MRS. ELIZABETH CLUTTER
ANNA ELIZABETH PFEIFER was born in Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, April 8, 1837, and
died at her home in Little River, Kansas, November 6, 1916; aged 79 years, 6
months and 28 days.
She came with her parents to America, when two years of age, locating in Ohio.
On May 22, 1853, she was united in marriage to Samuel Clutter. They came to
Kansas March 1, 1889. Thirteen years ago they celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary. Ten years ago, November 8, her husband died. Since that time she
has been afflicted with various troubles.
She was always cheerful and enjoyed the visits with her friends. She had been a
faithful Christian for sixty years, was kind-hearted and generous, a good
neighbor, and was ever ready and willing to extend a helping hand to those in
need or distress. Her lovable disposition endeared her to a large circle of
friends. She leaves three sisters, two brothers, fourteen children and
twenty-nine great-grandchildren, and a host of friends who will miss her from
her home.
The funeral, which was held at the Congregational church Thursday, November 9,
was well attended and the floral offerings were beautiful. Rev. Percy L. Perry,
pastor of the church, assisted by Rev. George Watts of the Methodist church and
Rev. R. A. Adamson of the Christian church, conducted the service. The WCTU, of
which she was a member, read their burial service at the close of the sermon.
Burial was made in Bean cemetery where she rests by the side of her husband.
