Taylor County Democrat (Bedford, Iowa), Thursday, August 10, 1893, p. 4
Obituary – After a long and painful illness, the death angel laid his cold and icy arms calmly but irresistibly around the deceased Eleanor A. [nn] Powell Clark, and on Aug. 6, claimed her as his own, but despite his mighty power her spirit rests in the sweet repose of a loving Savior, Who holds the keys of the unseen world, and Who hath declared, "Whomsoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." She died in the triumphant faith of her Master and Lord, having made a profession of the Christian religion at the early age of 13 years, uniting with the Baptist church. She has been a member of the Christian church for more than 30 years, which represents her faith at the time of her death.
Deceased was born near Dayton, O., Oct. 29, 1820, and came to Iowa in 1848. Aug. 14, 1851 she was united in marriage to Benj. D. Clark, and to this happy union were added eight children—two boys and six girls—two of which, Maria and little Frank, some years ago crossed the Jordan of death, to await the arrival of their mother. The rest of the children with their father and many sympathetic friends and neighbors mourn her departure. She was a generous-hearted neighbor, a kind mother, a true and substantial friend, a loving companion, and an exemplary Christian.
The funeral services were conducted by the writer at the Maple Grove church in the presence of a very large and attentive audience, selecting as a basis of thought Acts IX, 30: "this woman was full of good works and alms deeds which she did."

Inscription
Mother thou art gone to rest
And this shall be our prayer,
That when we reach our journey end
The glory we may share.
