Mrs. Laura Osterday passed away at the home of Dr. Nelson Combs early Tuesday morning. She was stricken by a brain hemorrhage on the evening of July 11, and soon sank into a stupor from which she did not rally, though she evinced a certain degree of consciousness up to a day or so before the end.
Laura Alice Clark, daughter of Augustus F. and Ann Catherine (Swadener) Clark, was born on June 23, 1860, in the old Clark homestead, three miles south of Rossville. Upon reaching the stage of young womanhood she was united in marriage with Henry W. Osterday, in 1881, this union having been dissolved by the death of the husband in 1926. Mrs. Grace Adams, the only child born of this union, passed away in 1932.
In early life Mrs. Osterday joined the Baptist church in Rossville, but after her marriage she became a member of the Methodist church in Mulberry, and for many years she was an active participant in the affairs of the congregation and its auxiliary organizations. For nearly forty years she was the teacher of the primary class in the Sunday School. She was a member of the Frankfort chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
During the past five years Mrs. Osterday had been an inmate of the D. S. Heterick home, where she was given every possible care. Although she had lost the sense of sight, she quite frequently left the home to attend a service at the church, or to spend the day with a relative or friend, or to take and automobile ride about the country. There was much of the tragical in the life of Mrs. Osterday, but she endured her troubles with a fortitude that was almost beyond the comprehension of those less firmly grounded in the Christian’s faith that was hers.
The near living relatives are a granddaughter, Lois Gable; three brothers, W. N. Clark, Mulberry; Edwin A. Clark, Indianapolis; Dr. Herbert R. Clark, Pierce City, Mo., and one sister, Mrs. Rose Parse, Foxworth, Miss.
The obsequies were held Thursday afternoon, with a brief preliminary service at the W. N. Clark home, followed by the service proper at the Methodist church, with Rev. H. C. Riley, of Lafayette, in charge, and Reverends Prevo and Whitman participating. Robert Clark, a nephew, sang “In the Beautiful Garden of Prayer” and “Asleep in Jesus,” hymns that had been selected by the deceased sister. The body was laid in its final resting place in the Fair Haven cemetery.
The pall bearers were Raymond Clark, Robert Clark and Oakley Landes, relatives; K. P. Clendenning, M. E. Snyder, and Lloyd Wilson.
The sister who lives in Mississippi, was unable to be here.
