    PIONEER VERDE RESIDENT DIES
     Cottonwood, Feb 23 - (special) with the burial of Mrs. Claire 
Hemler in Cottonwood Cemetery Sunday, February 21, a third member 
of a pioneer family was placed at rest beside her father-in-law, 
Joseph J. Hemler who was buried there along side of his father-in-
law, Mr. Spray. Mr. Spray, who came through Arizona in 1876 with 
his family and including Mrs. J. J. Hemler and Nancy Spray, her 
sister, made a second visit to Arizona in 1917 and remained with 
the J. J. Hemler family until he passed away nearly 20 years ago.  
August 11, 1935 Joe Hemler was laid to rest beside him and Sunday 
Claire Emily Hemler , wife of Thomas Benjamin Hemler was placed 
beside him.  Beside being related to Mr. Spray, Mrs. Joe Hemler 
and sister Nancy are first cousins to Mr. Mulholland who lived 
for over 25 years in the valley near Camp Verde.    Funeral 
services for Mrs. Clarie Hemler were held at the Community 
Church in Clarkdale, Ariz. Thomas B. Jones ably delivered the 
sermon in which works of condolence and cheer were given to 
lighten the burden of those surviving.  Following arrival at 
the graveside the ritualistic services of the Ladies Auxiliary 
of the Moose Chapter 336, Clarkdale were impressively performed.  
The services were terminated by T. B. Jones.   Mrs. Claire Hemler 
had been a victim of influenza and pneumonia and was on the high 
road to recovery when on February 17 in the afternoon she suddenly 
passed away.  Her heart, apparently unable to perform further after 
the severe strain of the malady, ceased to beat. The many varied and 
beautiful floral offerings and the large concourse following the 
hearse to the grave mute evidence of the love and esteem in which 
Mrs. Hemler was held in the Verde district.  The pall bearers chosen 
from the American Legion and friends of the family were C. V. Case, 
John Bower, Jean Sullivan, August C. Honsohn, H. A. Arnold, and 
William Roberts.              
Claire Emilie Hemler was born September 21st. 1902, in Paddock 
Township, Otter Tail County, Minnesota.  September 15, 1924 she 
was married to Thomas Benjamin Hemler.  The couple joined Mr. 
Hemler's parents and family in Verde District in 1928 and they 
have resided in Cottonwood, Clarkdale and rural vicinity ever 
since. At the time of her demise, Mrs. Hemler was living at 
their home 506 Main Street in Clarkdale.   She leaves to mourn 
her loss, her husband Thomas Benjamin Hemler, a son Joseph Hemler, 
her parents, E.O. Grant and Frieda Grant; three brothers, Wayne F. 
Grant, Stanley Grant, and Verne Grant, and four sisters, Mrs. Grace 
Fullerton, Mrs. Pearl Hemphill, Mrs. Violet Hemphill, and Elsie 
Grant all residents of Sebeka, Minnesota. The only members of her
