the homestead at Spruce Grove in the
section now known as Red Eye. Here
they lived until the death of her hus-
band five years ago. Since then she
has divided her time with. her child
rem. For twenty-six years she was
the postnistress Of this community.
A faithful public servant, giving to
this as to everything she undertook,
her very best. At the age of sixty
five, she took a homestead near
Kelliher, lived on it and proved up.
During these long and lonely days she
read a large number of good books,
and often said she was very happy.
About year ago, it was discovered
that she was suffering from cancer. In
Sept. 1917, she was operated on at St.
Cloud, when it was found that nothing
could be done for her. She had been
living with her daughter, Mrs. L. J.
Irish of Sank Centre for about two
years, but expressed a desire to be
taken to her sons in Coleraine. She
made the journey in her weakened
condition with the courage and cheer
fulness that she put into everything
she did. She only lived a few weeks,
after arriving at Coleraine. Funeral
services were held from the Union
church at Spruce Grove, Rev. James
A. Orrock of Frazee reading the fun
eral rites. Her body was laid to rest
by the side of her husband in the lit
tie burying ground adjoining the
church.
Mrs. Clifford was the mother of nine
children, eight of whom are left to
mourn the loss of a good mother. They
are Mrs. G. A. Maderson of Alexander
N. D.; Mrs. L, J. Irish of Sank Cen.
tire; Mrs. F. E. Hunt of Denbigh, Va.
Mrs. c. O. Hanson, Charles and Wal.
ter of Coleraine; Alfred of Mitchell
S. D. and Edward, who lives on the
old homestead. Bert died a few year
ago.
