The Lake Odessa Wave, Thursday, December 1, 1927
The many friends of Mrs. Anne Clarke were much surprised to learn of her death 
last week Tuesday.  The Clarks lived in Lake Odessa many years where the 
father, Frank Clark, was postmaster a number of terms and the children of the 
family were students of the high school here.  Mrs. Clarke was a Tupper before 
marriage and this family was one of the original families of this village.  
The funeral was held at Hastings but burial was at Lake Side cemetery here.

Anne Tupper was born in Odessa township, Ionia County, Michigan, April 4, 1854 
and passed away November 20th, 1927, aged 73 years, 7 months and 16 days.  She 
was the daughter of Benjamin R. and Harriette Tupper.  She was married April 
13, 1873 to Frank W. Clark.  To this union four daughters were born and are 
all living and were at her bedside during her last sickness and passing, 
Florence Lepard, Zella Olmstead, Josie Koch and Greta Perkins.  She leaves 
besides the four daughters, her husband, four son-in-laws, nineteen grand 
children, one great grand child, two brothers, one sister, and a host of near 
and dear friends to mourn the loss of a faithful, true and devoted wife and 
mother.  Her home was always a welcome place for her children and friends.

She was a devout Christian woman who lived her religion every day and the last 
few years of her life were devoted to reading her Bible and laboring for her 
Lord and Master whom she loved dearly.  Her four daughters and her father’s 
whole family were born and raised on the old farm now forming the north part 
of the village of Lake Odessa, Michigan.
