  • Notes 
    • Henry Converse and wife visited their daughter, Mrs. Clara Peck in Bloomington over Sunday. They drove to that city taking with them a fine cow, worth 450, which they gave to Mrs. Peck.

    • Going to Kansas
      Mr. and Mrs. Henry Converse will leave Clinton Monday morning, perhaps never to return to make this their home. They will go to Hannibal, Mo., and visit their son Frank, who is an engineer on the C.B.&Q. From there they will go to Waverly, Kan., where their son Charles lives, and is a banker. He is anxious for them to make their home in that city, and they may decide to do so. Mr. Converse has lived in this county over forty years, and his many friends wish him well.

      Mrs. Henry Converse Called from Earth in Bloomington – Brought to Clinton for Burial
      Last Friday Mrs. Clarinda Converse, wife of Henry Converse, was at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A.H. Peck in Bloomington. A storm was coming up, and Mrs. Converse hastened to her home which was a short distance away. When she arrived home, she sank down on the step and died in a few moments, heart trouble being the cause of death. Twice before she had been dangerously near death’s door.
      Clarinda Weaver was born in Union county, O., Aug. 17, 1840. When she was six years old, her parents came to this county and settled on what is now known as the Gus Weaver farm, west of Clinton. Her father, Solomon Weaver, died in 1884, and her mother died March 11, 1898. July 23, 1860, she was married to Henry Converse, and had lived in or near Clinton almost continuously since. Their three children are Mrs. Clara Peck, of Bloomington; Chas. N., of Waverly, Kan., and Frank L., Hannibal, Mo. Last August they went to Waverly to make an extended visit. In March they returned to Bloomington to live. She had long been a member of the Baptist church, and was a faithful Christian.
      The remains were brought to Clinton Monday afternoon, and funeral services were held in the Baptist church, conducted by Rev. Goff. Burial was in the family burying ground on the old homestead.
      The Clinton Register, Clinton, Illinois. Saturday, 5 June 1898.
