Springs Valley Herald (August 26, 1937) A Tribute
With the
dawning of each new day of our lives we take a "Forward Look" of hope
and expectancy into the unknown future.
Today,
we have been called upon to take a "Backward Look" over the life of a
companion, mother, neighbor, friend; one whose life here has ceased,
but whose influence lingers on.
The
silver cord of life of Etta Newton Claxton, wife of Edward K. Claxton,
which was held with such tender care, has slipped from out our fingers,
to live anew in another realm.
We
are left with only the treasured memories of her, and these with the
unspoken tributes, are life rays of light amid the shadows.
Mrs.
Claxton was reserved in her life, her home being her throne, and the
welfare of her family her chief concern. Her mother live was copiously
poured out for her children.
She
never sought publicity, or attention for herself, but rendered service
for the love of others, even as, with joy the stars perform their
shining.
She has a
fine appreciation
of the beautiful in everything. Her inborn talent for art was evident
everywhere throughout her home and her handiwork adorned every nook and
cranny.
She was most
generous-hearted, always sharing with others, thereby exemplifying the
truth that "It is more blessed to give than to receive."
The
years of this companion and mother were too few as we would think, but
we know we must bow to the will of Him who knows what is best for her
who is gone, as well as for us who are left.
May
all her admonitions be remembered and kept, knowing that ere long it
will be our happy privilege to see the face again "which we loved long
since and lost awhile." Kate P. Claxton.
CARD OF THANKS
We
wish to express our thanks and appreciation for the kindness of our
friends during the recent illness and death of our wife and mother. We
are deeply grateful for the support which these acts of sympathy gave
us during the days of illness and hour of bereavement. E. L. Claxton
and Children. Submitted byTom Agan.

Mrs. Martha Brown, one sister, Mrs. Chrisenia Allen, four grandchildren
and a host of other relatives and friends. In his going the family has
lost a kind and loving husband and father, the church a faithful member
