Leon Reporter, Leon, Iowa
Thursday, February l0, l92lMARY E. WARRINGTON was born Jan. 2l, l849, in Maryland and died January l6, l92l, aged 8l years and 5 days. She came with her parents to Iowa in l854 and lived in High Point Township for the past 67 years. She was united in marriage to ISAAC MCCLEARY, Feb. l4th, l862. To this union were born l2 children. Nine of whom, with her husband, have preceded her. Her husband died Nov. 28, l892. The three remaining children are C.W. MCCLEARY, and J.M. MCCLEARY, of Garden Grove, and MRS. CORA HOUSH, of Davis City. Two brothers, J.H. WARRINGTON, of Garden Grove, and W.W. WARRINGTON, of High Point and one sister, MRS. JULIA DAUGHERTY, of Pomona, Kansas, survive her, and several grandchildren and great grandchildren, besides many friends who mourn the loss of a dear kind mother and true friend.
Her life was one of service. Raising a large family she gave her whole endeavors to devotedly caring for the welfare of her children. She loved to minister to the comfort of anyone needing help. She was generous in her nature, not willing to be served but rather to serve; her trust was in God. Preceding her death she had Christian hymns played in which her soul had found comfort. She was a brave woman, meeting the duties of the pioneer without a murmur. After a life time of sacrifice and service, she has passed to her reward. She has entered into that rest which remaineth for the people of God.
The closing years of her life were spent with her son, C.W. MCCLEARY and family. Every kindness and consideration was shown her and her declining years were cheered by that affection and solicitude which a mother's heart craves from her children and from all those who are near and dear to them. Her last illness was but of a few days' duration. She was stricken with pneumonia and passed peacefully away.
The funeral was held at the High Point Church, Friday afternoon, January 28th, at 2:00 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Guy J. Winslow. The body was laid to rest by the side of her husband and children in the High Point Cemetery.
