SELBIA CLARK DIES AT IJAMSVILLE
Selvia Clark died at his home in Ijamsville Friday evening about ten o'clock. He had been in failing health for three years from anaemia(sic) and the last three weeks his death had been expected at any time. The funeral was held at the Christian church in Laketon Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. Rev. McFadden conducted the service and burial was in the cemetery near the church.
Mr. Clark was 67 years old and had been a resident in and about Ijamsville all his life. He married Miss Grace Brown, who survives, together with one son, Raymond Clark, of Ijamsville and a daughter, Mrs. Jessie Hummer of Wabash.
One son, Laymond Clark, was killed in France during the war, but his body was brought home after the war and he is buried in the Ijamsville cemetery. Mr. Clark's life was no doubt shortened by the loss of his son, as the uncertainty about the son's fate was a great strain on the parents, in addition to the shock when final news of his death was received. Laymond Clark was first listed as missing in action and it was some time before positive information about his death was received.
