Jefferson Democrat
Friday, 03 March 1871:
LETTER FROM MERAMEC - Meramec Township, March 20 '71 - Editor Jefferson Democrat: Since my last letter the "Reaper whose name is Death" has been busy in our midst; two of our old neighbors have gone to their long home.
From another home the dread visitant has taken the wife and mother, Mrs. Clara SHOULTS, daughter of Isaac HERRINGTON and wife of Jacob SHOULTS, a lady widely known and connected on Big River. She had been sick but a short time, and as she was a lady of strong constitution and general good health, her husband and friends could not give up hoping until the very last moment, that she would recover. But their hopes were in vain. Asrahel, the Angel of Death had touched her with his wing, and she was doomed to go. Her death-bed was singularly calm and peaceful. Her funeral was largely attended. Brother Stephens delivered a short but very impressive sermon, and asked a blessing on all assembled. Her afflicted husband and little children, too young to realize their irreparable loss, have the sincere sympathy of all their neighbors. O.U.C.
