Mrs. Julia M Clark Obit
This was found in an old "Signs of the Times".
Mrs. Julia M. Clark, widow of Elder John Clark, of Halcottville, Delware County, N. Y., was born Jan. 24th, 1842, and passed away from earthly scenes May 3rd, 1928, at the home of Mr. and Mrs J. E. Livingston, Cobleskill, N. Y., where she had gone April 21st for a visit and to attend the fifth Sunday meeting there. She was taken ill Saturday evening, April 28th. A doctor was soon called, but medical skill and loving care failed to restore her to health, and when her Master called, "Child, come home," she willingly obeyed, and without a gasp or struggle, as one going to sleep, she passed to the world beyond, which we believe was far better for her. Her body was taken to her late home in Halcottville on Friday, and funeral services were held from the Old School Baptist meetinghouse near the home May 7th, Elder George Ruston officiating, after which the body was laid to rest in the Halcottville Cemetery by the side of her late husband. Sister Clark, whose maiden name was Roberte, united with the second Roxbury Church, Roxbury, N. Y., in the year 1868, where she remained a faithful member until death. In 1870 she was united in marriage to Linus Webb and moved to Michigan, and in 1874 was left a widow with two little children, a little girl who died young and a boy, Victor L Webb, who survives. She soon returned to her father's home and in 1876 was married to John Clark, whose obituary appeared in the December "Signs" of 1922. Surviving are three sons, Victor, the one above mentioned, who lives in Little Rock, Ark, and who hastened here to attend his mother's funeral, Leverne Clark, of Margaretsville, N. Y., and Scott Clark, the youngest, living with his mother and kindly and lovingly caring for her, whose death he deeply feels.She is greatly missed by the church of her membership and the brethren and sisters of sister churches. Her house was ever open to the brethren and very convenient at times of meeting, but we believe our loss is her eternal gain and desire to be reconciled and say, Thy will, O God, be done, and not ours.
(Mrs) J. E. Livingston
