Read More	From the Brock Bulletin, Thursday, June 5, 1919: Elizabeth Robertson Clapp was born in Vermillion County, Illinois Sep 7 1842 and died in Brock Nebraska May 31, 1919 aged 76 years, 8 months and 24 days. She was married to Geo A. Clapp in 1866, 1st LT in the civil war. To this marriage 4 children were born, Mrs. Geo Childers (Laura Ella); Mrs. Geo Knox (Cora Elizabeth); Charles Edmond Clapp of Tecumseh and Geo Otis Clapp of Adams. At the age of 18 Mrs. Clapp united with the Methodist Church and lived a faithful Christian life until her death, living almost 60 years in the service of her Master. In the spring of 1873, Mr. and Mrs. Clapp moved from Illinois to Nebraska with their children, locating on a farm near Brock. As the years went by, the children left for homes of their own, and failing health coming on, the parents sold the farm and moved to Brock where Mr. Clapp died 8 years ago. From a former marriage, Mr. Clapp was left with 3 children whom Mrs. Clapp cared for as her own until they also went to homes of their own. They are Mrs. Martha Mathews if Minatare, NE; Dr C.B. Clapp of Moberly, Mo; and I.D. Clapp of Homestead, FL. She leaves besides these, 7 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. The deceased had been in failing health for 3 years. Nearly 2 years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Childers left their home in Pullman, Washington state to come and live with her so she could be in her own home and have their care. She had a light stroke of paralysis last summer, and a second one in March, from which she rallied, but was taken ill in May, gradually growing worse until death ended her suffering. The deceased delighted in doing acts of kindness for all with whom she came in contact--for her family and friends, and also for the needy, and she was appreciative of the thoughtfulness of others to her. The funeral services occurred Monday afternoon in the Methodist Church, Reverend Geo Almond conducting the services. Burial took place in Lafayette Cemetery in Brock Nebraska. The large audience in attendance at the church was proof of the high esteem held for Mrs. Clapp in her home place. CARD OF THANKS: We wish to extend our thanks for the many acts of kindness and the deep sympathy shown during the illness and death of our mother. Signed, Mrs. Geo Childers, Charles Clapp, Geo Clapp, Mrs. Cora Knox.
