AGNES CLARK of Winterset Dies

Mrs. Agnes E. Clark, a resident of Madison County nearly all of her life, died at the Restorium in West Des Moines, Monday March 13, 1950, after an extended period of failing health. She was 72 years of age.

Mrs. Clark was the former Agnes E. Smith, and was a native of Kansas. When she was two years of age, she came with her parents to Madison County.

They settled near St. Charles, where her early life was spent.

As a young woman she was married to James Donahue, of the Irish settlement. They were the parents of one daughter, who is now Mrs. Paul Oneal of Winterset. The husband and father was killed in a farm accident nine years after their marriage.

Her second marriage was to Ivor Clark of this community. They made their home on a farm near Winterset for many years. They were the parents of two sons, Wallace Clark, who now lives in Long Beach, Calif., and Lieut. George Clark, who died when the U.S. army airplane on which he served crashed during the recent war.

In addition to her children, Mrs. Clark is survived by one grandson; and five brothers and sisters, Mrs. Susie Olson, Mrs. Lizzie Johanson, and Robert, Alexander and Julius Smith, all of San Francisco, Calif.

Funeral services were held this Wednesday morning from St. Joseph's Catholic church in Winterset, in charge of the pastor, the Rev. J. J. Judge. Burial was made in St. Patrick's cemetery in Lee township.
