Obituary- MacPherson, Clarence C. 2

And from this small beginning earned entirely by his own efforts, Mr. McPherson realized the real estate, the large stables and the stock that he left at his death.

His life was a success.

When 27 years old, Mr. McPherson was married to Miss Minnie S. Miller, daughter of the late Bradford Miller. Four children were born to them, three of whom, with their mother, survive. They are, Clarence M., Virgil and Helen.

Mr. McPherson was for years a member of the Presbyterian church and at the time of his death was a deacon.

He was a charter member of the Rossville camp of the Modern Woodmen of America, and for many years was captain of the team of that organization. He was Venerable Consul of that order at his death.

The funeral was held last Saturday afternoon from the Presbyterian church. The Reverend George E. Chatfield conducted the services.

Many beautiful floral offerings were sent by Mr. McPherson's friends.

Among them was a particularly beautiful design - the emblem of the Order of the Modern Woodmen of America.

The church was crowded to the doors by friends who came to look for the last time upon the face of their friend. The service was attended not only by the residents of this city and community, but by friends and relatives from Topeka, St. Marys and other cities. Among the relatives and friends who attended from Topeka were: Mrs. A.T. Lucas and daughter Helen, Mrs. Frank Parr, Mrs. Frank Lewis, Mrs. Frank Summers, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Summers, Mrs. Frances Crossley, Mr. Wm. Miller and family, Mr. Clyde Miller, R.F. Hodgine and Oscar Alexander.

Among those attended from St. Marys were: Mr. and Mrs. N.E. McPherson and daughter Hattie, Mr. and Mrs. R.C. McPherson and Mr. and Mrs. H.G. McPherson. The St. Marys camp of the M.W.A. also attended the services.

The burial was in the Rossville cemetery.
