Obituaries of Monroe Co., OH March 17, 1926 Clara Elizabeth NORRIS Jefferies, daughter of George G. and Mary E. Norris, first saw the light of day some three miles southeast of Woodsfield, Oh having been born July 14, 1866. She is of a family of nine children, four daughters and five sons. The father died about 15 yrs ago, also two of the girls and two boys preceded the subject of this sketch to the Realms Eternal. The mother now living inthe very shadows of the evening of life is still here as is one sister, Miss Anna S. Norris and three brothers: Charles T., Clement L., and George G. Norris, all of this community. Hence, the mother and four children are here and the father and five children are "at home over there". On April 8, 1888, Clara E. Norris was united in the bonds of wedlock to James L. JEFFRIES. Three children came to bless and brighten this home, all of whom with the husband and father are living. They are: Mrs. Vera Haney, of Adena, Oh; Ray of Martins Ferry, Oh; and Miss Elizabeth of the home. Something more than 25 yrs ago Mrs. Jeffries gave her heart and life to Jesus the Christ and was baptised by Ben J. Elston. From this time on, she has been a member of the Church of Christ, of Woodsfield. Our sister was in nature very reserved, even to the point of timidity, but at the same time was always kind and affable. She was one of those precious jewels that God calls a "keeper of home". She loved the House of God and she loved her home and family. She honored God in gracefully and faithfully discharging her duties in her four-fold relation of daughter, sister, wife & mother. After a long weary, bitter struggle with a disease that baffled the skill of physicians, our sister peacefully "crossed the bar," at her home on Eastern Ave, at 10:45 pm on Friday, March 12th. Had she lived until next July she would have been 60 yrs of age. Of the immediate family she leaves a mother, a sister, three brothers, a husband, a son, and two daughters, a son-in-law and on little grandson, Jimmy. The funeral services conducted from the Jeffries home were largely attended. The regular minister, H.H. Adamson, assisted by Elder T.Q. Martin, were in charge. There was a profusion of floral offerings. Teh body was laid away in Oaklawn Cemetery. Among those from a distance in attendance at the funeral are Mr & Mrs F. W. Schneider and daughter Miss Anna, and Mrs A.J. Eddy, of Barnesville; Mrs. E.L. Shepard and Mrs Morton Wilson, of Martins Ferry, O; James Norris, of Glen Robin, O; Laird Norris, of Salem, O; Mrs. W.H. Rankin, of Shadyside, O; Mrs. William Blowers, of Beallsville, O; Mrs. F.H. Hargraves, Mr & Mrs M.L. Dennis & Dr. J.A. Haney of Adena, O; Miss Martha Hardesty of St. Clairsville, O; and Mr & Mrs. Fred Stover of New Matamoras, O Oct 4, 1947 Funeral services will be held at 2 pm Sunday at the Bauer & Turner funeral home in Woodsfield for Henry Holtsclaw, prominent farmer of north of Woodsfield, who died at 7 am Friday following an extended illness. The services will be in charge of Rev. William Miller, pastor of the Woodsfield Methodist church, and burial will be in Oaklawn cemetery. Mr. Holtsclaw is survived by two daughters, Miss Mary Holtsclaw and Mrs. Thomas Miller, both of the home; four sisters, Mrs. Olive JEFFERS, Woodsfiled, Route 5; Mrs D.J. Yoss, Woodsfield; Mrs. E.E.
