Idas I. Clark Salmon was my great-grandmother's sister. Benjamin Perkins Clark and Mary Elizabeth "Bettie" Arnold Clark had 14 children. I'm trying to find obituaries for all of them. If you have information you'd like to share, please contact me. >From the Bethany Democrat 17 August 1905, page 1, column 1: Mrs. Ida Salmon, of near Matkins, died August 12 of consumption. She was buried at the neighborhood cemetery, near her home. >From the Bethany Democrat 24 August 1905, page 6, column 1: IDES INA CLARK Ides Ina Clark was born March 17th, 1887 and died August 12th, 1905, aged 18 years 4 months and 26 days. She was converted in a meeting conducted by Rev. Winn in 1900 and united with the M.E. church at Matkins at the time of her conversion, remaining a faithful member of the same until God called her home. She was united in marriage to George N. Salmon April 26th, 1905. How sadly she will be missed by husband, father, brothers and sister, but we should weep not as those who have no hope. We hope to meet her on a brighter shore, where sickness, sorrow and deaths are unknown. Her funeral was preached at the Matkins church Sunday, August 13th, by the writer, to a large concourse of relatives and friends, after which, the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the cemetery to await the resurrection of the just. L.W. Jones >From the Bethany Republican 17 August 1905, page 6, column 2: Mrs. George Salmon (nee Clark) died Saturday morning of that dread disease consumption. She had been sick a long time. Her funeral was preached Sunday by Rev. Jones, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Matkins cemetery. Mr. Salmon has the sympathy of the entire community, as does also the father and brothers and sisters of the deceased. Rob. Rob. Taylor Columbia, MO
