OBITUARY
God Saw The Road Was Getting Rough
God saw the road was getting rough, the hills
were hard to climb, He gently closed those loving
eyes, and whispered peace be thine.
The weary hours, the days of pain, the sleepless
nights are past; The ever patient worn-out frame
has found sweet rest at last.
Last Saturday, one we loved and knew stepped
across the threshold that we call death, but it was only a step
into another room, and not stepping out of the fellowship of
life. It was but a stepping into one of the other rooms of our
Fathers house.
He was a Corporal in the U.S. Army, World War II.
He retired from Union Camp after 37 years. He was a fos-
ter parent to twenty children during a ten year span.
To his family he was loving and faithful, striving
always to keep them happy and in material comforts of life.
He leaves to cherish his memory, a wife, Mrs. Ida
Mae Hagan McClennon, Claxton, Ga.; two daughters, Mrs.
Joyce Pantlitz, Reidsville, Ga., and Ms. Catherine Hagan of
Claxton, Ga.; three sons, Mr. John McClennon, Albertville,
Alabama, Mr. Terry Hagan, Glennville, Ga., and Mr. Lavon
Hagan of Carrollton, Ga.; four sisters, Mrs. Ada Strickland
and Mrs. Zonia Garrison, both of Claxton, Ga., Mrs. Zola
Mapp, Atlanta, Ga., and Mrs. Edna Mae Adam, Metter, Ga.;
two brothers, Mr. Allen and Mr. Clyde McClennon, both of
Claxton, Ga.; two brothers-in-law, Mr. Davis Hampton and
Mr. Danny Jones, both of Claxton, Ga., seventeen grand-
children, several nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends
in the Claxton area.
