Death Of Mrs. J. M. Clark
Pittsburg Gazette   29 March 1905

     Pittsburg was shocked Saturday morning to learn of the death of one of
her most estmable and lovable women-Mrs. J. M. Clark, which occurred at eight
o'clock Friday night.  Mrs. Clark had been sick about five weeks, having been
taken with an erysipelas affection, from which she afterwards suffered a
relapse.  While ina fair way to recover from this, pneumonia seized her about
a week before her death and all that medical science and tender and loving
care of family and friends could do was brought to bear, but with no avail.
     Funeral services were conducted at the family home Saturday afternoon by
Revs. J. T. Smith, E. L. Shettles and R. A. Morris, after which the
procession--one of the longest ever seen here--moved to the city cemetery and
all that was mortal of this splendid woman was tenderly lowered to its last
resting place.
     Throughout the sad rites every eye attested in tearful sorrow to the
universal love entertained for the deceased.  Every attribute of her character
was all that could have been desired by family, friends or church.  She was
queen of her home, the best of neighbors and a true friend to Earth's
unfortunate.  The world can ill-afford to lose such a character, but it is
better for having felt the influence of her life.
