Obituary: The Eldon Advertiser, Tuesday, April 11, 2000
Clare Mace, 94, of Bristol Manor, Eldon, died there Tuesday, April 11, 2000. She was born Jan. 23, 1906, in Brumley to Charles Wesley and Josephine McCombs Buster. She was married in Linn Creek to Lucian Thomas Mace, who died May 2, 1972.
Mrs. Mace was a lifelong resident of Miller County and she and her husband were members of the first graduating class of Brumley High School in 1923. She attended State Teachers College at Warrensburg and taught in several Miller County rural school districts, including Barton, Honey Springs, China, Warren and Lawson. She and her husband also owned the Chrysler-Plymouth dealership in Tuscumbia.
For 15 years, Mrs. Mace wrote for the Miller County Autogram-Sentinel and is remembered for her homespun, humorous tales in her column "Clare's Chatter." After her husband's death, she maintained the family farm for several years.
She was a member of the Niangua Chapter, DAR, Eldon Garden Club, Tuscumbia Baptist Church and had been active in various civic and community organizations and served in the Silver Haired Legislature.
Surviving her are two daughters, Sue Wyrick Anderson of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Lois Webb of Stilwell, Kan.; two grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and her daughter-in-law, Joyce Mace of Osage Beach. Her son, Lee Mace, preceded her in death.
Funeral Services were held at 11 a.m. Friday at Phillips Funeral Home in Eldon with the Rev. Bob Buster and the Rev. Don Bilbary officiating. Burial was in Gott Cemetery near Ulman. Visitation was held from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Phillips Funeral Home. Memorials may be made to the Eldon First Baptist Church, the Tuscumbia First Baptist Church or the charity of the donor's choice.
At the funeral, a bookmark was distributed by the family containing this adapted version of Clare's "personal" Bible verse. "Finally, Brethern, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things [which] you have learned, received, heard, and seen...[then]... do them and the God of Peace shall be with you. Philippians 4:8-9 (adapted)."
