The Hastings Reminder, Saturday, January 31, 2009

Clare T. Eash, age 95, of Morrison Lake, passed away Monday, January 26, 2009 
at his home.  He was born in Bowne Township near Freeport on August 27, 1913 
to Abraham and Polly (Mishler) Eash the ninth of 11 children.  Clare attended 
the Logan School through the eighth grade at which time he left school to 
devote his time and effort to his parents and their farm.

He married Beryl A. Heller of Dutton on September 15, 1934.  Tragically Clare 
lost his left arm while working at his parents farm on the evening of December 
24, 1934.  Never one to make excuses or expect anything less than the best 
from himself he went on to be a successful farmer, serve on the Jennings 
School Board, and expand his farm as he and Beryl raised seven children.

After his retirement from farming Clare worked as a truck driver hauling logs 
to Buskirk Lumber in Freeport and worked at the lumber yard as well.  Later he 
began a new business supplying sawdust to dairy and horse farms, and shredded 
bark to local landscapers, businesses and private individuals across the 
state.  His home and all his possessions were lost in a fire in March of 2004, 
at which time he relocated to Morrison Lake and began true retirement. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, all 10 brothers, sisters and in-laws; 
his daughter, Sally Eash Ingall in 1990 and his beloved wife Beryl on January 
24, 2003.  He is survived by his children Patricia Sage of Winter Garden, 
Florida, Nancy and Jerald Cook of Wolverine, David and Peggy Eash of Alto, 
Georgia, John and Nancy Eash of Gun Lake, Judy and Ron Bjork of Clarksville 
and Susan and Fred Fulsher of Morrison Lake.

An announcement will be made regarding a memorial service in the spring.  The 
family
