In Wheaton, Ill., at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. J. Russell Smith, on Saturday morning, Dec. 24, 1881, Mrs. Luanna Clark, aged 67 years, 11 months, and 10 days. Mrs. Clark was born in Plainfield, N. Y., January 14, 1814. She was the daughter of Elder Willett Stillman. When young she united with the First Brookfield Seventh-day Baptist Church at Leonardsville. In 1836, she was married to Mr. Robert G. Clark., and in 1854, they, with their children, two sons and one daughter, removed to Galesburg, Ill., remaining there two years and a half, and then removing to Monmouth. In the Spring of 1866, removed to California, Mo., where the following November she buried her husband. In the Spring of 1872 she came to Wheaton. Under all circumstances and in whatever place she resided she always observed the seventh day as the Sabbath, never living, since coming West, among people of her faith; her membership was never removed from the Brookfield Church. She has been in feeble health for some years, and confined to the house for two and a half years. She bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude and resignation, but she often expressed a desire to go and be at rest with her Savior. Her work is finished, and her Maker has called her to come up higher. While on earth she was known only to be loved. Her children and friends mourn for her as the blessed who die in the Lord. May she rest in peace.
