MC CLAIN, EUNICE
(15 Jul 1920, Sayre Standard, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
The passing of one of the county pioneer home builders was recorded last
Friday in the death of Mrs. Eunice McClain.  Mrs. McClain died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. C. M. Phillips in Hobart, Oklahoma.
The remains were brought here on the noon train last Sunday and taken to
Berlin for burial.  In attendance at the funeral were Mrs. Phillips, of
Hobart, and Mrs. J. B. Early of Norbon, Mo., who are daughters of the
deceased.  Mrs. Earley's (sic)  son accompanied her here.  N. E. McClain
of this city is a grandson and there are other relatives in the country
near Berlin.
Mrs. McClain, the wife of Newton McClain, deceased, came to Berlin with
their family twenty-four years ago being among the very first settlers in
this section of the country.  She was widely known by all the old-timers
in the county.  Her husband died several years ago and in recent years she
has been living with her children.  She was one who helped to bear the
hardships and toil of a new country and to make possible a livlihood in
what is now our wonderful country.  She is spoken of by those who knew her
as a noble and consecrated woman, one who loved home and God alike.
The funeral last Sunday was attended by several Sayre and Elk City people.
