Mrs. Amanda McClear, wife of the late Thos. McClear of Brooklyn Township,
Green County, Wis., died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Hattie L. Blunt
on Jan. 10, 1908, at 4:45 a.m. aged 59 years. Mrs. McClear had been a great
sufferer of cancer of the bowels for some months past.

Mrs. McClear was born in Schoharie County, N. Y. April 6, 1839 and was
married to Thos. McClear in 1857. They resided in Berlin, Wis., for a few
years but the last thirty-five years of Mrs. McClear's life has been spent
on a farm near Dayton, Wis. The husband was called to the Heavenly Home on
March 1, 1890. Two months ago the deceased was removed to the home of her
daughter in this city, and all that loving hands could do was done to
relieve her suffering and make her last days on earth peaceful.

She leaves five children to mourn her departure-- Charles Henry McClear of
Alliance, Neb.; Robert James McClear and Mrs. Charlotte DeRemer of Brooklyn
Township and Mesdames Josephine Broughton and Hattie L. Blunt of his city.
Also one sister, Mrs. Sarah Nye, of Plover, Iowa.

In compliance with the wish of the mother, the remains were taken to the
old home on Sunday morning, Jan. 12th and on Monday morning at 10 o'clock
funeral services were held in the Dayton Catholic church; the last sad
rites were conducted by Father J. Peschong, priest of the Parish and the
body was interred in the family lot in the Catholic cemetery at Dayton.
Undertaker W. F. Biglow had charge of the remains.
