- Sadie [Sarah] C. CLARKE, daughter
of Richard and Isabel CLARKE, was born in
- Milton, Rock Co., Wis., May 7, 1850,
and passed away in Ashland, Ore., September 3, 1911.
- She was converted and baptized in early
life and united with the Milton Seventh-day
- Baptist Church. She was educated in
the public schools of Milton and in Milton College. She taught
in the public schools until December 4, 1872, when she was united
with William H. HURLEY in marriage. They moved to Humboldt,
Neb., where they established their first home. After this they
lived at different places where there were churches of their
faith, till on account of the failing health of Mr. HURLEY
they moved West, where they have been for about twenty-five years.
The last twenty years they have lived in Talent, Ore.
- Over a year ago Sister HURLEY
began failing in health. Consulting physicians
- discovered a very rare disease in her
case, only a few like it being on record; this the only one this
side the Rocky Mountains. Its only name is that of its germ,
apergillus fumigatus.
- At the time Mrs. HURLEY passed
away she was a member of the Seventh-day
- Baptist Church of Riverside [CA]. She
has been a trustful follower of Christ since childhood, and wherever
she has gone her noble life has been a forceful recommendation
of her Master to all who know her. She has been a thoughtful
neighbor, a tender and loving mother, a devoted and helpful wife
and companion. She will be missed so much! Truly she will be
remembered lovingly by what she has done. Our prayers go to our
heavenly Father in behalf of those who are left to mourn.
- The funeral services of Mrs. HURLEY
were held in the Adventist church in Ashland,
- and at the cemetery at Talent, and
were conducted by her pastor E. F. Loofboro. E. F. L. [Vol.
