Death of Mrs. Jane Clyde
Again we are called upon to chronicle the death of one of the early pioneers of this valley. Last Wednesday night at 15 minutes before 12 o'clock the spirit of Jane Clyde, widow of George W. Clyde, passed to the Great Beyond.
Jane McDonald Clyde was born at Crawfords Burn, Ireland, July 17th, 1826, where the early days of her youth were spent. In 1842, she, together with her father's family, father, mother, four brothers and three sisters united with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and soon after left their home for the Gospel and emigrated to America, reaching Nauvoo in the early spring of 1844 after a tedious voyage of six weeks.
They were at Nauvoo at the time of the Prophet's death and experienced many privations and hardships incident to the persecution and expulsion of the Saints from that city.
In the summer of 1850, the family started for Utah. Her father died of cholera on the way and was buried on the banks of the Platte River.
Disheartened but not discouraged the invalid mother and family of small children worked their way onward to Salt Lake City, arriving there late in the summer of that year. The family went to Utah County that fall and built the first home in what is now known as Alpine, where they spent the winter of 1850-1. During the summer of 1851 they moved to Springville where deceased was united to her husband, George W. Clyde, on September 30th.
In 1860, she with her husband and family came to Heber, where she has since resided. She was the mother of nine children, six of whom are living, forty-five grand children and five (?) great grand children.
The life of "Aunt Jane" Clyde has been one of hardship rather than pleasure. Although surrounded with an abundance of this world's goods during the latter part of her life, her earlier training amid the trials, hardships and deprivations of the Saints in coming to and settling in the valley of the mountains, deprived her, in a great measure, of the desire to enjoy the blessings bestowed upon her during her later years.
The funeral services will be held today at 2 o'clock p.m. in the stake tabernacle. The speakers at the funeral will be Patriarchs Thomas Hicken and John M. Murdock and counselor Joseph R. Murdock of the stake presidency.
