MATILDA (COGEN) CLARK, 23 Jun 1843 - 02 Jun 1903

   Matilda Cogen, daughter of Daniel and Anna Cogen, was born in 
Tuscarawas county, Ohio, June 23, 1843, and died at her home in 
Montpelier, Jun 2, 1903, aged 59 years, 11 months and 9 days.
   In 1852, she came with her parents to Steuben county, Indiana, 
where she grew to young womanhood and spent the greater portion of 
her life, having come to Montpelier in August, 1881, where she has 
since resided.  On November 22, 1863, she was united in marriage to 
Caleb Clark, who had preceded her to the better world about six 
weeks before, on April the 20th.  To this union were born four 
daughters, two of whom died in early childhood.  The two surviving 
ones are Mrs. Cora Forest and Miss Edna Clark.  Mrs. Clark was one 
of a family of six children, only two of whom are now living, Mrs. 
Mary A. Teeters, of Hudson, Indiana, and Mrs. Sarah Willington, of 
New London, Iowa.  Those going before were John Cogen, who died 
near Metz, Indiana, in 1880; Mrs. Elizabeth Shipe, who died near 
Hudson, Indiana, in 18?5, and Allen Cogen, who expired in 
Steubenville, Indiana, in 1902.  Mrs. Clark was a loving wife and 
ideal mother, always ready to sacrifice for those who were dear to 
her.  She had an attractive and winning manner, making a friend in 
all who knew her.  She bore her long illness with marvelous 
patience and cheerfulness, always hopeful and looking on the bright 
side.  Her loss leaves a vacancy that can never be filled, but to 
our sorrow comes the consoling thought that she is at rest and 
safe.
