Getty Maria Elwood was born in Mercer county, Penn., March 14, 1824, and died 
at the home of her daughter, Mr. C. R. Crane, March 27, 1902, at the age of 78 
years, 1 week and 6 days. She was married to Geo. R. Clark on March 16, 1844. 
Her husband preceded her to the other world, March 13, 1882. To this union was 
born six children, one of them died in infancy, the other five remain to mourn 
the loss of a most beloved and devoted mother. She with her family came to Iowa 
in 1851, where she has since resided. She was converted and joined the M. E. 
church in 1849, of which she has been a faithful member for over sixty-two 
years, ever being loyal to her church by her life, an example showing great 
faith in her Savior. Having been a great sufferer for about a year, she longed 
for the rest promised unto all who shall come unto Him. The family, the church 
and the community have suffered a real loss in her death. Here was a splendid 
type of life and character. The funeral was conducted at the M. E. church in
