She leaves to mourn their loss a husband, nine grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, one brother, one sister, and a host of friends.
"Servant of God, well done,
Thy glorious warfare's past;
The battle is fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last."
Funeral services were held at the Clearfield Methodist church on Thursday afternoon, August 6th. Pastor D. I. Hower officiated. The pallbearers were six grandsons, Gail, Cecil, Clifford and Forest Bailey, Loren and Clyde Nevill. Interment was in Clearfield Cemetery.
