Comrade S.H. Clark Passes On After prolonged Sickness.
Comrade Silas H. Clary, aged 72, died this afternoon at 1:50 p.m., at his home on Walnut Hill after a long sickness extending over ten months with lung and heart trouble. For the past month, Comrade Clary has been somewhat better, and was down town several times in an auto lately. Sunday he felt quite comfortable and visited with friends and his two daughters, till bed time. He slept well, but at five o'clock he aroused and complained of feeling badly. Dr. Miller was called and it was found that a slight stroke of paralysis had made his left side helpless and impaired his speech somewhat. From then on till the hour of his death he failed rapidly and passed away at the hour stated. His daughters, Mrs. Etta Sprowl, and Mrs. George Clary, were with him. His nephew, Floyd Welsh, of Arkansas City, and son-in-law, George Clary of Tulsa, are enroute here. All has been lavished on him by his two faithful daughters, who have done all to make his comfortable and to prolong his life, but his time had come and he went out unafraid. A kind upright man, a good neighbor, a true citizen, has gone to his reward, and those who have lived beside him for all these years know that reward is good.
Peace to his noble soul.
Funeral arrangements will await the arrival of relatives.
