That was the remarkably long life span of Aunt Clara Rathburn – nearly ninety- six years. Deceased was born in what is now Rutland township, on a farm just above the village of Rutland in a log cabin and spent all her life in the placid precinct. Most of her latter years were spent with her sister Elizabeth in a fine home in the village. A few years ago her sister passed away at the age of eight-four and left Clara alone in the world, except her two nephews, C. F. and M. E. Rathburn, who looked after her welfare with the fidelity of sons. These sisters attended a female seminary at Marietta from 1845-1848. Aunt Clara’s grandfather, Daniel Rathburn, came from near Hartford, Conn., with the two Higley families including Major and Lieut. Higley, and a brother-in- law, Judge James Phelps, and settled on Leading creek in 1803. Elisha Rathburn, a son of this New England pioneer, was then fifteen years of age. In good time he grew to manhood and married Mary (Polly) Giles, who came from Augusta, Maine. They had six children, one son and five daughters. The son was the late J. N. Rathburn. Clara was the oldest of the children and was the last to go to that good world we all seek. Her mother lived to be nearly ninety-eight years of age and her grandmother Rathburn was nearly ninety-nine years of age, making her a member of a long-lived family on both sides. Her father, Rev. Elisha Rathburn, minister in the Christian church, died August 8, 1869, age 80 years 1 month and 9 days. Aunt Clara was a public school teacher from 1840 to 1850. She numbered among her pupils some of the oldest residents of the township, two of those now mentioned being J. B. Holt and James Church. She was a kindly good woman and her influence for right living extended to the limits of her acquaintanceship. She never married and missed the pleasure of motherhood, but she got as much out of life as the average human being. He sister also lived her eighty-four years a single woman. Providence was kind to both of these old ladies. Aunt Clara was spared her natural faculties to the very last. She could hear as well as a young person and could see as sharply as a girl to the very last. Her mind was also clear and active to the very last hours. Her span of live covered a great space of American history – from pioneer days to the state of being the greatest Nation on earth. She was tenderly laid away beside her pioneer ancestors in Miles cemetery on Sunday April 2nd. The funeral took place from the old home, Rev. Donaldson officiating. A good woman has gone, who has left her mark in the world.
