The Cairo Messenger, Friday, July 7, 1916
Mr. M. D. Clower Passes Away Last Thursday Night

The many friends of Mr. M. D. Clower will learn with regret of his death, which 
occurred last Thursday evening at nine o'clock at the residence of his brother, 
Dr. Eugene Clower.  "Mack" as he was familiarly known here, was a native of 
Cairo, where he spent his boyhood days.  Several years ago he moved to south 
Florida, where he was engaged in road construction, a work which he was very 
successful with.  He made Lakeland headquarters, where his sisters resided.

On April 22nd, last he suffered a stroke of paralysis from which he never 
recovered.  Dr. Clower attended him and brought him from Lakeland to Cairo 
several weeks ago, when it was thought he was improving.  After he was 
improving, after coming here, his condition improved until about a week before 
his death, when he suffered another stroke.  He was a member of the Methodist 
church and the order of Masons.  He was 45 years of age and is survived by 
three sisters, Misses Lula V. and Susie Mae, of Lakeland, and Mrs. R. W. Pearce 
of Monticello, Fla., two brothers, John T. of Carrabelle and Dr. Eugene Clower 
of this city.

He was prominent in business circles in south Florida and his death will 
occasion much regret there.

The funeral was held from the residence of Dr. Clower on Saturday morning at 
eleven o'clock and was conducted by Rev. J. T Ryder, assisted by Rev. J. B. 
Wight.  Interment followed at the city cemetery.  The following gentlemen acted 
as pallbearers:  L. B. Powell, W. L. Wight, E. M. Maxwell, J. B. Crawford, 
Thomas Wight and D. F. Oliver.

The family have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
