- Harriet Ellen CLARKE, daughter
of Charles and Lula RAYMOND CLARKE, was
- born at Berlin, WI, Jan. 14, 1899,
and died in Mercy Hospital at Janesville, WI, Jan. 13, 1929,
being one day less than 30 years old.
- Most of her life was spent at Milton
Junction, WI. Here at the age of 12 she was
- baptized and united with the Seventh
Day Baptist Church, where she maintained her membership until
her death.
- On Oct. 19, 1920, she was married to
Herbert Elmer GRAY. To them were born
- three children: Charles Elmer, Paul
Eugene, and Joyce Harriet. She was a devoted homemaker and mother.
Her home was at once her chief care and her main joy. Her departure
is the first break in the home ties of eight short years, and
the surviving husband and little children will miss a hand at
the helm.
- She is further survived by a brother,
Perl Henry CLARKE of Castle Rock, CO, and
- two sisters, Mrs. Retta SPAULDING
of Neilsville, WI, and Mrs. Marie SCOTT of St. Louis,
MO.
- Farewell services were conducted by
her pastor, Rev. John Fitz Randolph in the
- church Jan. 16, 1929. Interment was
made in Milton Junction cemetery. [Vol. 106, No. 4, pp. 126-127]
