The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, April 15, 1909 On Wednesday, March 31, 1909, at her home west of Melrose, occurred the death of MRS. CLARK KIMLER. She had been sick for several weeks but her condition was not considered serious until a few days before her death, and her death came as a shock to her many friends. MRS. KIMLER was born and raised in Lucas County. She was the daughter of MR and MRS. EDWARD CLARK. She was united in marriage to CLARK KIMLER about ten years ago, who with their six small children survive to mourn their loss The funeral services were held Friday morning at St. Patrick's Church, Requiem High Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Brownrigg, who also preached a most touching sermon. The funeral was largely attended by friends and neighbors and indicated the high esteem in which the deceased was held. Her death removes from the community a character, the like of which is seldom met. Her sunny disposition endeared her to all. Her life was spent in the care of her little family. She leaves besides her husband and children, her father and mother and brothers and sisters, to mourn their loss. They all have the heartfelt sympathy of their numerous friends. Their deep grief is assuaged by the conviction that the loved one, so near and dear to them, left behind a name untarnished, and a record for pure right living, that is more lasting than fame and more precious than gold. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert June 16, 2005 iggy29@rnetinc.net
