Ellen had a stone, but we have been unable to find it yet. Cemetery is in bad condition. Some work is being done on the outside of the cemetery, not sure if the work will continue inside the stone walls.
The funeral of Mrs. Ellen D. Clapper whose death occurred Thursday, Feb. 19, was held Saturday, Feb. 21, at 1 o'clock from the Seymour Funeral Home.
Mrs. Clapper was born in Smithville, June 30, 1854, the daughter of John and Ellen McKay Dunning. She was the last of a large respected and courageous family, four of her brothers serving gallantly in the Civil War.
In her youth, her musical talent and ability gave her much prominence as a teacher and singer. Her sunny personality and interest in people brought her many warm friendships lasting through the many years of her life.
She is survived by one grandson and several nieces and nephews. Burial was made in the family plot at East McDonough. (Published in the Oxford Review Times Thursday, February 26, 1942)
