Finis L. McClure, the oldest son of Mr and Mrs. McClure died at the home
of his parents 4 miles south of Cassville, Feb. 8, 1908  at  10:20  a.m.
after a brief illness from the effects of pneumonia. He was born Nov. 2,
1857 and was 50 years, 3 months and 6 days old. He  was  converted  when
about 18 years of age. Thus Bro. McClure  complied  with  his  Saviour's
teaching wherein he teaches to "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his
righteousness and all these things shall be added to you."

He united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church and lived  a  faithful
christian life until the congregation was dissolved. Notwithstanding the
dissolution of the congregation, he never ceased to  exercise  faith  in
God.

Bro. Finis McClure was a good  citizen  and  a  kind  hearted  neighbor,
always ready to lend a helping hand to all who  were  afflicted  and  in
need. He leaves behind to mourn his loss an aged father and mother and a
number of brothers and sisters. But their loss is his gain for he is now
at rest.

The funeral was conducted at the residence of his father Sunday Feb.  9,
by A.K. Gurley in the presence  of  a  large  number  of  relatives  and
friends and his body was laid to rest in the Washburn Prarie cemetery.
