FANNIE Clark Dead


most as shock to many who were not
aware of the seriousness of Miss Clark's
sickness.
Fannie Louisa Clark was born in
Pdwlet, small village in Vermont,
where she was reared to womanhood.
She was direct decendent of one of
the celebrated May Flower passengers,
and all through her life was a typical
exemplar of those sterling straits of
character, which were common to
those noble, courageous Plymouth
Rock settlers Miss Clark was quite q
sweet singer in her youth, being assoc.
lated in quartettes with such men as
Woodbury. and Cheney. She lived later
in Rockford, Illinois, for a period, and
subsequently moved to Magnolia, Iowa,
which was her home until about
twenty-five years ago, since when she
has been resident of Missouri Valley
Fulsome praise of such q modest, re-
firing, unobtrusive character as this
one was distasteful, but the many
sincere expressions of her friends and
she had many-shows with what es-
tsem she was regarded. "Why, Fannie
Clark was one of the best women who
ever lived" and many other similar
words of love for this truly good
woman were uttered.
Miss Clark was released from the
duties of this life at the residence of
ner brother, DIR Horace Warren, last
evening, September 9TH, 1900, at 9:45
o'clock. She had been failing since
about year ago, at which time she
consulted her family physician, who
communicated to those near and dear
to her the gravity of the truth She
was very brave and hopeful almost to
the last though she suffered very much
the last few months. but without any
murmuring or complaining. Her life
was full of nnseliish acts; indeed she
seemed happiest when doing for others
The sorrow comes heaviest upon her
sister with whom she lived. She and
this sister, who many years her Junior
have never been permanently sep
srated since the birth of the latter, and
the tender relations and bond of sym
pathy existing between them was
equal to that of mother and daughter,
the parting of which will be hard to
bear. Time will not dull her grief nor
years or events lessen her sense of loss.
Another has said: after all, perhaps
ears were sent To wash the lenses OF
the eyes that we may more clearly see
he realm crystalline that abides in
permanence beyond" This may be so.
