BROWN COUNTY WOMAN
Death Summons Mrs. A. W. Eygabroad, Formerly of Frederick
Ellendale (N.D.) Record: The subject of this sketch, Clara Parks, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Parks, was born August 15, 1867, at Fredericksburg, Iowa. She was united in marriage with Alanson W. Eygabroad, then of Brown county, South Dakota, December 5, 1890.
Mr. and Mrs. Eygabroad went immediately to Frederick, S. D., from which place, in 1898, they moved to Dickey county, North Dakota. In 1904 they moved to Ellendale, N. D., where they remained until May, 1909, when they returned to Fredericksburg, Iowa, bringing with them the remains of their only daughter, Mae, who died February 25, 1907, aged 13 years 6 months and 4 days, and whose passing filled all the remaining days of this loving mother’s heart with sadness, sorrow and anguish uncontrollable, for death had taken from her the dearest, fairest and sweetest treasure of her life.
Since then she had been in failing health, and for many long, weary weeks she has been waiting the summons to join the innumerable caravan which moves to that mysterious realm where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death, that she might be reunited with the one she so deeply loved and mourned, and who ever brought so much of sunshine and gladness to her home and heart.
