Lulu Raymond Clarke was born at Omro, Wis., April 10, 1877, and died at Mercy Hospital, Janesville, Wis., July 28, 1911, aged 34 years, 3 months and 18 days.
Her parents were Darwin J. and Ellen Seamore Raymond. On June 13, 1896, she was married to Charles Fremont Clarke of Berlin, Wis., by the Rev. D. Burdett Coon. Mr. Clarke died January 31, 1903. There were born to this union five children, four of whom, having been fatherless for eight and one-half years, are now left to face life without a mother.
During the life of her husband their home was at Berlin, Wis., but soon after his death Mrs. Clarke, with her family of little children, came to Milton Junction where they have since lived. She was baptized at about the age of nineteen years and joined the Berlin Seventh-day Baptist Church, later joining the church of the same faith in Milton Junction, of which she was a consistent member to the end, dying in the triumphs of the Gospel.
In speaking of the Christian virtues and graces of a frail body like Mrs. Clarke, we are wont to begin by saying, "In spite of her suffering," or just as appropriate, or more so, to say, "Because of her frail body and her slender hold on this life she developed those higher graces which have more abiding value in the realm of the eternal"? And yet, Mrs. Clarke had very much to do with the things of this life. Left a widow at the age of twenty-six years, with limited means and four small children to support, against great odds, she fought a brave and winning fight. Largely by the labor of her own hands she provided the comforts of life, gave to the children the advantages of school and church, and in her own counsels and advice did not neglect the higher interests of the mind and spirit. She lived for her children and she was a good and wise mother. How they will miss her as the long years roll on, no one, not even they, can realize at present, and yet her prayers of faith and her loving counsel will be remembered through life and will have increasing value as maturer years bring a truer conception of their infinite worth.
The three older children are members of the church, having been baptized a year ago. One will return with her uncle, Perley Clarke, to Denver, and the other three have found good homes in Seventh-day Baptist families of this vicinity.
Funeral services were held at the Seventh-day Baptist church at Milton Junction, conducted by her pastor, burial being made at Berlin, Wis., beside her husband.
