After fourteen months of patient suffering Mrs. S. W. Summers answered the summons of death and went to be with her Redeemer on March 9, 1925, being at the time of her death aged 70 years, 1 month and 16 days.

Rosa Hall was the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Hall and was born January 21, 1855, at Hallsville, Ill. She was united in marriage to Samuel W. Summers June 1, 1876. To this union were born two daughters Mrs. Dave Bell and Mrs. Earl Smith of Clarion. These with the husband three brothers and one sister, remain to mourn her loss. While yet a girl she confessed her faith in Christ and became a member of the Church of Christ. When the church was organized at Clarion Mrs. Summers became a charter member and gave of her best thought and prayers for its progress. Mr. and Mrs. Summers came to make their home in and near Clarion some forty-three years ago and few people have formed more friends.

Funeral services were held at the Church of Christ Thursday afternoon, conducted by Rev. T. T. Holton of Bloomfield, Ill., assisted by her pastor Rev. H. L. Lewis. In performing this last service Rev. Holton recalled the fact that he took the confession of Mrs. Summers when a girl and later officiated at her marriage to Mr. Summers. Interment was in Evergreen cemetery.
