The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, May 13, 1909

CLARA BLUE, daughter of MR. and MRS. JOHN BLUE, pioneer residents of Lucas
County, was born July 15th, 1841, in Knox County, near Galesburg, Ill. She
was married to THOMAS MCMASTERS, in 1862, who departed this life twenty-one
years ago. They were the parents of six children, three of whom are living
and three have passed beyond the grave. Those who are left to mourn the
loss of a kind and affectionate mother are CHARLES S., of Cincinnati; LULA B
and MRS. MAY BLANCHARD, of this city.

She had been in declining health for several months past, but was confined
to her bed only a few weeks. She died Sunday evening at 8 o'clock, death
resulting from cancer of the liver. MRS. MCMASTERS was an earnest Christian
and her life was spent in doing good for those about her.

Funeral services were held at the home Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
conducted by her pastor, Rev. W.S. McCullagh, of the Presbyterian Church,
and the remains interred in the Chariton Cemetery. On account of the
delayed arrival of her son CHARLES, the consignment did not take place until
Wednesday forenoon. Many friends extend sympathy to the bereaved family.
