and rejoiced in a strength which he probably overestimated, and it was very hard when the conviction came upon him that never again would he be strong and that this life would soon end. At this time he found comfort in a truer and fuller religious experience than he had ever known before, although for more than eight years he had been a member of the Methodist church. Rev. Homan became his frequent companion during the last months of his sickness and he would always have him pray with and sing for him on these visits. He died very happy and asked that something cheerful be sung at his funeral for he said he would be happy now and would see "mother." The funeral sermon was preached this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home and the body taken for burial to Summit cemetery six miles northwest of the city. This boy whose real name is not known was born in March 1887 and was 18 years and six months old when he died. At the age of three and a half years he was taken by Mr. and Mrs. Payton from the Christian Home at Council Bluffs and was named Homer Lemen Payton, the middle name being given in honor of the superintendent of the home. He was a bright, strong and manly boy whose early death is unusually sad. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 22, 1905
