She died at her home in Elkader at four o'clock Saturday morning, May 30, 1942, at the age of 79 years, 1 month and 26 days. Elkader has been her home since 1937 when she and Mr. Clark moved from the farm. She enjoyed good health until about six months ago when her health began to fail.

There are also two great grandchildren, namely, Beverly Jean Jaster and Sheila Mae Clark.


Mrs. Clark was baptized and confirmed in the Norway Congregation by Rev. Ole Waldeland. she has always been a member of Norway Congregation and will be greatly missed by the local congregation, the Ladies' Aid, as well as the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America. Mrs. Clark was a home-loving woman, but also enjoyed her neighbors and community and will be greatly missed by them.


Blessed by her memory.
