Clara Nulle Dead.
Clara Johanna Anna Nulle is dead. The word flew over our town Monday as on the wings of wind. Wherever it touched it left sorrow and expressions of sympathy for the bereaved ones, which were many and from the heart. Bright, happy and cheerful, Clara carried sunshine with her wherever she went; she had always a smile and a pleasant word for her friends, and her death comes as a dark shadow to those who loved her so well.

Clara was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dick Nulle of our town, and who for the past few weeks has been making her home with Mr. and Mrs. John Musfeldt, south of town, where she had been helping Mrs. Musfeldt with her household duties. On Monday morning she arose cheerful and happy, did up her morning's work, and went into the cellar to do the churning, when she was seized with cramps and was carried up stairs and everything was done that could be to relieve her, but she grew so much worse that her parents were telephoned and asked to come, and send a doctor, so Dr. Williams, as well as her father and mother, started immediately for the Musfeldt home, but on arriving there found that the precious young life had flown. None but those who have had such a bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow. Death is always a hard master but when it strikes down the innocent and young, it seems doubly hard to bear. But He who doeth all things well makes no mistakes. The yearning parents mourn not as one without hope. It is true that when beautiful youth is gone not much of life remains, hence the dear one's eyes are closed to all earthly trials.

Clara Johanna Anna Nulle was born March 25, 1894, and died December 7, 1908. She was baptized when an infant in the German Lutheran church. She has lived among us the few short years of her life and all who knew her had learned to love her. But now she is gone, and while we mourn the absence of one we prized, we know that she has passed from labor to reward.

The funeral was held this afternoon from the Christian church, Rev. Faust, of Westside, officiating. At the close of these solemn services all were permitted to look for the last time on the face of the departed. The floral tributes sent by loyal friends were most beautiful. She was followed to her last resting place by a long procession of sorrowing friends.

Only the memory of the lovely girl is left and although she is gone her memory will remain as a lasting treasure. We sympathize with her mother and father and the sisters who are left behind. May time bring its resignation and may the shores of eternity that receive her soul, surround it with everlasting sunshine and flowers.
