DIED WHILE SITTING IN CHAIR

End Came Suddenly for Mrs. Lucy Clark Last Friday Evening. Mrs. Lucy Clark died Friday evening about 6 o’clock at the home of Mrs. Winona Dunlap on Weston street. Mrs. Clark had been in very poor health for several years, but had been about as usual and her death at this time was quite a shock, she having been found dead in her chair when she was called to supper. Deceased was born in Ohio May 6, 184 0, being seventy-seven years, eleven months and twenty-seven days of age at the time of her death. Her husband died about thirty-two years ago. She is survived by two sons, James Clark of this city and Wilson Clark of Emporia, Kansas, and one sister, Mrs. Robert Yeoman of this city. The funeral services were held at the home of James Clark on Weston street Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock, services being conducted by Rev. J. Budman Fleming of the Presbyterian church, and burial made in Weston cemetery Monday, the burial being delayed on account of her son Wilson not reaching here in time for the funeral.
