D. ALBERT CLYMER
Demise of Well Known Farmer of this Section
Dudley Albert Clymer, a well known farmer residing three miles northeast of Niles, passed away this morning at about 7 o’clock at the of Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Dick, 711 Oak street.
Mr. Clymer had long been a sufferer from heart disease and rheumatism. A short time ago he went to St. Joseph to take the mineral bathers but as his condition did not improve, accompanied by Mrs. Dick he went to Ann Arbor about a week ago. His case was pronounced hopeless, and as he was anxious to return home, Mr. Kick and Dr. Greenamyer went to Ann Arbor yesterday morning and brought him to Niles at 6:40 p.m.
About midnight Mr. Clymer lapsed into unconsciousness and passed away at the hour stated.
The remains were taken to the family home this morning.
Mr. Clymer was 45 years of age last January. He was born north of the city on the Niles and Berrien Springs road and had always resided in this vicinity.
Eighteen years ago Mr. Clymer was united in marriage to Miss Gertrude Fisher, who passed away about ten years later leaving three little daughters, Elaine, Mildred and Gertrude, and the father’s devotion and care for them since has been a beautiful example of parental love and their grief at their loss is most pathetic.
Besides the daughters, Mr. Clymer is survived by his father, C. Clymer, two sisters and a brother as follows: Mrs. J.W. Dick, Miss Daisy Clymer and William Clymer all of Niles.
Mr. Clymer was a man of most estimable qualities and had won for himself a host of friends throughout the community all of whom extend heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family.
For years the deceased had been a member of the Baptist church in this city.
Fraternally Mr. Clymer was identified with Niles Tent, K.O.T.M.M.
The funeral arrangements have not been completed.
