Mrs. Will Dugan – Margaret Jane, daughter of James and Jane Blair, was born near Clarinda, Iowa, July 13th, 1871 and died April 23, 1934 at the Brown hospital in Clarinda, Iowa, where she had been taken after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage on Thursday, April 20.

Until that time she had been about her duties as usual and her sudden demise was a shock to the entire community in which she was known as "Aunt Maggie" by a host of friends won by her unselfish life of loving deeds and kindly ministry to both young and aged.

She was reared in the Clarinda Covenanter Congregation and was active in service there until after her marriage Feb. 13, 1895 to Wm. A. Dugan of Coin, Iowa, when she became a member of the United Presbyterian church and was faithful and active in the work of her master and was a life member of the Women's General Society.

Wayne, Indiana, a number of nieces and nephews and a large company of friends who mourn her passing.

Mrs. Dugan loved the Master in whose name she did so many beautiful deeds and may her reward be— "Well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of Thy Lord."

The funeral services at Coin Monday afternoon were conducted by her pastor, Dr. A. L. Davidson of the United Presbyterian church. Burial was in Elmwood cemetery.

Mr. Dugan might truly be called one of our pioneers, coming to Iowa in 1868. He traveled part of the way by stage coach to the farm he later improved for his home. June 14th, 1870, he was united in marriage to Belletta [Bealletta] C. Brown, who preceded him in death fourteen years ago, after having spent 52 years of life together on the farm to which he had brought her as a bride. Three children came to bless this union. One son, W. A. Dugan of Coin, a daughter, Mrs. Belle Turner of Hayes Center, Nebr., and one daughter, Mrs. Etta Turner, who preceded him in death. He also leaves one grandson and a wide circle of friends. Of this immediate family all have passed on with the exception of an aged sister in Pennsylvania.

As a man Mr. Dugan's life was above reproach. He was just and honorable in all his dealings with his fellow men and as a pioneer had much to do with shaping the various enterprises of the community. He was a man of deep religious conviction and had great faith in prayer, repeating the Lord's Prayer a few minutes before his death. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church of College Springs, Ia., later transferring his membership to Coin United Presbyterian church of which he was a member. He was a member of the session of this church for many years, an office he still held at the time of his death. The past eleven years of his life were spent in the home of his son, Will, where he has been well cared for and where he passed away July Fourth.

The burial service of S. B. Dugan was conducted by Dr. Davidson in the W. A. Dugan home Monday at 10 a. m., July 6, 1936. The text of the funeral sermon was Ps. 112 6, "The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance." The pall bearers were Robert Reed, Robert Downing, Sam J. Allen, Clark Hart, J. F. Monzingo and W. A. Malone. The interment was in the Elmwood cemetery by the side of his wife where her body was laid fourteen years ago.

"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord . . . that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them." Rev. 14; 13.

Kate M.

Clarinda was her birthplace. Here she lived and set the example of a model Christian life. Here, too, she passed away, after a long illness, and now her mortal remains rest in the Clarinda city cemetery. Her funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at the Christian church, of which she was a member and was conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. T. Fisher, who among other things said at her funeral: "When about 18 years of age she united with the Christian church during a meeting conducted by Brother A. E. Corey. From the time she became a Christian until the hour of her death her faith in Jesus as the Son of God and her personal Savior never wavered for one moment. Few people possess a happier or more consistent Christian faith than she. She was an untiring worker in every department of the church's activity; the pastor's most earnest supporter and one upon whom he could always depend. He life among the younger members of the church was a quiet one, but always one of power and rich influence—an influence ever at work for Christ and His church. Her greatest desire was that all might enjoy to the fullest the faith as it is in Christ Jesus. So many were the times her voice announced and led in the singing of the beautiful lines, "Faith Is the Victory." Mr. Fisher read the hymn. He further said: "Very few young women are loved as our sister was loved by all ages—loved because of her real worth and her Christian character. As a daughter in the home she was full of love—obedient and considerate of the wants of all. She leaves a sorrowing father, mother, two brothers and one sister, and a great host of friends, to mourn her untimely departure. She went to her record [reward?] in the triumph of a living faith." Mr. Fisher used two texts at the funeral: Psalms, 116, 15—"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints;" and Revelations 14, 13—"Right blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." The choir sang the following four favorite hymns of the deceased: "Trust and Obey," "There is sunshine in my Soul," "Abide With Me," and "O Wait and Murmur Not."

"They Softly Walk"
They are not gone who pass
Beyond the clasp of hand,
Out from the strong embrace—
They are but come so close
We need not grope with hands
Nor look to see, nor try
To catch the sound of feet.
They have put off their shoes
Softly to walk by day
Within our thoughts, to tread
At night our dream-led paths of
   sleep.
They are not lost who find
The sunset gate, the goal
Of many faithful years.
Not lost are they who reach
The summit of their climb
The peak above the clouds and
   storms.
They are not lost who find the
    light of sun
And stars and God."
