Robert Clary, an old and esteemed resident of this county died at his home north of this city, on the 13th of softening of the brain, after a painful illness of several weeks. Mr. Clary was born in Bond county, in this state, but removed with his parents to this county the same year, since which time he has resided here, and by his uprightness of character, as exemplified in his daily walk and conversation, established a reputation as a good citizen and an honored man. At the time of his death he was 59 years, seven months and seven days of age, and had been an honored member of the Masonic fraternity for over 23 years. His funeral was one of the largest ever held in this section, and was attended by the members of Clinton Lodge, A. F. and A. M., and the Harris Guards, of this town. The funeral sermon was preached by his old friend and neighbor, Rev. James Knoles. His remains were interred in the Concord burying ground.
