The funeral of the wife of Rev. W. F. Clark will occur this morning at 8 o’clock and will be conducted by Rev. H. M. Middleton. Mr. Clark is ill with malaria. He had decided to accept a call to Mt. Vernon, Washington State, principally on account of his wife’s health, but under the present contingency it is doubtful whether he goes.

The result of the postmortem examination, held by Drs. Barcus, Campbell and Simison, on the body of the late Mrs. W. F. Clark, wife of the then pastor of the Shawnee Mound M. E. Church, reveals the fact that she died of exhaustion from hemorrhage of the stomach, the result of cirrhosis of the liver. The examination further revealed that there was not a single convulsion and not a symptom to indicate that her death was similar to that of Mrs. Fred Pettit. This certainly explodes the theory that the soil about the parsonage contains some poisonous matter that will cause the death of those residing there. The report of those who made the postmortem has just been made to Dr. W. H. Peters, who kindly gave the information to a Courier reporter this morning.—Lafayette Courier
