ER SUFFERING OVER.
Miss Clara E. McMaster Falls Asleep at the Home of D. W. McMaster.
Mrs. Clara E. McMaster died at her home two miles east of town Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock. The funeral will occur from the same place at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, and the remains will be taken to the Lawrenceville Cemetery, there to be disposed for the last long sleep beside her mother and sisters in the family lot.
Clara E. McMaster was born in this same home Dec 12, 1850 and was 45 years of age at her death her father, D. W. McMaster, bought this land of the government 50 years ago and it has served as the family homestead ever since.
The mother died 27 years ago, and left Clara the oldest of a large family of children. She assumed the duties of housekeeper for father, and acted the part of a devoted mother to her younger brothers and sisters. She was a faithful, unselfish nature, never sparing herself in her care for others, or in her thoughtfulness for the comfort and welfare of those around her, even though for the past 10 years her health has been declining, and physical pain and suffering has often been her lost. She was not a member of any church, but leaned toward the Presbyterian. She organized, with the help of Henry W. Avery, a Sunday school in her neighborhood, which grew into a flourishing condition, until her ill-health obliged her to relinquish her efforts in that direction, much to her regret. Her sympathies were always on the side of right, and she strove to let her life show the value she placed on right living.
Disease had made such inroads upon her weak frame that it was found advisable to have an operation performed. It seemed for a short time as though the hopes of her friends would be realized, and her life would be spared to them. But she was obliged to have the second operation performed. Her malady had developed a cancerous nature. After intense physical suffering, borne with wonderful fortitude and cheerfulness, her spirit took its departure from its frail tenement of clay.
She leaves a father, two brothers, Albert T., of Iowa, Cephas H., and two sisters, Mrs. Benjamin Herbert, and Phosa L., of Belvidere, besides all who knew her and loved her for her noble nature.
