CLARK, LILLIE
(11 Dec 1924, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
DIED.  Just as we go to press we learn of the death of Mrs. G. W. Clark,
nine miles west of Elk City.
(12 Dec 1924, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
The funeral services for Mrs. Lillie Clark, wife of George W. Clark, who
died December 9th, was held at the home nine miles west of Elk City,
yesterday morning, November 11th.  Rev. Wells of the Spring Creek
neighborhood preached the sermon and spoke many words of praise for this
noble woman whom he had known for over twenty years saying that he had
never heard a single word spoken against her.  C. C. Perry, Fay and Clyde
Perry and Mrs. John Darendinger sang "Asleep in Jesus," "Rock of Ages" and
"Nearer my God to Thee."  The floral offerings were many and beautiful,
and with the large attendance at funeral, showed the deep love and respect
her friends and acquaintances had for her.  Her body was laid to rest in
Fairlawn cemetery in Elk City.
Mrs. Clark was sixty years old just twelve days before her death.  She was
married to Mr. Clark in 1886 and leaves to mourn her loss, her husband,
and two children, Dale Clark and Mrs. H. B. Walker both of Doxey, and
several grandchildren.  She had been sick for some time suffering from
gall stone trouble.
The News Democrat feel a personal loss in the death of Mrs. Clark.  For
several years she had been our correspondent from Spring Creek community,
and her letters were always written in such good style, and her items were
of the very best.  We were always glad to receive her letters and knew
they were read with interest.  We have heard many speak of her goodness
and how good she had always been to the sick, and her greatest pleasure
was to do good and help those who needed help.  She was a true friend, a
lady of culture and refinement, and appreciated so much everything that
was done for her thanking all for any kindness they might do for her.  She
was always interested in the community and did so much to bring out the
best of everything and everybody in the district in which she lived.  She
was a member of the Presbyterian Church and was a consistent member, a
true christian and was a lovable character.
Her mission on earth is ended and the world is better for her having lived
in it.  The deepest sympathy of the News Democrat family is extended to
the bereaved ones.
