Clark, Hannah ( 13 JUN 1815 - 3 OCT 1885)
Died, at her home in Neillsville, Oct. 3rd, 1885, Mrs. Hannah
Clark, wife of W. F. Clark, aged 70 year, 3 months and 20 days.
Mrs. Clark was a native of Albany, N.Y. Although she had long been
a resident of Wisconsin, her permanent stay in Neillsville had been
only for the past three years. Having been in former years much
with her daughter, Mrs. Dr. J.C. Lacy, she had made many warm
friends in Neillsville previous to her coming here for a permanent
home.
Having been married 49 years ago, another year of prolonged life
might have realized the joys of a golden wedding. Of six children,
two remain in the land of the living: Mrs. E. L. Wright, of
Orfordville, Wis., and Mrs. Henry Myers, of Neillsville, Wis. Her
remains were taken to her old home at Orfordville for interment.
Brief funeral services were held at the residence on Monday
afternoon, Rev. W.T. Hendren of the Presbyterian Church,
officiating, in the absence of the pastor of the M.E. Church.
Her days of affliction were many and her suffering was most severe.
A cancer rooted itself in one side of her jaw and there remained
until its dreadful work was done. But during all her severe
illness, she was patient and hopeful, as well as joyful. In her
case the Gospel of Christ proved a sweet consolation. The Friend
whom she had trusted and honored in brightest days was with her in
the days of her anticipated departure. She had long been a member
of the M.E. Church, in whose embrace she died. The husband and
daughters have need, and will have abundant sympathy of numerous
friends in this community. But the sweetest consolation comes from
the thought that a dear one is forever at rest, free from the power
of sin and sorrow, disease and death.
