DEATH CLAIMS AGED
BRUNSWICK LADY

Mrs. Clara Elizabeth Waite of Bruins
wick, notice of whose critical illness
following an operation two weeks ago
appeared in our issue of last week,
d'ed at German hospital, Cleveland,
last Sunday evening at 6 o'clock. Fun
eral services were held at the Bruns-
wick NJ. E. church on Wednesday at
10 o'clock a. M, Rev. James Gray of
Leesville, o., former pastor of the
deceased, officiating. Burial was made
in Brunswick.
Clara Elizabeth Collyer was born in
Hinckley, o., April 27, 1847. She was
a daughter of William and Rachel
B. Collyer. Her marriage to Wesley
P. Waite occurred April II, 1867. She
spent almost her entire life in Bruns-
wick, to which place she came with
her parents, when she was seven years
Of age.
Early in life she gave her heart to
God, and always lived an earnest and
devoted Christian life. She gave her
name to the Methodist Episcopal
church, and as far as health and
strength permitted, her time and tai
ents, and also her means, were freely
used in helping in every department
of church work, and in every good and
worthy cause. She knew her Bible
and her teaching in the Sunday school
sowed the good seed, the harvest 81
which will be eternat lffe to- those VINO
listened and took heed. Many stars
will shine on her crown of rejoicing.
The influence of her beautiful life
will live on through the ages to come,
making the world better and happier
because she has lived. That blessed
influence Will gather like halo about
the husband, children and grandchil-
dren, whom she so fondly loved and
will never leave them, but will COM
fort and guide them.
Her trust in her Saviour was un-
bounded and immovable, and she real
lied His presence with her more than
ever before, in the last hours of her
suffering, and was able to claim the
promise, Gear thou not, for | am
with thee"
She possessed an aesthetic nature,
and greatly appreciated the beautiful
in all things. She was of literary
turn of mind, and was a writer Of
much merit, and for many years her
productions appeared in some of the
leading periodicals. She was one of
the few who never grow old, because
her heart was young and full of sun
shine.
Mrs.Waite's illness extended over
several weeks, and in hopes that relief
for her might be obtained she was
taken to the German hospital, Cleve-
land, December l. Everything was
done for her by loving hearts and
l,@hus' that could be done to stay the
dread disease, but to no avail. She
pessed away at the hospital Sunday
evening at 6 o'clock, December 12l
1915, aged 6S years, 8 months and is
days, She is survived by her husband
Wesley P. Waite; one daughter, Mrs
Eva l.. Stebbins of Brunswick: three
sons, Herbert A. Waite of Medina.
Harry N. Waite of Brunswick, and
Earnest E. Waite of Los Angeles. Cal, |
seven grandchildren; one brother, Geo
Jollyer, of New Lynne, Astabula coun
", and one sister, Mrs. Mary Waite
II Brunswick, besides many other rel
atives and a host of friends. Manv
hearts are filled with sorrow because
'he has gone from us, but our loss is
her eternal gain.
