Last Saturday morning at about 10:30 o’clock, a tragic accident occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Clifton which took the life of their little son, Tommy. It was said that the day before the children had asked the father to make them a swing. Being a man who tried to give his children the best things they asked for, he did his best at making them a good strong swing in the back yard. When the children were all swinging and having a good time, the accident occurred—the swing turning over and striking the little fellow in the head. No one knows how the swing came to fall as it was tried for safety the night before. Little Tommy Ellison Clifton was born March 18th, 1943 in Edna, living here all of his short life. He was 5 years and 10 months of age. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Clifton and four sisters, Carlyn Ann, Jane, Connie and Sandra, and one brother, Jerry; also his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Quinn of Houston and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Clifton of Edna, and a number of uncles and aunts.—Contributed. Edna Weekly Herald, January 29, 1949
