STEUBEN REPUBLICAN, May 5, 1875, pg. 3, col.5

                        DIED

	Powers-April 15th, 1875, of cancer in the breast, at 
Northwest, Williams Co., Ohio, Clara L. Jones (formerly 
of East Milan) wife of Edwin Powers, aged 39 years.

			She sleeps, and never more
			  Shall pain distort her brow;
			Her sufferings all are o'er,
			  Her white hands folded now.
			A husband's tender care
			  Strove long to keep her here,
	          And children, sweet and fair,
			  Clung to that mother dear.
			Brothers' and sisters' love
			  Would fain have stayed the dart
			Stern Death, his power to prove,
			  Had aimed at Clara's heart.
			But she, with patient smile,
			  Bore all with meekest grace,
			And murmuring not the while,
			  Passed on to death's embrace.
			No more we'll meet thee here,
			  But on that better shore
			Thou'll greet us, sister dear,
			  Where partings are no more.
                                    E. E. B.
