Death of Mrs. Clough

Passed Away at Family Home Here, Today at 9:45 O'clock.

Mrs. Lillian May Clough, wife of James Clough, of 926 North Third street, passed away at the family residence this morning at 9:45 o'clock. Mrs. Clough had been in failing health for a number of months past and since last May she had been bedfast. The news of her death, though not unexpected, has cast a gloom over that part of the city where the family resides and the many friends who reside in various parts of the city, also were shocked upon learning the sad news today.

Mrs. Clough was a member of the First Methodist church of this city and was well known in church circles. Her friends were numbered only by her many acquaintances. She was loved and greatly admired by all with whom she came in contact in church work, and in her daily life, as well. Besides the husband she leaves two small children, Lillian, aged 5 years and Robert sixteen months.

Her mother, Mrs. O.M. Pittenger, whose home is next door to the Clough residence, three sisters and one brother also survive her. The sisters are Mrs. Ben V. Reeves, of Wichita; Mrs. R. Otis Fowler of this city and Mrs. Earl Ammons, of Tulsa, Okla. All were at her bedside when death claimed her this morning, with the exception of Mrs. Ammons, formerly Miss Lena Pittenger, who is unable to be with her at this time. The brother of the deceased is Harry Pittenger, of this city.

Lillian May Pittenger was born in Goddard, Kas., 29 years ago last April. She came to this city with her parents a number of years ago and the father O.M. Pittenger passed away here in 1915. She was united in marriage to James Clough in the city July 14, 1915. To this union two children have been born.

Friends of the family will extend heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved relatives.

Arrangements for the funeral services and burial had not been completed this afternoon and the announcement in this regard will be made tomorrow. Other relatives of the deceased who reside away from here were being notified of the death today and until they are heard from the arrangements will not be made, it was announced late this afternoon.

The services were short and very impressive. There were flowers in abundance at the church. The body of Mrs. Clough was interred in Riverview cemetery.
