SUMMONED BY DEATH
Clinton Howard Fey
After a period of suffering which lasted for several years the soul of Clinton Howard Fey left its house of clay for "the house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." His departure took place on the morining of November 23, 1921.
He was born on a farm south of Naperville, on November 4, 1876, making his age at death 45 years and 19 days.
On Christmas eve in the year 1907 he was united in marriage to Amelia Book, with whom he lived in happy wedlock, and who tenderly and patiently cared for him in his long illness. They lived on the home farm for 12 years after their marriage, until the health of Mr. Fey compelled them to retire.
He was a faithful member of Grace United Evangelical Church having been converted at the Hart and Magan meetings. He was also a devoted member of the Baraca Class of Grace Sunday School. He was unassuming in his ways, yet a man with deep convictions and a clear religious experience.
It was his lot to suffer much. His first affliction was one that affected his arm. After that came a more serious trouble, which even the skill of physicians could not cure. Through all the years of this trial he was patient and trustful. The song that was a special comfort to him was the dear old hymn, "My Faith Looks Up to Thee." It drew him close to God.
Besides his companion he leaves to mourn his departure, a brother, Reuben, of Chicago, and three sisters, Mrs. Nettie Vocks, Mrs. Minnie Fry, and Miss Emma Fey, all of Naperville.
His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Fey, and also a brother and sister preceded him in their departure.
The following song voiced his feeling:
"I do not know why oft 'round me,
My hopes all shattered seem to be;
God's perfect plan I cannot see,
But some day I'll understand."
'Tho' trials come thro' passing days,
My life may still be filled with praise;
For God will lead thro' darkening ways,
And some day I'll understand."
"Some day He'll make it plain to me,
Some day when I his face shall see;
Some day from tears I shall be free,
For some day I'll understand."
Funeral services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. L. C. Schmidt, at Grace Church, Friday afternoon, Nov. 25th. A male quartette from the College sang.
