Funeral services were held Sunday in Waltonville at the Methodist Church. Burial was in the Knob Prairie Cemetery.
She was born to Robert Raines and Arena (Mezo) Clampet. Mrs. Braden cared for her mother for many years, due to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. My mother, the youngest child of Jim and Zula, said she used to sing to her grandmother Clampet who was all "drawn up" and couldn't do anything for herself.
