Death of Clarence Il. Doty.


The saddest news received fin Edger-
ton for long time, came from Chicago
early Tuesday morning, announcing the
death of Clarence Doty The sad news
came like a shock, not only to the family
and relatives, but to the whole town as
well, for no young man was better and
more favorably known in this city than
Clarence Doty.
Clarence B. Doty eldest son of George
and Marian Doty, was born in Edgerton,
July 5, 1878, in the old homestead where
his grandmother, Mrs. Doty, now lives.
At the age of twelve in consequence of
i'll health, he spent two years in South
Dakota with his uncle near Mitchell, en-
tirely regaining his health. Two years
ago he graduated from the city high
school and the succeeding autumn en-
tered the course of pharmacy In the
University at Madison, where he finished
as far as possible before having practical
experience. February 14th last he en-
tered position in the wholesale drug
house of Stearns & White Co., in Chica-
go, where he enjoyed his work and was
doing we'll until last Thursday when he
was attacked by lagrippe, complicated
with tonsolitis. Learning that he was
seriously i'll, his mother went to him on
Monday morning and found him conval-
escing, but to the surprise and grief of
all he died Monday night of heart failure,
aged 20 years, months and days. His
passing was without struggle while
lying on the bed beside his mother.
In his last sickness he had the best of
care and every attention. His employer
writes: Clarence was liked by all his
co-workers and they feel sad over his
DEATH
He united with the Congregational
church six years ago at the age of a. was
member of and helpful worker in the
Khan Endeavor Society and had large
circle of friends who will miss his cheer
full word and presence.
He leaves father, mother, brother, two
sisters, two grandmothers, besides numer-
Gus uncles, aunts and many close and
loving friends to mourn his loss and
fondly cherish his momory. Of cheerful
temperament, helpful disposition, genial
and general fellowship his many young
friends will often think of Clarence with
JOY and gratitude in years to come. With
the best of habits, honorable character,
kindly disposition, winning ways and re-
cent preparation for his life work he
seemed at the threshold of long and
happy and successful life. But it was
not to be. We may not keep our loved
ones with us always, and they are often
called home seemingly before their time.
Yet the Heavenly Father, in His love,
leaves with us the memory of their lives
as blessing and benediction to mellow
our hearts, guide our actions and make
us also fit for the celestial home.
The funeral which took place Thurs
day afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Con
gregational church, conducted by Rev.
Spellman, was one of the largest held in
Edgerton for long time and went to show
the high esteem in which he was held.
1.-THE floral offerings were beautiful be-
Eyond description and together composed
veritable bed Of flowers such as is sell
dom seen; among the offerings were 80
roses sent from Chicago, one for each of
his fellow workers in the factory. The
remains were laid to rest in Fassett
cemetery. Father, mother, sisters and
brother have the tender sympathy of
every person in this city, for their loss is
ours as. we'll.
