Obituary
Clark Southmayd, first born son of Solon R. and Mary Jane (Reed) Southmayd, was born April 9, 1875, in Union Township, Scotland County, Missouri; his parents residing then in their present home. He died May 4, 1904, being 29 years and 5 days. He was reared by Christian parents and was early taught the ways of truth and salvation. Being of a cheerful and kind disposition he grew up a favorite among his acquaintances, both old and young. Whether at home or in the employ of others, he was ever known to be faithful and worthy. In 1898 he was untied in marriage with Miss Effie Storer, the only daughter of Oliver and Emily (Bull) Storer. No children came to bless this union. They lived with her parents, near Brock, until the fall of 1903, when they moved into their home, which together they had planned and made replete with comfort and beauty. While living in this beautiful home he was stricken with heart disease of a serious type, about seven weeks ago. The best medical skill was employed and all that tender nursing could give was his. He improved and, aided by his energy and a determined mind he seemed to rise above his pain and was able to direct his farm work, until a few days before God’s angel of death placed his seal upon his brow and bid him come for his reward. His wife, both parents; one sister, Grace; and two brothers, Fred and Roy, are the immediate relatives left to mourn the early closing of his earthly life. In sympathy their grief is shared by the entire community.
