Obituary-Mrs. Draper.

Clara Chamberlayne was born in
Rothwell, England, March 18, 1880,
and died at Lancaster, April %,
1914.
In early girlhood she united with
the Congregational church at Roth
we'll, from whence she was transferred
by letter to the same church, at Lam
caster.
In the year 1856, she was married
to John Draper. To them were born
six children, five sons and one daugh-
ter. In 1868 Mr.. Draper decided
that he could do better in America.
So this brave wife and mother, true
helpmeet that she was, left home and
kindred land with an infant son, seven
weeks old in her arms and three little
children, from three to seven years
old at her side, took the long journey
by steamer to New York, then by
train to Ohio, where she had rela-
tives, and thence to Lancaster. Here
she faced many trials; working hard
at her trade, to help her husband pay
for home and support the family, to
which another was added within two
years.
May 1, 1908, her beloved husband
laid life's burden down, and went to
join the loved ones "gone before. -
After his death Mrs. Draper took up
her trade again, seeking comfort in
activity. AS has been we'll said by
a wise clergyman "The so-called
curse, by the sweat of thy brow
shalt thou eat bread, was in reality
the tenderest blessing from loving
Fathers hand and now, as before
she proved this true. She worked
until failing strength compelled her
to stop, two years later.
For the last three years she had
been steadily failing, in spite of
everything that love and devotion
could do for her, until the end came,
after more than a year of total help
lessness.
Her funeral was held from the
church of her love, on Thursday,
April 80, the pastor speaking very
feelingly from II Timothy, fourth
chapter, sixth to eighth verses. F. P.
