Payette Independent 3-9-1899
Payette Independent
Payette, Idaho
Thursday, March 9, 1899

Died at her home on the bench March 3rd, 1899, Mrs. Effie Clark-Sherwood, aged 
29 years 10 months and 24 days, of consumption.

Funeral services were held in the Payette M.E. church Sunday afternoon, 
conducted by the pastor Rev. J. R. Yost. The intement took place in Riverside 
Cemetery, the remains being followed to their last resting place by a large 
cortege of friends and neighbors.

Another loved form has passed from our earthly sight. One whose life has ever 
been following the footsteps of her Lord and Master. We miss her presence, her 
ever-ready smile of welcome; yet we do not grieve for her knowing she is happy 
in the realization of her hopes.

Hers was a beautiful life of perfect trust; a firm believer in the truth, of 
the love and goodness of her source of ever-present help; her only regret was 
in leaving her little family.

Her health had been declining for two years, but she did not realize her 
danger until about a year ago; since that time she had the best care that 
loving hands could give or hearts suggest.

May we who have had her example before us, learn the lesson of life, and 
realize the fact that death is "swallowed up in victory."

"There is no death,
What seems so is transition:
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life Elystan
Whose portal we call death." L.B.
