Mrs. Gillispie had lived in Clay County for 48 years where she had accumulated such a host of loving friends as would merit the elegance of her ageing grace.
Tired Hands
Folded they lie upon her tranquil breast,
My mother's tired hands, their labor done,
Knotted and scarred in battles they have won,
Worn to the quick by love's unkind behest.
Pulseless they lie, while from the crimson west
A flood of glory from the setting sun
Shines on her face; I hear the deep, "Well done,"
God's angelus that calls her soul to rest,
Found is the Holy Grail of knightly quest,
Here in her home, where such brave deeds were done
As knight ne'er saw since chivalry begun.
She suffered, toiled and died:
God knows the rest.
---Clarence Hawkes.
Funeral services were held at Edgar Christian Church Monday, March 31, 1941, at 2:00 p.m. with Robert E. Hanson of Clay Center in charge. A quartette from the church, Mrs. F. W. Hockman, A. A. Recht and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Jacobsen, sang "Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me," "Asleep in Jesus" and "Going Down the Valley," Mrs. Roy Cline was at the piano.
Pallbearers were: Bingham Brown, Ray Mileger, Oscar Mileger, Lloyd Brooks, Cecil Strawser and Byron Kinnison.
