Anthony C. Clemmens and wife,
old, well known citizens of Platte township, died at
their residence last week. The wife went first, and although there was said
to be no really perceptible ailment from which Clemmens
was suffering, the bereaved husband took to his bed, and begged those in
attendance not to bury his aged partner until he died, and then bury them
both together. The wishes of the grief stricken old man were heeded to, and
in three hours less than two days after the death of Mrs. Clemmens,
her faithful partner through the long pilgrimage of her life, had joined her
in death and together they will enter the portals of heaven, where they will
receive the rewards of a well spent life.
