OBIT: "Mrs. Elsie May Grosclaude was born May 28, 1874; died March 24, 1909; aged 34 years, 8 months and 25 days. Deceased was the eldest daughter of Dewitt and Alice Hetrick and was raised in Ripley Township. On August 19, 1902, she was married to Chris Grosclaude of Schuyler County. Her married life was a happy one, marked by her devotion to her husband and child. During her illness of four weeks her sister Pearl Hetrick, a trained nurse of Peoria, cared for her, but that dreaded disease, consumption, had developed. She was possessed of a beautiful Christian character and endeared herself to acquaintances, and her friends were many. Day by day her sorrowing husband and relatives watched the slender chords of life weaken and waste until at last the end came and the weary mother laid down to her eternal rest, cheered by a hope of glorious immortality. About sixteen years ago she became a member of the Christian Church at Hazel Dell and faithfully adhered to its teachings. Besides a sorrowing husband and a little daughter, Wilhelmina, in her sixth year, she leaves a father, three sisters and four brothers: Cora, William and Lewis of Tonkawa, Oklahoma, Charles of Sacramento, Neb., Pearl of Peoria, Illinois, Guy and Mrs. Logsdon of Brown County. Funeral services were held from the Christian Church at Mt. Sterling at one o'clock Saturday afternoon conducted by Rev. Stover of Rushville. The remains were laid to rest in Mt. Sterling City Cemetery."
