Clinton Register

GONE TO HER FINAL REST
Another of Clinton's Aged Mothers Joins Loved
Ones on the Other Shore After a Long Illness.

Mrs. Etta B. LEWIS died Sunday morning at her home on North Madison street, aged 65 years, 4 months and 28 days.

She had been an invalid about nine years and had been unable to leave her home. Most of the time the last three years she was compelled to sit in a chair, being unable to lie down without great pain. For about six weeks she grew worse rapidly and the final summons was not unexpected.

Etta B. QUIGG was born in Litchfield, N. H. June 25, 1837. In 1855 she came to Clinton to visit her sister, Mrs. Martha BROWN. While here she met S. F. LEWIS, and they were married Sept. 23 1856, in Westford, Mass, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Mary DOW. They soon returned to Clinton where they lived until God called them home, the husband dying about fifteen years ago. Eight children were born to them, five of whom are living. They are John Q., Edwin J., May E. [Mary E.], of Clinton; Fred G. and David Q., of Chicago. She is also survived by a twin sister, Miss Nellie [Ellen], and a brother, David QUIGG, of Chicago.

Deceased united with the Presbyterian church in Clinton about forty years ago and had since been a zealous Christian and an earnest worker in her Master's vineyard. All who knew her became her friend and she was loved for her kindly ways.

Funeral services were held Tuesday at 8 o'clock, conducted by Rev. S. C. Black. Interment in Woodlawn.
