CLARK Laura (SRGP 47837) Canton, PA - d. 03 Jul 1891. Mrs Laura M. Strait. The sad event of the death of Mrs. Laura M. CLARK Strait occurred at the residence of L.R. Gleason Esq. in this village on the morning of July 3d. Mrs Strait had just completed her arrangements and was waiting to take the next train to accompany her daughter to her new home in Pueblo, Col., when she was taken suddenly ill and took instead, that long journey to that land "from which no traveler returns". She was the daughter of Josephus Clark, who emigrated in an early day to this state from Mass., and was one of the pioneer settlers of Tioga county, having settled in Rutland where the subject of the sketch was born, May 18, 1824. She was the eldest of a family of eleven children, two, only, of which survive her, Mrs. Mary A. CLARK Corey, of Stuttgardt, Arkansas, and Mrs. Helen M. CLARK Ingraham, wife of Capt. D.P. Ingraham, of Elmira, N.Y. She was the widow of S.S. Strait, late of this place, and sister to B.W. Clark, so well and favorably known among the early business men of Canton, whose widow is now the esteemed wife of our fellow townsman, L.R. Gleason. Mrs Strait was also a sister of the late Julia A. CLARK Humphrey, widow of Dr. A. Humphrey, formerly of Tioga county, Pa.
She leaves of her own family to mourn their great loss, one son, Samuel J. Strait, living near this village, and one daughter, Mrs. D.C. Moran, now of Pueblo, Colorado, where the sympathy of her many friends follow her. Mrs. Strait was fast nearing the allotted age of man, having well entered her 68th year, and in good works was fully ripe for the harvests. She was an acceptable member of the First Baptist church of this place, having united with that society under the pastorate of the Rev. Mr. McGowan.
Although a great sufferer during the few days of her illness, yet she passed away like a child going to sleep, with perfect trust in her Savior, and the sweet, beautiful expression on her countenance as she lay in her casket showed that in her heart could be malice towards none. Though strong in character she was quiet and retiring in her disposition, devoting her great energy to the welfare and happiness of her family, and as a friend remarked, "She was a blessing to any household."
In the pioneer days of our country, before the age of railroads, her father took her in his own carriage to Detroit, Mich., to give her the benefit of a more extended and liberal education than could be obtained in the then comparative wilds of Northern Penna. After her marriage to Mr. Strait, they settled on a farm near Troy, and later moved to Canton, where Mr. strait with her brother B.W. Clark, founded the first bank established in this place, and which has since been her home. Her friends mourn her but not without hope, for they know that all is peace beyond the river.".
