MRS. ALICE E. NUTT

	As the golden rays of the setting sun cast a holy benediction o’er the earth,
the spirit of Mrs. Alice Nutt quietly slipped from its frail moorings into the
Land of Endless Day.
	Claiming the promise of three-score years and ten, Alice Eliza Clark, first
born in the house of Daniel B. and Sarah Clark of Jefferson County, New York,
first saw the light of day, January 27, 1854 and life’s shadows deepened on the
afternoon of August 24, 1928.
	When a year old, she came with her parents and grand-father to New Buffalo,
later locating at Lakeside. Upon arriving in Michigan, the father entered the
ministry of the Methodist Protestant Church, in which service he was
successfully engaged for nearly forty-five years.  It was the daughter’s
privilege to see much of the state on account of the many charges served by the
early itinerant preacher.
	After teaching school for a short time, Miss Clark was wedded on her
twenty-second birthday to Albert Nutt at Comstock. Michigan.  After their
marriage they lived near Buchanan for about four years. The next eighteen years
were spent in Barry County, Michigan.  Thirty-three years ago Mr. and Mrs. Nutt
returned to Buchanan, where, in 1926, the venerable couple celebrated their
Golden Wedding Anniversary.
	Always deeply devoted to the church, it was a real cross to Mother Nutt that
failing health deprived her of the privilege of church attendance. At the time
of her translation she was affiliated with the Buchanan Evangelical Church.
	As the last member of the Clark family she has gone to join her parents, a
little sister and her own infant son.  The blessed hope of a glad reunion is the
heritage of the husband, Albert Nutt, an adopted son and his wife, Rev. and Mrs.
William N. Nutt of Cloverdale, Mich., three grand-children, Howard of Kalamazoo;
Margaret and Lois of Cloverdale and other relatives.
