Mrs. Charles Everett, consort of S.B. Everett on Monday the 10th on June, at the age of thirty years of childbirth.
It is our sad duty to chronicle the death of Mrs. Everett, it was sudden and unexpected, she was a Christian and devoted mother.
It was His will, who works in a mysterious way, that her life should be spared to give birth to twins, two little cherubs, and then in a very few hours, be taken away!
Mrs. Clarissa Everett, maiden name was Spees, and she was born in Oberlin, Loraine County, Ohio on March 31,1942.  At the tender age of two she was bereft of her mother, whose place was afterwards supplied by one who tenderly cared for and became attached to her the same as one of her own daughters.  At the age of fourteen she was struck by the Spirit under a deep conviction and sense of her duty to giver her heart to God and after a protracted struggle of several weeks she made a full surrender to Him, and has since lived an earnest worker for Christ.
At the age of twenty one she went as a missionary teacher among the freedmen of the South and for two years taught in Natchez, Miss. a large part of the time being Principal of a school of two hundred scholars.  This school was called by Mr. Langston, a model school.  After returning home she was afflicted with a fever, contracted during her stay in that climate.
Regaining her health, she had another call from the A.M. M.A. to Portsmouth,VA where she received a call to become the life partner of S.B. Everett, of Matamorma, Illinois, which she accepted, and most true and faithful she has ever been to the vows plighted on the 3rd day of September 1867.  After their marriage they lived awhile in Woodford CO. Illinois and from their they moved to Livingston, where they remained a year and a half.  From then they moved to Tabor, Fremont County, Iowa and they remained there the same length of time, and from Tabor came to this county.
