"The Milton Journal", Milton, Wisconsin, Wednesday, Feb. 12, 1896, p 1.

Thursday morning, January 30, Mrs. Albert Clarke, mother of Dr. Ella Crandall, passed quietly away at her home in Milton. Indeed, so quietly did the end come, it was like the falling asleep of a child.

Mrs. Clarke was born and raised in Scott, N. Y., and always lived there till 1888, she with her husband moved to Milton to be near their daughter Ella.

Mrs. Clarke has been a quiet woman. Hers has been a life of quiet useful service. She enjoyed very much the society of the friends with whom she became acquainted.

The thought of death had for her no terror as was shown by a remark she made but a few days before her departure. When speaking of her son Charles whose death occured about six years ago, she said, 'Only think he has gone but a little before and is waiting for me.'

A husband and three daughters are left to 'wait a little longer.'

Burial services were held at the late residence Sabbath afternoon, Feb. 1. Thoughtful hearts and loving hands had beautified the house with flowers and plants. A large concourse of people gathered and all were made comfortable because of the thoughtful arrangements.

Another home is broken. Another wife and mother has gone. Yet while earthly ties are so quickly broken, may all meet upon the eternal shore.
