MRS. F. TRENERY
EARLY SETTLER
TAKEN BY DEATH
Came to LeMars To Live
When Town Was In Its Infancy
ACTIVE IN COMMUNITY
Prominent in Church and Social
Work Many Years
Friends in LeMars were notified Wednesday of the death of Mrs. C. L. Trenery
at Omaha, Neb., where she had been staying of late with her son, Dr. F. S.
Clarke. Mrs. Trenery had been in failing health for some time and death was
due to a general breakdown of her constitution. She was 80 years of age.
Mrs. Trenery was an early settler in LeMars coming here when a girl from
Prairieville, Wis., where she was born May 22, 1853. Her maiden name was
Fidelia Sweetland and her parents came to LeMars about the time the town of
LeMars was established. She was married to George Clarke, a pioneer
attorney, who was associated with the late H. C. Curtis. Clarke street, now
Second Avenue, was named in his honor. Mr. Clarke died a few years after
their marriage, and she later married C. L. Trenery, a well known business
man of LeMars for many years.
Mrs. Trenery was intimately associated with the life and growth of LeMars
and no history of the town would be complete without her name. She was
active in community circles, club life and in church work. She was a member
of the Congregational church and one of the most ardent supporters and
workers. She took an interest in public life and was for several years a
member of the LeMars school board.
Mrs. Trenery was admired and beloved not only in her immediate environment,
but among younger generations who appreciated her kindliness and worth.
Many people who have known her all their lives offer a tribute to her life
and memory.
She is survived by two sons, Dr. F. S. Clarke, of Omaha, Neb., and Frank
Trenery, of Los Angeles, Calif. She also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Chris
Koehler, of Hastings, Neb., and Mrs. M. Ryan, of Portland, Oregon.
The body was brought here for burial and services will be held this Friday
afternoon at the Luken mortuary and interment made in the city cemetery.
