HALL OF DARLINGTON LODGE, NO. 186, F. and A. M. WHEREAS, Death has again crossed our threshold and taken hence our brother, William W. McClure. While our hearts are sad we, as true Masons, bow to the will of Him that doeth all things well.
Resolved, That in the death of Brother McClure the lodge has lost a worthy member, a true Mason, a good citizen, and the family a devoted husband and father.
Resolved, That the charter and the columns of the senior and junior wardens be draped in mourning for thirty days that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family, the Crawfordsville JOURNAL and the Echo, and that they be spread on the minutes of the lodge.
Fraternally submitted, this 9th day of July. 1901. S. S. MARTIN. ALBERT MULLEN,
V. E. CRAIG, Committee.
William W McClure was born in Crawfordsville, Ind., Nov. 6, 1829,-died at his home near Darlington, Ind., July 4, 1901. As will be seen by his birth he was one among the oldest native born citizens of the county, and with the exception of a few years that he spent in Iowa, lived his entire life in this county. During his stay in Iowa he married Miss Mary Jones and to them was born a son, the mother dying soon after. He left the boy with her relatives and returned to his native home, where Jan. 15, 1862, he married Matilda Hlatt. To them were born two children who with the mother survive and are left to mourn, John, the eldest, and Mary, the wife of Frank Gobel, both of whom live here and were with him at the end. The son in Iowa was deprived of this privilege, he having but recently been exposed to smallpox. Early in life he had learned the blacksmith trade and many of our farmers thought their plow would not run if McClure did not sharpen it. Thus for many years he has been a prominent figure on our streets and no one was better known than Bill McClure. He had his faults —who of us has not, yet we throw the mantle of charity over these and we can say aa a truth a good man has died a good husband, a kind and indulgent father, a good neighbor, and a man that will be missed in th6 community. I the year 1861, he was admitted to Darlington lodge, F. and A. M.. coming by demit from Waynetown lodge. He with others were after a time droped from the roll, but being unsatisfied was again reinstated and from the time of reinstatment to his death was a true and consistent member and was at his death tyler of the lodge. His burial was conducted by the lodge after short religious services at the home of Rev. A. L. West, interment at the I. O. O. F. cemetery. Thus another of the old familiar pioDeer faces is gone and soon in speaking of him we prefix the words, "you remember W. W. McClure," and in this way history is made, and soon a new generation is here, the old has passed away and all things have become new.
The correspondent, in company with a hack load of K, of P. 's, attended the funeral of William Donrad Sunday morning, and had it not been for the occasion, the drive would have been a most enjoyable one. The sudden change from hot to almost cold, made it a pleasant and, under different circumstances, a most desirable one. Arriving at the home at the appointed hour we found a vast crowd already there. Hia tragic and lamentable death had created the sympathy of the entire community, and many were the sympathetic expressions we heard for his aged and widowed mother, his brothers and sisters, but especially his mother, as he was to her not only a son but a protector In her declining years. While we knew him all his life, we knew but little of him as a man, yet we heard nothing as to his character but the highest commendation and words of praise as to his life. He was a member of the K. of P. lodge at Colfax, and that lodge had charge of the funeral services at the grave after short religions services at the home by Rev. Claypool. The interment was at the Union cemetery, one and one-half miles northwest ofjthe home, and the crowd was such that there was not room for the procession between the two places. One hundred Knights were in line and three hundred carriages and buggies—actual count. In strolling through this cemetery we found many old and familiar names of persons we were once familiar with, but gone so long we had almost forgotten them. We found on a beautiful little monument this inscription: "Abraham Bowers and his son Abner dug the first grave here Sept. 20th, 1831." We could but conclude as we viewed the ground that their selection was a most fitting one. A beautlfu
mound of some four acres on the open prairie, underlaid with gravel makes it a desirable burial place. Surrounded by beautiful farm homes, friends have kindly cared for this city of the dead all these years, and now all enclosed with a good iron fence, the lots and graves denoting the best of care, it is estimated that over 2,000 persons have been buried there in these seventy years, and we thought of the verse:
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal bo proud? Like a swift fleeting meteor, a fast flying cloud, A Hash of the lightning, a break of the wave,
Man passeth from life to his rest in the grave.
