Her devotion to her family was exemplary. No hour of the day found her unemployed and up to the very day of her last illness, she was doing what her hands could find to do, that she might render a faithful account of her stewardship. Her children rise up and call her blessed, knowing that it was for them that she lived and labored.
She died a triumphant death, resting secure on the promises of God, Monday July 27 at the ripe age of 84 years. There remain to mourn her loss seven children, Oliver Clark of Sacramento, Freeman and Thomas of Nevada, Charles Edward.
