Mrs. Marvin Clark died, Friday P. M., after a lingering illness of three years. In her death, the community looses one of its oldest settlers.

Mrs. Clark was born in Canada 54 years ago. When a year old, her parents moved to New York and a year later to Iowa. Here Mrs. Clark lived until her marriage to Mr. Clark at Waukon, Ia., in 1871. They came directly to Minnesota to the present home, where they have lived for more than thirty years.

Mrs. Clark has been in poor health for some time, and very poorly at times for the last three years. She was a great sufferer in all her sickness, but thru it all, was brave and patient, hoping and anxious to the very last, to recover her health, that she might be a comfort to her husband in their declining years. But it was not thus to be, and in her death the community looses a good neighbor, the sons and daughters a kind mother and the husband a true and faithful wife. The respect in which Mrs. Clark was held, was shown by the large attendance of friends and neighbors at the last service.

The funeral was held Sunday P. M. at the Lyle Center school house. Rev. Ralph, of the Universalist Church of Osage, officiating. The interment was in Woodbury Cemetery.
