We learn of the death of Mrs. Net
tie (Sartle) Clark, which occurred at
Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. %. By her
death the last one Of the John P. Sar-
tie family has passed away. 1t is only
little over twenty years since Mr..
Sartle and family were living in this
village with bright prospects before
them. Mr.. Sartle was a lawyer in
good practice and had a promising
family in Willie, young man then,
we believe, at West Point; Nettie, a
daughter of about twenty years, and
Harry, a pretty little boy of eight or
ten. Mr.. Sartle died suddenly in this
village and the care of the younger
children fell on his wife. Her life for
some years was clouded by various
misfortunes and by the loss Of friends,
and she passed away about two years
since Meanwhile Willie went into the
army as lieutenant, was married and
| had home in one of the Territories.
For some unknown cause he took his
own life, and his wife died very sud
den death. Harry drifted about some
years in his early manhood and final
ly became slight ofhand Snowman
or "Professor." While performing
pistol trick, some bystander placed
real lead bullet in. the pistol and he
was shot dead. Nettie married a very
worthy gentleman and they had
good business and a pleasant home in
Peoria, Ill. Some months since, Mr..
Clark, her husband, became sick, with
no prospect of recovery, and he took
his own life with pistol. Nettie sur
vived him only few months and died
Of pneumonia. Her remains were
buried beside her husband One son
of Willie Sartle is supposed to be 1iv
