obituary
He was one of a family of nine children, seven of which have preceded him in death. James Samuel Mow of Oregon, being the only living brother.
On December 25, 1881 he was united in marriage to Eva Clark, who was taken from him by death March 20, 1918.
To this union five sons were given: Clarence Lasalle, who died June 3, 1921, Dallas Clayton, Charles Clyde and Leo Clark all of Richland Township and Calvin Dean of Argos, Indiana. One foster
daughter, Bernice Clark, passed away July 11, 1921.
In earlier life he was a member of the M.E. Church at Richland Center, but after moving to the present farm his membership was moved to the Grandview Evangelical Church.
Death was due to acute heart trouble and he was ill only one week.
A kind father and a good and generous neighbor has gone from us. He was always ready and willing to give whole-hearted aid and sympathy to his family and neighbors.
He leaves to mourn his passing, four sons and their families, and many kind neighbors and friends.
"Eva LaNora Clark was born in Ohio July 20, 1860, and departed this life March 20, 1918, aged 57 years and 8 months. At the age of four years she, with her parents, moved to Marshall county, Ind. where they resided until the death of her parents, after which she found a home with Geo. Miller, of near Bethel.
On Dec. 25, 1881, she was united in marriage to Marion L. Mow. To this union were born five children, whom survive and with the father mourn the loss of a kind and loving companion and mother.
The boys' names are Clarence Lacell, residing in Michigan; Dalls Clayton, Charles Clyde, Calvin Dean, also of Michigan; and Leo Clark. She is also the foster mother of Bernice Clark, a niece whose mother died and left her in infancy.
She also leaves to mourn her departure a half-sister, Hattie Steward, of Marshall county and four brothers, Charles, of Oregon; Calvin, William and Thomas, of Fulton county.
When yet in her youth she was converted to God and united with the Methodist church at Bethel and has lived a Christian life until she passed to her reward.
After moving to the present home, she with her husband, who was also a member of the same church, transferred their membership to the Grandview Church where she was an active member for 22 years. She has always been deeply interested in the spiritual and moral welfare of her boys as well as otherwise and the neighbors were remembered in her prayers.
She was held in high esteem by all who knew her, and the church will miss a faithful
member. But what the church militant has lost the church triumphant has gained.
Of marvel or surprise;
Assured alone that life and death,
His mercies underlines.
I wait the muffled oar;
No harm from Him can come to me,
On ocean or on shore.Return to Fulton County Page
