    • (From the Bolivar newspaper of 1936--Died April 16, 1936)

      Clara Ella McKinney: Just as life on this earth was breaking through the
      cold, dark days of the winter to live anew in its beauty, it was then that
      God sent the Angel of Death to break the fetters of this mortal life that
      another might live in a new and more glorious life in that "beautiful white
      City where a mansion, a harp and a crown" were awaiting.

      When we think of the long, long days and nights lengthening on, ever on,
      and know we can never be in the presence of our loved ones any more until
      we, too, have made our journey through that valley where only Jesus can
      go with us it makes our hearts so heavy with grief it almost seems as if
      our breath was being crushed from our bodies; then we think how terrible
      it would be should there be no comforting knowledge that they have gone
      to that land where no pain or sorrow ever will come throughout the eternity.

      Clara Ella was born into the home of Joseph and Emily Noyes March 7, 1875.
      On April 13, 1936, she departed this life for a better home, aged 61 years,
      1 month and 6 days. She was the ninth child of a family of twelve. Three
      brothers and one sister died in childhood. Three sisters, Stella Noyes,
      Mrs. Mary Taisey, Mrs. Francious Albert; two brothers, Joseph and Andrew
      Noyes; and her mother, Mrs. Emily Noyes, have passed on one by one, the
      father having died when she was only a child. The first few years of her
      life were spent in Michigan. In her girlhood they came to Missouri, where
      she has since lived. She was married to Lon McKinney Dec. 27, 1897. One
      child, Loyd, died in infancy. Her companion who so fully appreciated her
      help and care, two sons, Floyd and Orra, one daughter, Mrs. Estella Campbell,
      an orphaned niece that was taken into her home when a small child, Mrs.
      Lillian Voris; two brothers Charley, of Leedy, Okla., George Noyes of near
      Van, Mo., three grandsons, Harold and Kenneth McKinney, and Earl Campbell,
      are the immediate family. She was converted in a meeting at Mt. Gilead
      when young and had ever walked close by the side of her Savior, whom she
      so dearly loved and served.

      It makes our heart sad to know that no more can we run across the field
      and into her door for a little visit or help her with some work. Sometimes
      we went and she was gone away; we knew she would come home again though.
      Now no more will she return because she has gone the last mile of the way.
      How glad we were of the privilege of being able to be with her until her
      last days.

      Oh, the many mothers that are in Glory! How they are missed. If only for
      one day they could come back to comfort their lonely children, what a great
      rejoicing. No wonder Jesus said: "Nor yet hath it entered into the heart
      of man what it shall be like." But we know it will be wonderful to be with
      Jesus and the redeemed of all ages.

      When we saw the footsteps of this dear mother beginning to grow slow and
      to falter how we longed to strengthen them and stay the hand of suffering.

      There will be no more listening for the telephone bells to call us to your
      side because you have answered the summons of those Golden Bells that for
      each one will some day ring and our prayer is that everyone will be prepared
      to go as you were, for as death finds our soul so will it be when we come
      to that last Great Judgment Day.

      The funeral services were held by the pastor, Rev. Austin Hook, at Pleasant
      Hill, where her membership was at the time of her passing on Thursday afternoon,
      April 16, 1936.

      Burial in the cemetery there was under the care of Hutcheson-Blue funeral
      home.

      She so often spoke to me of the song, "We'll understand it all bye and
      bye." We cannot understand while here all the trials that come our way,
      but there is one in whom we can put our faith and in whose care we are.

      With grateful hearts we thank everyone for their help and kindness in every
      way during the sickness and bereavement.
