this life Sunday night, May 7th. The
passing was peaceful and happy. Her
age was 60 years, and left two children,
Mrs. Tom Steele, of Indian, and Chas.
Mcclure, who resides near here, also
several grand children, two sisters and
three brothers. One daughter, Mrs.
Belle Mcclure Caldwell Hoops preceded
her to the throne above al out ten years
ago. She was one of the victims of the
flood as was also a grand and the
latter's two step-children and a young
man, John Tate, who perished while
trying to save the others. From this
great stroke Mrs. Mcclure never fully
recovered. She was also blind for sew
everal years, and DR.. Peavler, of Bris-
tol, operated on her eyes, but they were
too far gone for her to recover her
sight. A year ago she got so she could
see little for which she was very
thankful. She said she was ready and
willing to depart and be with God.
Services were conducted by Rev. Pan
gle. of the Methodist church, Tuesday
at O'Clock after which her body was
buried in the family graveyard. She
had been a member of the Christian
church for 80 years. May God sustain
the aged husband and bless the children,
grandchildren, brothers and sisters,
relatives and friends and may they all
meet her in Heaven. Mrs. Mcclure
died of consumption and had been con-
fined to the house for about three and a
half months. Several from this place
attended the funeral and burial.
