Mrs. Joseph Henderson
The death of the above personage at her home in Highland township last Monday proved a severe [unreadable] to her immediate friend and those who were related to this [unreadable] lady. She was a brief sufferer from the malady that has taken three of our people within a space of a week. She left a family of six small children and a husband in failing health; the family has been plunged into grief most bitter. The departed in life was kind, affectionate, and industrious, and as a neighbor and true friend was respected and admired by all for her many noble qualities of heart and mind.

Anna P. Clayton was born in the state of Pennsylvania, October 9, 1858. She removed to Canada at an early age. She was married to Joseph Henderson Feb. 17, 1887, with whom she removed to her O'Brien county home in the spring of 1891. Died Feb. 20, 1899; age, 40 years, 4 months and 11 days. Deceased was a member of the Society of Friends, commonly called Quakers, who live east of town. The funeral occurred Wednesday of this week at the Friends church and the remains were laid to rest in the burying ground of that denomination.
