EDITOR IRON COUNTY RECoRD:-Ella |
Clark Robinson, daughter of Mary Jane
and Edgar l.. Clark, came as ray of |
happy sunshine to her parental home |
Jan. 20, 1870.
Her gladstone, winning ways in
creased with her years, and by the |!
time the little maid bad reached the |
age of ten, her father and mother !
could not but note the interest she |
manifested in the cares of her parents. |
This thoughtfulness developed so fast
that ever since her early grlhood days
the heads-of the home have been in the |
habit of talking over with her all inn
portant matters pertaining to the home
life. This training, perhaps, partially
prepared her for the responsibilities
that have seemed to fall SO naturally
upon her shoulders.
Elias mother was very delicate, and
a number Of years preceding her death
was an invalid. Our subject being at
the time the only child unmarried, was
the constant companion and attendant
Of her mother. Such untiring, cease
less devotion has rarely, IL ever, been
exhibited by any one as was hourly adj
ministered to that afflicted parent; and
when some two years ago sister Mary
Jane Clark was called to the eternal
shores, Ella took up the double labor of
filing the void caused thereby, and
continuing to be the most loving and
duitible daughter that could be given
to earthly parents--a comforter, a
counselor. an object OF pure devotion 70
lonely fathers heart.
On the End dayo April, 1904, Ella
Clark gave her hand In marriage TO
James Robinson of Paragoonah. The
brief fourteen months of married life
was repletc with happy satisfaction.
On the 9th of May, this year, their
baby girl was born. All prospects
seemed bright for the future, but tho
ordeal proved too much for her and
! her life was sacrificed on the alter. OF
motherhood. The end came June 6
1904.
The occasion was one Of extreme sor
row to the people OF Parown, as we'll al
many OF the surrounding settlements

Relief Society. At tie time of here de
mise she was class leader in the Pare

2 character aud ability was sacred t
e every member.
J. During her illness she was patien
n and appreciative of every little after

no better than you have been to me.
All that skill and earnest faith coul
N do to stay the hand Of death was don,
l. every wish was verified. There canno
% be a shadow OF remorse for neglect O
Ie the part of physicians, nurses, relativ,

was held. The building was beautiful
