Mrs. Elizabeth Rugh, wife of the late Solomon Rugh, one of the most highly esteemed Christian ladies of Clarion, reached the bounds of life Saturday, January 12, 1924, and passed over into the eternal life and to the eternal mansion prepared for her. Mrs. Rugh, owing to her age, had not been in rugged health for some time, and the change had been anticipated by her family.
The deceased was a most remarkable lady and possessed a charming personality and manner, causing her to be admired and loved by all who knew her. She was a daughter of the late Reuben and Susan Fowles and was born in this county April 27, 1838. Her home was in Beaver Township until she was married on October 12, 1865, to Solomon Rugh and they established their home in Salem Township where they continued to reside until six years ago, when they moved to Clarion.
Since coming here Mr. Rugh passed over to the other side, leaving Mrs. Rugh alone in the home, but close neighbor to a son and daughter. Her family of five children and several grandchildren survive. The children, all of whom were present at the funeral, are: Dr. Chas. F. Rugh, Berkeley, Cali£.; Arthur Rugh, Oberlin, 0.; Mrs. W. E. Wenner, Ashtabula, 0.; Mrs. Don C. Corbett and H. E. Rugh, Esq., Clarion. One sister, Mrs. William Taylor, of Blairs Corners, also survives.
Mrs. Rugh was a devout and faithful Christian practically all her life and exemplified the Christian life in her every day living. She not only leaves her children the heritage of a most beautiful and motherly life, but gave
them the advantage of her fine Christian example. She was a member of the Lutheran Church from childhood and until she came to Clarion when she with her husband transferred their membership to the First Methodist Church.
The funeral services were held at her late home on Tuesday last, being conducted by Rev. C. J. Warner, her pastor, Rev. H. G. Stuempile, of the Lutheran Church, and Rev. D. E. Hepler, of the Presbyterian Church. The interment was made in Clarion cemetery.
