FUNERAL SERVICES (Continued from cage 1.) covered from that but suffered a relapse, Bright’s disease also being complicated with the other ailment. On account of the contagion of the disease, the funeral this afternoon was private, the burial taking place at the Mt. Tabor cemetery. The boys father was Brenton Gilpen, who has been dead for some time. He leaves a step-mother and several brothers and sisters. James T. Dailey was his guardian. o————— OBITUARY. Reuben B. Clark died at the home of his son, E. A. Clark, six miles southwest of Tipton Sunday morning, February 20, 1910, at 3:30 a. m., aged 69 years, 11 months and 2 days. He was one of nine children born to James M. and Mary Clark. He was married to Agnes W. Davis in 1860, and to this union were born nine children, five of whom survive. The wife and mother preceded him to the great beyond in 1881. Since that time he has made his home with the children, staying the greater part of the time with his two sons, Harvey C. Clark and E. A. Clark. He had suffered long with a complication of diseases, the main trouble being that of organic heart lesion. He united with the M. El church when but a young man and lived a consistent Christian life till the all-wise God called him from his home on earth to his home in heaven. His surviving children are: Martha B. Beard of Greentown, Ind.; Harvey C. Clark of Decatur, Ind.; E. A. Clark of Tipton, Ind.; Anna E. Hughes of Alexandria, Ind., and Ida King of Willow, Ind., besides one sister and two brothers and a host of friends to mourn his departure. The funeral was held at Center church at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning, conducted by the Rev. George Foster of Tipton. Interment at the Stewart cemetery. Dear father has gone to be with us no more, Till we meet on the other shore. A home is broken, there is a vacant chair. For there is no father there. While in the dead hours of night The spirit silently took its flight, While friends and loved ones were asleep, The death angel stole o’er the deep. For where he lay asleep on the bed. And quickly severed the vital thread. 'Tis God s will, things must be so, Then let us live and be ready to go When Jesus calls us to rest, When we will be with the blest. CHILDREN.
