Sarah Clark Obit - Aug 1899 -
OLD RESIDENT GONE
Mrs. Sarah L. Clark, of Hebron, Died July 20th.
WAS A GOOD CHRISTIAN WOMAN
Sarah L. Clark, wife of the late Daniel Clark, of Hebron, died at her home Tuesday, July 25th, at the age of 79 years.
Mrs. Clark was born in New York State and came to this county with her parents when she was about ten years of age.
In 1838 she was married to Mr. Clark, her maiden name being Sarah L. Hall. She had always been an active woman, and tenderly and untiringly cared for her husband during his years of invalidism, and up to the time of his death, which occurred in January of the present year, she enjoyed very good health for a woman of her years. Afterward she began to fail in health, and she never recovered from the effects caused by her husband's death -- ever mourning for him. The weight of her sorrow, old age and dropsy combined to bring about her death. Mrs. Clark was a woman who was a kind and gentle mother, a true and loving wife, and a neighbor who was willing at all times to assist those who needed assistance. Her kind acts will survive her for many years. Five children survive her:
- Mrs. J. P. Randall,
- Mrs. C. W. Gorham,
- Mr. Nelson Clark,
- Mr. W. G. Clark, of Hebron, and
- Abel Clark, of Eulalia: also
- a brother, Dennis Hall, and
- a sister, Mrs. Lyman Nelson, who is living in New York State.
The remains of Mrs. Clark were laid to rest in the Greenwood cemetery at Hebron.
Friends by the score and the Enterprise extend sympathy to those who mourn the death of this good woman.

note: What is death by dropsy?
Dropsy, also called edema, meant water retention and swelling. This isn't too helpful as a cause of death, but such a symptom is often caused by heart or kidney problems. Consumption usually indicated tuberculosis, but it actually described a wasting away of the body, so it could refer to other illnesses.
