_____Mrs. Floyd Klever died at her home in Pilot Township at 1:30 am on Wednesday, September 27, after an illness that covered a period of a few weeks. Early in the summer her health began to go into a decline and her first baby was born on August 24th, and from this period the decline was rapid. The baby is being cared for at the parental Jones home.
Opal Viola Jones, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Evan W. Jones, was born in Williamsburg July 24, 1905. She attended the Williamsburg public school and was graduated from the high school with the class of 1922.
February 12, 1923, she was united in marriage to Mr. Floyd Klever and the home was made on the old Klever homestead in Pilot.
All the days were bright; all the years were full of promise, when suddenly the great shadow fell across the young wife’s path. Her first born came to bless and charm the home but a few weeks ago, and from this time the mother’s condition was such as to turn hope into a fading phantom. The end came peacefully and sorrow deep reigns in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
