Carbon Monoxide Blamed in Auto Death at Clever.
Billy Ray Teague, 40-year-old Galena resident, apparently died of carbon monoxide poisoning early Christmas morning, according to Dean Harris, Christian county coroner. Teague and a companion, David White, had spent the night in their car after becoming mired in mud just west of Clever between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. Christmas Eve. White told a Christian County deputy that he and Teague walked into Clever and found a local man to help them free the car. After this proved unsuccessful, they got back into the car and went to sleep, leaving the engine running. Coroner Harris said there was no foul play indicated and no inquest is planned. Funeral services for Teague were at 2 p.m. Monday in Cantrell Chapel, Billings with burial in Bruner Cemetery.

The last enemy has been destroyed, which is death, but thanks be to God who giveth us the victory through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. A God of love, mercy and compassion, who comes to us in our hour of bereavement with comfort and hope. Eternal life is the promise that robs death of its sting and the grave of its victory. Sorrowing ones weep not as those who have no hope of meeting their father again. We shall find our dear ones in that Heavenly land. We shall know them and they shall know us. Shall we not set our hearts on the other side of the river. It is but a step. It is but a veil. Till we too will be in yonder world where there is no sickness, sorrow or death, nor pain can enter there. But all will be joy, peace, love in the Kingdom of the Lord. And God’s soft hands shall wipe all tears from our eyes. He saith, “In my Father’s house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you that where I am, you may be also.” I thank God He’s coming back again to gather his jewels home and what a glad reunion that will be when the Saints go marchin’ in. Dear Father, we have laid thee in the peaceful grave’s embrace, But thy memory shall be cherished ‘Till we see thy Heavenly face. Written by a friend, Laura Jones.
