ISOM OBITUARIES, Henry County, Missouri ==================================================================== ISOM, Elora Meria CLANIN 1917 - 1992 Elora Meria Isom was the sixth of seven daughters born to Mannford and Nora Clanin. Born into this world on August 22, 1917, in Temple, Oklahoma, she grew up in the Valley Center area near Lowry City. She lived in Drumwright, Oklahoma, for 43 years before moving to Clinton in early 1987 with her husband, Charles Jarrett Isom, who died on February 13, 1987. She passed away Saturday, March 14, 1992, at the golden Valley Memorial Hospital. She was a member of the Christian Church of Clinton, being particularly active in the Monday sewing program. She also was a member of the Clinton Newcomers Club and the Clinton Senior Center. During her 74 years on earth, she enriched many lives with her love and friendship. So her death marks those who cared for her with a distinct sense of loss and emptiness. Nowhere is this more felt than in those family members who survive her: her two daughters, Charlotte Elgin of Buckner, and Dorothy Farmer of Bates City; her six sisters, Thyra Clutter of ElDorado Springs, Verna Bourland of Appleton City, Pauline Bourland of Lowry City, Coleca Walker of Raytown, Loleta White of Lone Jack and Mildred Roberts of Kansas City, and her four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held Tuesday, March 17, 1992, at the Vansant-Mills Funeral Home at 11 a.m. with the Rev. Howard L. Cupp officiating. "Mother" and "How Great Thou Art" were sung by David L. Mills and Peggy Arthur and Mrs. Arthur was at the organ. Pallbearers were Jerry Farmer, David Beyer, Phillip Elgin, Rusty Huff, Scott Cutshall and Jim Cook. Burial was held at the Englewood Cemetery in Clinton under the direction of the Vansant-Mills Funeral Home. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
