MRS CLARENCE MAY DEAD
The many friends and neighbors of Mrs. Clarence May of the Elk vicinity, were greatly grieved to hear of her death at her home last Tuesday evening. Mrs. May had been sick only a few days and death coming suddenly is indeed a sad shock to the husband and family and relatives.
The funeral will be held at the Elmdale church at 2:30 o'clock tommorrow (Thursday) afternoon after which interment will then be made in the Elmdale cemetery.
There were few women better known in the northwest section of the county or more loved than was Mrs. May. The bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of all in their great loss.R

OBITUARY OF MRS CLARENCE MAY
Stella Johnson, daughter of Mr and Mrs James Johnson was born at the old Johnson homestead on Middle Creek in 1888 where she spent her girlhood.
Following the completion of her school work in the district school, she attended the Chase County High School here where she made many friends and acquaintances.
In 1912, at the age of twenty-four years, she was married to Clarence May and to this union one daughter, Louise was born, who with her father survive. Mrs. May is also survived by her parents and many other relatives and a wide circle of loving friends and neighbors.
Her death occurred on Tuesday evening, April n20th, following a very brief illness. The funeral services were helod in the Elmdale Church Thursday afternoon Apr 22nd, after which internment was made in the Elmdale cemetery. From the time she was a very little girl, Mrs May was beloved by all because of her pleasant, kindly disposition which was probably her strongest characteristic.
To her girl friends she was a companion and chum and generally tyhe loife of the little group of which she was one. To her parents, she was a loving and obedient daughter, and to her husband a faithful wife. To bthe little daughter who is left motherless so young in lifek she was the guardian and all that most beloved word in our language can convey "a mother."
With her passing has come a great grief to the husband and little daughter as well as to the other relatives and friends for their loss they realize is indeed great. They are sustained by the knowledge, however, that though she has departed from this earth, yet she has gone to the Home Beyond and there will await the happy meeting of those she has left behind.
While the synpathy which the friends of the husband and little daughter may give them can lessen their sorrow in only a small degree, yet it must be some consolation to them to know that they are not alone in their sorrow and that many are the hearts which have gone out to them in this sad loss of a loving wife and mother
