- Clara A. BARNHART, the eldest
child of Albert and Emily CLARKE
- BARNHART,
was born April 30, 1862, and died in Milton, March 9, 1908. The
mother and the father have been dead some years. Clara is the
first to follow them. She is survived by three sisters: Luella,
wife of L. L. BOSS, of Rock River, Harriet, wife of Geo.
SAUNDERS of Milton, and Florence, wife of Geo. O. SAYRE,
living on the homestead one mile and a half southeast of Milton;
and by one brother, George BARNHART, living on a farm
near Otter Creek. Clara has never been very strong, suffering
from childhood with asthma. Three or four years ago a slight
abrasion of the skin on one of her fingers resulted in blood
poisoning, from which she did not fully recover; finally a valvular
disease of the heart gradually completed the destruction of the
frail body. Her home for the greater part since the death of
her mother has been with the brother. A little more than a year
ago she came to the home of her sister, Mrs. SAUNDERS,
where she has received every attention which loving hearts could
devise and willing, skillful hands could execute. At the age
of fifteen years she professed faith in Christ and united with
the S.D.B. church in Milton, and has ever since maintained a
consistent Christian walk. More than half a year ago attending
physicians assured her that there was no possible hope of her
recovery, and the wasting malady, slowly sapping her vitality
was often most distressing, but no word or murmur of complaint
ever escaped her lips. So the love of God graciously sustained
her to the end, and gave her the victory.
- The funeral was held at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. SAUNDERS on Plumb Street on
- Wednesday afternoon, March 11, at 2
o'clock, conducted by Dr. Platts. Beautiful music was furnished
by a ladies quartet led by Mrs. J. F. WHITFORD, and the
one brother and three brothers-in-law, bore the body to its final
resting place in the Milton Cemetery.
- The family desire to make grateful
mention of the profound sympathy and unfailing
- helpfulness of their friends and neighbors
through the long months of this trying experience. [Thursday
