Mary Ellen Davidson, of whose demise The Journal last week made mention, was the daughter of Frank M. and Hattie A. Clark, and was born in Ottawa, Ill., on May 11, 1855. In 1870 she came with her parents to Clarinda where for a couple of years she attended school and afterwards taught some of the rural schools of the county, among them Tarkio and McCowen. On March 12, 1874, she was united in marriage to Hi Davidson who was at that time owner and manager of a livery stable in Clarinda. Soon after their marriage they moved to Bolckow, Mo., where they resided for a few years. From they removed to the farm of John Liggett about five miles northeast of Clarinda, thence to the Orme farm north of Hawleyville, and then bought and moved to a farm three miles west of New Market. After a few years residence there the health of Mrs. Davidson began failing and they moved to Hawleyville where they lived one summer with their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. P. [erry] W. Owen, thence back to the farm, which they sold shortly afterward and purchased a splendid home on the outskirts of New Market, and there on Sept. 12 [22], 1908 at 8:30 p. m., Mrs. Davidson "Fell into that dreamless sleep that kisses down her eyelids still." She had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church for thirty-eight years, her membership being with the congregation in Clarinda. Funeral services were held in the church at New Market on Thursday, Sept. 24, at 2 o'clock p. m., conducted by Will O. Hutchings, assisted by the pastor, Rev. Lewis Watson. Interment in Clarinda cemetery. Mrs. Davidson was the mother of three children, two sons and one daughter, of whom one son died in infancy, and H. [arry] B. [urton] Davidson of Hot Springs, S. D., and Mrs. Belle Owen of Clarinda yet survive. Besides these she leaves her aged mother and three brothers and one sister, viz.: Eugene, Seattle, Wash.; Fred, San Francisco, Cal.; Frank, of St. Louis, Mo., and Ida, of Chicago, of whom the two last names were present at her funeral. There were also present H. [arry] B. [urton] Davidson, of Dakota and Mrs. D. C. Stockton, of Kansas City, Mo., the latter being the daughter of Mr. Davidson.
Mrs. Davidson was a splendid woman, kind, generous and obliging. Her sympathies were boundless and she went like a ray of sunshine into the homes where sorrow had laid its heavy hand. She was indeed a follower of the Master and strove to make the world brighter for her presence.
Her funeral discourse was prefaced by a poem entitled: "He giveth His loved ones sleep." The last verse is here added by request of friends:
"Weep not that her toils are over,
Weep not that her race is run,
God Grant we may rest as calmly
When our work, like hers, is done
'Till then we would yield with gladness
Our treasure to Him to keep
And rejoice in the sweet assurance
He giveth His loved ones sleep."
