Death of Mrs. Molby
Mrs. Clarissa E. Molby was born in the state of New York, September 27, 1818, and died in Creston at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, September 8, 1897, at the residence of her son, I. J. Molby, on Sumner avenue, after an illness of one month. The funeral services were held at the residence of I. J. Molby Wednesday afternoon, Rev. C. W. Riches, pastor of the Baptist church, officiating. The remains were taken on No. 30 to Kansas to be interred in the Barnes city cemetery, which is situated on the farm of C. D. Molby. The deceased for more than thirty-five years was a devoted Christian, a member of the Baptist church. She was possessed of an exceedingly sunny temperament and endeared herself to the hearts of all who knew her. During her illness she was a most patient sufferer, concerned more for the trouble she feared she was causing others than for her own sufferings. Until the intense heat of the past week began to effect her, her friends believed she was to recover but on Friday last she began to fail. Her husband preceded her to the better land thirty-eight years ago. She leaves three sons and two daughters who with their families most deeply mourn the departure of one whom everyone loved. Of her it can be truly said, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." Our loss is heaven's gain. Another light in the windows above. Additional beautiful hands beckoning to the other shore the waiting ones here. (Quoted from Creston, Iowa, Gazette)
Mrs. Molby will be remembered by many of our readers, as she was long a resident of Van Buren.
