Obit For Yarnall, Clara (Higgs)
Headline Mrs. Otto Yarnall
Text Another beautiful life has been completed and the record has been made up in the life book on high, where her spirit was beckoned by the death angel, there to bask in the sweet sunlight of her dear Savior, for accepting Him and living the life prescribed in the great book of books. Her tongue was as pure as silver and she had a heart of gold, with a loving disposition, that made her a lovely character of splendid womanhood.

Miss Clara Higgs was born April 2, 1896 and was a daughter of Mr. John and Mrs. Ona Higgs of the well known family by that name of this county, and died Feb. 20, 1920 of flu pneumonia, aged 23 years, 10 months and 18 days.

She was converted and accepted Christ in October 1909, and united with the New Hope Baptist Church and after her marriage she united with Antioch Baptist Church and remained a member of her death.

On Feb. 8, 1911 she and R. O. [Otto] Yarnall were married and two children, Wilma and Ruth were born and they with the husband survive her. Her parents and three brothers, three sisters and many relatives and friends are mourning because of her departure.

Funeral services were conduced at Maplewood Cemetery near Exeter, Feb. 21, by Rev. J. T. Brattin of Cassville and the remains were interred there.

A large crowd of people assembled at the funeral as a token of esteem, in which they held the deceased.
