February 1943
CLARE PIONEER PASSES AWAY AT LOCAL HOSPITAL
Mrs. Evaline Gerow Succumbs to Injury Suffered in December

Mrs. Evaline Gerow, a well known and respected resident of this city for the 
past fifty-nine years, passes away here late Friday evening as the result of 
an accident last December and the infirmities of advancing years.

Marilla Evaline, daughter of John W. and Harriet Jane Hampton, was born in 
Meigs County, Ohio, on January 29, 1868, and passed away at the Clare Hospital 
on February 12, 1943 at the age of seventy-five years and fourteen days.

She came to Clare with her parents at the age of sixteen and with the 
exception of two years in Florida has spent the rest of her life in this 
vicinity.

She was married August 29, 1888 to Barney W. Gerow.  To this union were born 
two daughters, Mrs. Ethel Neithercut, of Flint, and Mrs. Floy Robinette, of 
Chesaning.  Mr. Gerow passed away October 21, 1892.

She was united in marriage March 22, 1903, to his brother, Allen Gerow, and 
Mrs. Doris Empey was born of this union.  Allen Gerow died September 8, 1934.

Mrs. Gerow fell at her home on December second and fractured her hip.  She 
never recovered from this accident, and due to her advanced years and failing 
health was unable to rally from the shock.

Mrs. Gerow has been an active member of the church her entire adult life and 
at the time of her death was a member of the Clare Methodist church.  She was 
also an Honorary member of the Women’s Society of Christian Service of the 
church and a member of Zenobin Chapter No. 129, Order of the Eastern Star.

She will be greatly missed by her many friends as she always had a cheerful 
smile and was patient and uncomplaining.

She leaves to mourn her loss her three daughters, one granddaughter and five 
grandsons, two of whom are in the service of their country.  She also leaves 
one sister, Mrs. Mayme Richmond, of Regina, Sask.; one brother, Clinton 
Hampton, of Nelsonville, Ohio; and several nieces and nephews.

Funeral services were held from the Clare Methodist Church at 2:00 (CWT) 
Monday afternoon, with Dr. John H. Hall officiating and interment made in 
Cherry Grove Cemetery.
