Barr Woman Passes Away Mrs. W. H. Clark died at her home on the State road, near Bethany church, Saturday night about 5 o'clock, as the result of a stroke of paralysis received last Thursday afternoon, aggravated to no small degree by the intense heat. Mrs. Clark was the daughter of John Hays, now dead, and was born at the old Hays homestead forty-six years ago. She lived all her life, save one year which was passed in the Wabash bottoms of Knox county, in the neighborhood in which she was born. Some twenty-seven years ago she was married to W. H. Clark and to this union was born four children - Mrs. Leo Dant of Montgomery, Mrs. Louis Carey of Terre Haute, Harry Clark and William Clark of Barr township. Death Was a Shock The passing of Mrs. Clark was a shock to the neighborhood as but few knew that she was bordering upon the brink. Her death had been such as to cause no complaint and early Thursday afternoon she was stricken with a paralytic stroke and found in the yard in an unconscious condition by members of the family about sundown. Mrs. Clark failed to recover from the unconscious stupor and Saturday evening about 8 o'clock she answered the last summon, surrounded by the members of her family and several friends.
