Mack, Clara

Miss Clara Mack
April 2, 1866-May 6, 1920


    The announcement of the passing away of Miss Clara Mack, will bring sorrow and sadness to many hearts, for she was universally beloved by old and young alike. So full of kindness and thoughtfulness--her life has been a beautiful lesson of unselfish devotion and loyalty to others and she will be sadly missed in all the organizations to which she belonged, as well as by all who were touched by her sweet life.
    Practically her whole life has been spent in Niles--a loyal member of St. John's church--and of the Charity society and in all of her associations, club life and neighborhood relationships, she has always conscientiously and faithfully done her part, for the betterment of mankind.
    We feel that lives like hers are needed here on earth--would that there were more like her--but God in His infinite wisdom knows best and has called her into a wider sphere which she is fully prepared to fill.
    Her illness was only of a few days' duration.  Last Friday afternoon she was taken suddenly ill while out with her friends and had gradually grown weaker, in spite of all the medical aid and loving care given her, until she passed peacefully away at 3:30 this morning at her home, 406 North Fourth street. She is survived by her mother and sister--Mrs. Frank Porter of Lansing--who, with her husband, were with her when the final summons came.
    She will be laid away in Silver Brook cemetery on Saturday.  Burial service will be private.
