Hester A., daughter of Edward B. and Elizabeth Clark, was born in Clarksburg, Ohio, October 29, 1835, and entered into rest eternal October 23, 1913 aged 77 years, 11 months and 24 days.
She leaves surviving her one brother Edward B. Clark, of St. Louis, Mo, one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Clark Weaver of Circleville, and three grandchildren, besides a host of friends.
Hester Clark was united in marriage to William D. Myers, June 12, 1854. To this union was born three children, two dying in infancy, and one, Lillie, wife of Milton Dresbach, passed away about twenty years ago.
Mrs. Myers was a woman of unusual intelligence, energy and industry, yet she had the air of not appearing busy and was always at the service of a friend who sought her aid or advice. In childhood she was a pupil of the old Circleville Seminary, located a the corner of Court and Mound streets.
In her youth she united with the Presbyterian Church, and remained a faithful and consistent member of that church until the Master called her from the Church Militant to the Church Triumphant.
During the latter part of her life she was a great sufferer and was unable to attend divine services, but she never forgot Him who was her rod and staff in time of pain and sorrow. Death to her is not an eternal night, but only the begining of an endless day, for "at evening time it shall be light".
Oh, tired and patient sufferer, what a happy reunion with those whom you loved so dearly.
"We shall sleep, but not forever,
There will be a glorious dawn!
We shall meet to part, no, never,
On the resurrection morn!"
*Hester was the daughter of Edward Brown "E.B." Clark and Elizabeth V. Thompson Clark, pioneer settlers of Ross County, and the Grand-Daughter of Col. William H. Clark, founder of Clarksburg, Ohio. Hester married William D. Myers and was the mother of Lillian D. Myers Dresbach. They're both buried in Dresbach Cemetery.
