Longmont Ledger, April 8, 1898
TERRY.--Longmont, April 3, 1898, of pneumonia, Mrs. Clarissa Jane Terry, aged 

74 years, 8 months and 23 days.

  It seems almost useless to say much in regard to one that was so well known 

and loved in our city and country as Mrs. Terry.  One of the most faithful of 

wives and mothers, an exemplary Christian, for she placed the love of Christ 

far above mere church membership, living every day the pure life that made her 

beloved by all who knew her.  She will be greatly missed but her memory still 

remains.

  Clarissa Jane Burbank was born in Enfield, Conn., sometimes called 

Thompsonville.  Was married to Seth Terry in 1845, at that place, where they 

also celebrated their silver wedding; but their golden wedding was celebrated 

in Pueblo.

  They have had eleven children born to them, nine of whom have had families of 

their own, seven of them now living; also thirty-one grand children and one 

great grand child.

  Just half of their married life was spent in Colorado, and the last years 

were the happiest.  They came to Colorado in the spring of 1871, Mrs. Terry 

being one of the original members of the M.E. church of this city.

  Funeral services were held at the M.E. church, Wednesday morning, conducted 

by Rev. C. H. Koyl and Rev. D. B. Vosseller, the interment taking place at the 

longmont cemetery.
