-CLE,1MER.-Died at ?latteville, Wis,
on Friday, January 2, 1885, Of Consump-
ton, Miss Della Clemmer, aged IS years.
When the writer penned an item for
last weeks Recorder, informing the pub
lie of the serious illness of the above
near and dear relative, little did we
think that 50 soon we would be called
upon to chronicle her death. The sad
news reached US by telegram Saturday
last and sent deep pang Of sorrow
through our heart. That this young life,
freighted with the golden fruit Of future
years, suspicious in so much that gives
life pleasure and happiness, should 60
out at such a time is thing that brings
all kind hearts together in universal
sympathy. To. those who stood in near
and close relationship and knew the lat
cnt powers and high, noble ambition
which inspired the life that is gone, the
feeling of sorrowful regret is fathomless.
The deceased was for several years res
ident of Hampton, in fact, here she grew
up from childhood to maidenhood, and
many of our residents we'll know the

she possessed. She had bright and in
cisive mind and possessed remarkable
talent for music, which promised great
results. She had a genial frank and
engaging disposition, which made her
a general tavorite in society. We can
not help but think that our beloved Sis
ter Della had a successful future before
her, gifted and determined, she would
have wrought out monuments Of credit
to herself and kindred. She was cut off
from a realization of her ambition by
power which is beyond all human calcu-
lation. Judged by human standard it
seems an unjust destiny, but it is not for
us to judge Of that we cannot under
stand Hampton ( Ia.) Recorder, Jan. 7.
Miss Della was the daughter of Geo. G.
Clcmmcr who was well known to the ma
jority of our readers having been in bus.
mess in Austin for several years. Della
was not born in Austin, as stated by the
Register last week, but her girlhood days
were spcut IN this city-and We rcmem
Der her as bright, beautiful!girl,1 beloved
by all her associates. The parents have
the sympathy Of their ola friends here in
this their sore bereavement.
