Mrs. Ella Clore, one of the oldest citizens of Waveland, died at her home Monday morning May 29, at 5:30. Death followed an extended illness. For a number of years she had been in failing health, making a brave fight to regain it. All that medical skill and loving hands could do was done unavailingly. She was born Nov 19, 1859 at Troy, MO the daughter of Ann Wright and TW WITHROW. She was married to Marvin Clore, son of Simeon Clore Oct 24, 1880. To them were born five children: Clarence E; Georgiana; Withrow; Harry S and Emma Gaines. The husband preceded her in death Sept 19, 1929. She was the youngest of 8 brothers and sisters, all of whom preceded her in death; also two sons, Clarence and Harry. She was held in esteem for her devotion to her friends. No sacrifice too great fro one whom she considered her loyal friend. Her young life was one of usefulness; had excellent educational advantages; was a student at Wood Lawn College, St. Joseph, Mo; possessed a keen sense of humor; was modest and unassuming. No word of reproach fell from her lips. Intensive kindness of heart. In religion she was Calvinistic. Her grandfather was a minister of that denomination. She had the most abiding faith in the goodness of God. Written by a life-long friend (not named). - kbz
