Clara Leona Burdick was born September 1, 1868, and died February 27, 1915, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Adelle Howard, at Farina, Ill.
She was the daughter of Rev. C. A. Burdick, of sacred memory, who was pastor of this church for a number of years. Clara possessed a very gentle and loving disposition, and was anxious to please and do whatever she could for others. Her life was one of willing and cheerful service and an example of pure unselfishness. Even in her last hours she was thinking of the comforts of others.
Jesus and heaven were realities to her and she loved to talk of them. She had the faith of a little child. Her presence in the home will be greatly missed, but she will ever be held in loving memory but the circle of friends who knew her.
Funeral services were conducted at the home Sunday afternoon, by Pastor Leslie O. Greene, and interment was made in the Farina Cemetery. L. O. G.
