Harriet Ellen (Clarke) Gray 1899-1929
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol. 106, No. 4, Jan. 28, 1929, pg 126-27.
Harriet Ellen Clarke, daughter of Charles and Lula Raymond Clarke, was born at Berlin, WI, Jan 14, 1899, and died in Mercy Hospital at Janesville, WI, Jan. 13,1929, being one day less than 30 years old.
Most of her life was spent at Milton Junction, WI. Here at the age of 12 she was baptized and united with the Seventh Day Baptist Church, where she maintained her membership until her death.
On Oct. 19, 1920, she was married to Herbert Elmer Gray. To them were born three children: Charles Elmer, Paul Eugene, and Joyce Harriet. She was a devoted homemaker and mother. Her home was at once her chief care and her main joy. Her departure is the first break in the home ties of eight short years, and the surviving husband and little children will miss a hand at the helm.
She is further survived by a brother, Perl Henry Clarke of Castle Rock, CO, and two sisters, Mrs. Retta Spaulding of Neilsville, WI, and Mrs Marie Scott of St. Louis MO.
Farewell services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. John Fitz Randolph in the church Jan. 16, 1929. Interment was made in Milton Junction cemetery.
