Funeral of Mrs. J.W. McLean
The funeral service for Mrs. J.W. McLean, who died suddenly Monday afternoon, was held at the Federated Church Wednesday afternoon and was conducted by the pastor, Dr. Albert Wilson. Members of Chapter N of the P.E.O. Sisterhood and also out of town friends who are members of the sisterhood sat in a group in the center of the auditorium. Mrs. McLean had been active in the P.E.O. for many years and had served as state president and state organizer in Missouri.
A quartet composed of Mesdames Conrad Ottinger and Clifford Henderson and Messrs. E.F. Allison and C.A. Greene sang the twenty third Psalm and "O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go," by George Matheson. Mrs. Cosby C. Johnson played the organ accompaniment.
Dr. Wilson, preceding the sermon, read the following tribute to Mrs. McLean:
Sophia Powers was born February 27, 1865, at Edginton, Illinois. She spent the greater part of her girlhood in that vicinity. When fifteen years of age in company with her parents she moved to Burlington Junction, Mo. After attending college at College Springs, Iowa, she taught school for several years. While in college she met Joseph Wilson McLean, who was also a student there, and on February 23, 1887, the young couple were united in marriage. Mr. And Mrs. McLean started a business in College Springs, Iowa, and remained there until 1899 when they came to Hamilton, Mo. It was soon after their marriage that the young couple affiliated with the United Presbyterian Church of College Springs, later transferring their membership to the First Presbyterian Church of Hamilton, of which church Mrs. McLean was a faithful member until the time of her death.
Her passing came as a great surprise to her family and friends, and yet we all feel glad to know that when called upon to enter into her rest she went as quietly and peacefully as a child falls asleep at the end of a day of great activity. Those who knew her best can truthfully say:
"She was a woman who lived her life with a childlike zest;
A woman who had a heart for all things human;
And well she loved the world, but she loved best
Whenever in the world was loveliest."
We shall always be able to think of Mrs. McLean as one who was an ornament to her sex; one who was a glory to womanhood and motherhood. The Federated Church of Hamilton is appreciative of her life and influence, and I feel that we have no right to mourn her going only as we mourn the loss of all things that have been helpful and inspiring.
She has entered into her reward; she is to receive the hands of the Great Father the gift of immortality, and the very knowledge of this should be compensation to us for her loss. The gate of the city of her faith has opened, and today she is experienced, but a beginning. She leaves to mourn her loss, besides her husband Joseph Wilson McLean, one son, Menzie, and a grandson Menzie; two sisters, Mrs. Rose Titterington, of Rock Island, Illinois; and Mrs. Florence Simmons, Loveland, Colorado. Present at the funeral are two out of town guests, Thomas McLean of Kansas City, brother of J.W. McLean; and Miss Adria Titterington of Des Moines, Iowa. Mrs. McLean passed away about 4:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, aged 70 years, 11 months and 1 day.
