Obit from Diane Courrier Kahl:
Mrs. C. F. Sydow:
Clara Sydow, daughter of Gottlieb and Anna Goettel, was born near Lansing, Iowa, June 25, 1875. She was converted when eleven years of age. She married Rev. Christian F. Sydow, April 27, 1898. During the next 24 years she was the faithful companion of the parsonage, sharing the problems, trials and joys of the Christian ministry, giving herself in devotion to her family and her Christ. Together they served the following fields in the Minnesota Conference. Maple Grove, Pipestone, Redwood, Rice Lake, Kenyon, Preston. In 1922 they retired from the active work and made their home in Blue Earth, where she continued to be interested in all phases of the church's work. She taught the young ladies' class in Sunday school for many years, and worked faithfully in the Woman's Missionary Society and Ladies' Aid.
Her companion died in 1935. The home was continued for a number of years after this, until failing health made it necessary for her to be relieved of this responsibility. The last years were spent in the home of her youngest daughter. When it became evident to her that this would be her final earthly home, she transferred her membership to the Rice Lake church. The summons came to her July 16, 1943, and she slipped away to the other world. She was a patient and cheerful sufferer, bearing, at times, severe pain without a murmur. Her Savior was very real to her. She was ready and waiting to meet him. Four daughters and 2 sons, 3 sisters, and 2 brothers, 2 step-children, and 20 grandchildren survive.
Funeral services were held from the Blue Earth church, Faribault County, July 19, with the undersigned, pastor at Rice Lake, in charge, assisted by Rev. J. G. Heidinger, D. S., and Rev. H. E. Hiller, pastor at Blue Earth. Ministers of the Minnesota Conference were pallbearers. Interment was in the Riverside Cemetery at Blue Earth. R. E. Marks
