Ionia Standard – Friday, 19 February 1906
Mrs. E. O. Clark, one of the pioneers of Ionia County, died at Lansing Friday 
night, after an illness of several months.  She was a daughter of “Deacon” Wm. 
Babcock, and a sister of Mrs. F. M. Barter of this city, who was with her at 
time of death.  Her husband was formerly in business here, and died many years 
ago.  For several years decedent has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. L. 
E. Rowley of Lansing.  A son also survives, Edward who is traveling for a 
Detroit house.  Mrs. Clark was one of those motherly women, whose kindness of 
heart, readiness of service, sweet spirit, and general intelligence, made her 
a great favorite with a wide circle of friends, and her departure will bring a 
mournful feeling to many hearts in this city and vicinity.

Funeral services were held at Lansing.  The remains were brought here, 
arriving by noon train Monday, for interment in Balcom cemetery, beside those 
of husband.
