Mrs. Tarwater's maiden name was Miss Clarissa Lewis, daughter of Mr. Samuel Lewis, deceased, a pioneer settler of Ray county. She was born June 15, 1832, and would have been 82 years old, had she lived until the 15th of this month. After reaching young womanhood she was united in marriage with Mr. Pink Tarwater, and of this union fourteen children were born, seven of whom, four sons and three daughters survive her. For more than forty years, Aunt Clarissa as she was familiarly called by most every one who knew her, had been a consistent member of the Baptist church and until old age began to fall heavily upon her shoulders, she was a regular attendant. She was a good woman, a loving wife, a devoted mother and she lived a good christian life and in her passing left a heritage of good deeds that will live and bear fruit for years to come. Burial was made in the Lewis cemetery Wednesday afternoon, following a funeral service held at the grave, conducted by Rev. D. M. Trout, pastor of the Baptist church. **This obituary shows her father as Stephen Lewis. Stephen Lewis was her grandfather. Missouri Death Certificate shows: Parents: John Lewis and Millie Harden.
