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.
