Rockdale, Milam Co., Texas, July 3. -- Winifred Luckey, 8, son of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Luckey, was killed late Tuesday afternoon when he was caught in a cave-in of a gravel pit near San Gabriel, several miles west of Rockdale. The child had gone with his father, who was doing some graveling, and while the truck was being loaded he was standing near the pit and became caught as the gravel suddenly gave way. He was taken to a Cameron hospital, but died before aid could be given. The body has been brought to Rockdale.

Obituary
Winfred Luckey
"A precious one from us is gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in our hearts
that never can be filled."
Many hearts were made sad when the news reached Rockdale of the passing of little Winfred Luckey on Tuesday of last week. Winfred was a very loving and winsome child who won the admiration of all that knew him. He was popular among his classmates and is mourned by a host of friends.
On October 3, 1918, Winfred was born at Pleasant Hill, and lived there until this past year, when his parents moved to their present home in Rockdale. At the time of his death, he was nine years and nine months olds.
Funeral services were held from the family residence at 4:30 Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Everett, pastor of the Methodist church at Pleasant Hill, of which Winfred was a member, officiating. Rev. Everett delivered very beautiful and consoling words to the bereaved ones, soothing to their grief-torn hearts. Interment was made in the Pleasant Hill cemetery, a large host of friends and relatives accompanying the remains to the final resting place. The mound of beautiful floral offereings manifested the extreme grief and sympathy for the family over the loss of such a dear one.
Besides a number of friends and relatives who mourn his death, Winfred is survived by his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Homer Luckey, and one sister, Mildred.
Life seems unjust to us when we face problems of grief like this one, that cannot be solved or understood. It hardely seems fair that little Winfred should be taken from us just in the bloom of his childhood and on the verge of having a very beautiful and noble life. But time and faith alone can sooth the aching hearts and when we stop to consider, "Thy will be done," we do not question for we know that it was His will and that is was best. It is comforting to know that he is just asleep, away from all trials of sin and temptations, and tomorrow he will be waiting.
"Let us be patient! The severe afflictions
Not from the ground arise,
But often time Celestial beneditions
Assume this dark disguise."
