Obituary of Elvy Harrison Clements

31 March 1916, Hutsonville (IL) Herald

 
Elvy Harrison Clements, son of D. H. and M. P. Clements, was born in
Clark coutny, Illinois, Dec. 8, 1890, died at his home in Clark
county, Illinois, March 20, 1916, age 25 years, 3 months and ? days.
He leaves an aged father and mother, four sisters, Mrs. Clara McCrory,
Mrs. Anna Hand, Glolda at home and Mrs. Sarah McDonnall of Holycke,
Colorado, and one brother, William, of Terre Haute.

He spent last summer in Colorado with his sister in hope of regaining his
health but to no avail, came back last fall and gradually grew weaker
and weaker until death came and claimed its reward.  He contracted the
whooping cough three years ago which developed into tuberculosis.  His
mother cared for him day and night during his illness.

Over a week before he died, he gave his heart to God and expressed in
words that he would love to live and tell his associates of a better
lift than the one they were living.  Elvy had friends without
number.

There being a large crowd at the funeral showed that he was loved by
all who knew him.  He was always ready to do all he could for his
friends.  His flowers were most beautiful which he thought always were
so lovely and cherished so much.  He is gone but cannot be forgotten,
such is the life of a good boy as he.
