MRS. MARTHA Il. CLARK.

On Sunday morning at half past
six o'clock Mrs. Martha II. Clark
died at her home on Market street,
after a brief illness. For some time
she had not been strong, and her
friends could see that she was failing
with advancing years, but her death
was wholly unexpected. On Friday
night she had an attack of what APP
peared to be heart trouble, followed
by great weakness, and from this she
did not rally, though everything was
done that medical skill and the most
careful nursing could do.
Mrs. Clark was born in Danville
on January IL, 1896. She was a
daughter of Geo. A. Frick Esq, a
prominent lawyer in his day, and a
sister of Col. A. J. Frick of Dan
vile, and Augustus Frick OF Bluffton,
Ohio. She was married to Robert f.
Clark Esq, and from this union nine
children were born, namely, Clarence
II. now deceased, John NJ, George
A., Mary NJ, and Martha F., of
Bloomsbury; Mrs. r. C. Neal, and
Arthur A. of Harrisburg Edward B.
of Hummelstown, and William H. of
Florida. All the living children except
William were present at their mothers
death bed. Though greatly bereaved,
they have the consolation of knowing
that their mothers whole life was
cheered and lightened by the loving
solicitude and devotion of her child
rem.
The deceased was a communicate
of st. Paul's p. f. Church, and has
been an earnest and consistent men,
Der from her girlhood. Until her
health failed, there was no one more
active in the work of the church than
she. The guilds, the sewing societies,
the choir, and other organizations
were all matters of interest to her,
and her helping hand was always ready
wherever assistance was needed. Her
memory is blessed to many who, in
times of sickness, sorrow, and death,
were the recipients of her loving
ministrahons. She was a good, true,
and noble woman, and her death has
filed the hearts of many friends with
grief
The funeral was held in St. Paurs
Church on Tuesday afternoon at three
o'clock, and was largely attended.
There were many beautiful floral
offerings. The services were con-
Quoted by the rector, Rev. d. N.
Kirkby, and the burial took place in
Rosemont.
