It is our sad duty this week to chronicle the death of one of Taylor township's best and most highly esteemed wives and mothers, Mrs. Michael Clark, who passed away Saturday evening after an illness of several years. Deceased was sixty-three years of age. She was a great sufferer but bore her affliction with true Christian fortitude and while she would have been pleased to have been spared to her family and friends she was not afraid or unprepared to meet her Maker and went to her reward in the full hope of a blessed immortality. She is survived and mourned by an aged husband, three daughters and a son. Funeral from Paint Rock church Tuesday morning after Solemn Requiem High Mass. May her soul rest in peace.
