Obituary Mrs. Rose B. Clark.


Mrs. Rose D. Clark died of COM
plication of diseases on March Fl,
1910, st o'clock a. M, aged 40 years,
4 months and 4 days.
Rose Bradley was born in Ellen
boro, WIS, Nov. II, 1869. There in
a home where love reigned supreme
she passed her happy childhood and
grew to be a beautiful woman, very
intelligent, generous and remark
ably kind hearted, thoughtful and
lovable. She successfully taught
in the public schools of Grant coun-
ty for number of years.
On May 20, 1859, she was married
to w. A. Clark and for the fourteen
years of welded life their home has
been in Ellenboro. One child, girl,
was born to them, which died in in
fancy.
Mrs. Clark began to fail in health
more than year ago, but was able
to perform her household duties
prior to last October, when she was
compelled to relinquish them. She
took to her bed last November and
local physicians were unable to give
relief. Through the advice of her
attending physician she was taken
to hospital in Chicago by her hus-
band and sister-in-law, Mrs. Austa
Mcpherson. After few days in
the Augustana hospital she under-
went an operation for tumor and
other ailments, which proved sue
cessful, and she began to improve,
but her heart being effected, she
died in the hospital from heart
failure.
Her loving husband tried so hard
to save this precious life. No eX-
pense was spared. Nothing that
love, watchful care and medical
skill could do was left undone. His
was ''ever the love that never fail
eth" for which she always seemed
so sweetIY grateful, SO appreciative.
Mrs. Clark's other near relatives
are her sister, Mrs. VIM. Stark of
Lancaster, VIM Stark of Lancaster,
two brothers, Eugene, of Geddes, S.
D and Ernest. of EIlenb oro. Her
father and mother preceded her to
the great beyond few years ago.
She was charter, member of
Loyalty Camp No. 2142, Royal
Neighbors of America, of Ellenboro,
and for a number of years held the
highest office, that of oracle, and
her sister Neighbors loved her, for
she was cheerful and had kind,
loving word for everyone. She will
be greatly missed by old and young.
She held the Office Of secretary IN
the r. n. A. Social Circle.
The funeral services we're held on
March 23rd, first at the house, then
at the school house in EllenbOro,
conducted by Rev. Hannaford and
the Royal Neighbors. The attend
ance was remarkable large, friends
having come from many of the
nearby towns.
And the flowers, the beautiful
flowers. Such d wealth of them
were given in sympathy by the r.
N. A lodge, Social Circle, M. W. A.
and by school children, friends and
relatives
There we're fifty or more carriages
in the procession, and more than all
the rest were the tears; even little
school children and friends from far
and near-all faces damp with tears.
Interment was made at the Buck
wheat Ridge cemetery.
Passed on through the shadow of death,
Out into the fair land of day,
The glow of her beautiful faith
Lighting up every step of the way.
To meet in fhe heavenly land
With loved ones who've passed on before,
And, as one of great. loving band,
To be parted again never more.
To know not grief or a care
Through all the bright ages to come;
Oh, what must it be to be there,
Forever and eyer at home!
M. E. II.
