Died with Consumption.
First wife of Robert Lee Wood.
Daughter of Rev. Francis L. "Frank" Atwood and Mary Elizabeth Brown-Atwood.
THE CRITTENDEN PRESS ~ April 27, 1905.
May I hope the readers of the Press will bear with me in presenting in a brief way a few things relative to the life and death of my precious daughter, Clara, wife of R. L. Wood.
Clara was born March 31, 1880, died April 16, 1905. As a shining and cherished star in our family she remained twenty-five years and sixteen days. Her health has been very uncertain for a year or more and our anxiety for her was wrought up to high tension; and when but a few months back her physician said, Clara has consumption, our strained hopes for her recovery were forced to give place to saddest expectations and eleven days before her departure she and we realized her stay with us was speedily coming to an end. Those were sad and heavy days and hours, and on Sabbath evening about 5 o'clock it was apparent that her struggle for life would soon be over. So resigned and composed was she in those last few moments that she repeated a former request of her husband to look well to the interest of their little one, Thelma, and remembering her two brothers, whose arrival from Arkansas was expected at any time. She said, "Tell Bob and John I would have been glad to have seen them." Then kissing her husband, her papa, Thelma, and Grace, her younger sister, a loving goodbye, she bade all present farewell and told them to meet her in Heaven. No, no, Clara is not dead. Absent from the body, present with the Lord.
After appropiate divine services at Shady Grove Cemetery, her mortal form was placed beside her mother to await the power of the spirit in the resurrection morn.
By her father, in loving remembrance of Clara. Frank L. Atwood.
