Death of Mabel Skattebo-Clemenson

Mrs. Mabel Skattebo-Clemenson was born Sept. 21st, 1886 and died April 9th, 1911. She was married Dec. 22nd, 1909 to Clarence Clemenson and to this union one child was born, a baby girl, March 30th 1911.

She always seemed cheerful and happy and had a pleasant smile for everyone. Her death was a shock to her friends, as it was thought she was getting better. We extend our sympathy to the heart-stricken husband and parents, sisters and brothers. It seems hard to think she should be taken just in the prime of youth. But hard for us to understand. But some distant day we may. The funeral was held Wednesday at the Riverside church where she was laid to rest in the church yard cemetery.

Dearest Mabel, thou has't left us, and our loss we deeply feel, But it's God who has't bereft us, He can all sorrows heal.
