AGED LADY PASSES AWAY

LONG SUFFERING RELIEVED BY SUDDEN CALL TO REST. Mrs. Lucy Clark, while sitting peacefully in her arm chair at the home of Mrs. Dunlap with whom she had been making her home expired very suddenly, Friday evening about 6:00 o’clock. She had been a sufferer for a long time but her departure was calm and serene. She was born in Ohio, May 6, 1840 and about forty years ago she and her husband, Allen Clark, moved to this county. He preceeded her in death, passing away in 1886, and his body was laid to rest in Weston cemetery. Mrs. Clark’s maiden name was Porter and she was a sister of Calvin and Wilson Porter, for many years most splendid citizens of this county but long since called to their reward. The deceased is survived b‘y one sister, Mrs. Robert Yeoman, of this city, and two sons, James Clark, of Rensselaer and Wilson Clark, of Emporia, Kansas. The funeral services will be held at the home of James Clark on Weston street Sunday afternoon at 4:00 o’clock and will be in charge of Rev. J. Budman Fleming. Interment will be made in Weston cemetery.
