The people were shocked to hear late Thursday night of the sudden death of Mrs. Lloyd H. Clark at her home on West Summit street. About 9:30 o’clock neighbors heard her call, and when they entered the home she was having a convulsion from which she soon died. The doctor stated that uremic poisoning caused her death. Mr. Clark, who is a traveling salesman for the Winterset Monument Co., was at Derby at the time of his wife’s death.

Mrs. Clark was born and raised in Madison county. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. V. F. Taylor, and has resided in Winterset since her marriage to Mr. Clark, four years ago. She is survived by her husband, two daughters, Constance and Colleen, her father and mother, and three sisters and two brothers.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. F. Clare McCallon at the Church of Christ Sunday afternoon. More details of her life may be found in the mortuary column.
