OBITUARY OF MRS. BORN

Clara Sowers was born in Story county, Iowa, Sept. 10, 1874, and died of pneumonia following influenza at her home in Canby, Minn. Jan. 25, 1919. She was united in marriage to H. N. Born, Jan. 20, 1896. To them was born five sons and three daughters--Sgt. Howard L. Born, now stationed at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., Marie, Hugh, Margie, Burniss, Paul, and baby Clara Jane, four weeks old, all at home, besides Herbert who died in infancy. Besides her immediate family she leaves a father, mother, three brothers and three sisters and many sincere friends to mourn her loss. Private funeral services were held at the home January 26 at 2:30, and the body laid to rest in the Canby cemetery.

We cannot say and we will not say that she is gone, she just went away with a tender smile and wave of the hand. She has wandered into an unknown land and we know the land must be very fair where she has gone for she lingers there.
