- Thursday morning, January 30, Mrs.
Albert CLARKE [nee Elvira Annabella
- GREENE],
mother of Dr. Ella CRANDALL, passed quietly away at her
home in Milton. Indeed, so quietly did the end come, it was like
the falling asleep of a child.
- Mrs. CLARKE was born and raised
in Scott, N.Y., and always lived there till 1888,
- she with her husband moved to Milton
to be near their daughter Ella.
- Mrs. CLARKE has been a quiet
woman. Hers has been a life of quiet useful service.
- She enjoyed very much the society of
the friends with whom she became acquainted.
- The thought of death had for her no
terror as was shown by a remark she made but a
- few days before her departure. When
speaking of her son Charles whose death occured about six years
ago, she said, "Only think he has gone but a little before
and is waiting for me."
- A husband and three daughters are left
to "wait a little longer."
- Burial services were held at the late
residence Sabbath afternoon, Feb. 1. Thoughtful
- hearts and loving hands had beautified
the house with flowers and plants. A large concourse of people
gathered and all were made comfortable because of the thoughtful
arrangements.
- Another home is broken. Another wife
and mother has gone. Yet while earthly ties
- are so quickly broken, may all meet
upon the eternal shore. [Wednesday, p. 1]
