Mrs. Maud Brault, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Harling was born in Clifton June 10, 1880, and died at her home in Clifton Tuesday evening June 14, 1938, aged 58 years and 4 days.
Her death was not unexpected, as she had been very low for weeks, and a patient and uncomplaining sufferer from that dread disease, cancer, for a number of years. Everything that human hands and human skill could do-had been doe for her, but all were unavailing to save her life; and to her, death was a blessed relief from unendurable pain.
She spent her entire life in Clifton. She attended the village schools here, and in the spring of 1897 received a teacher's certificate. That fall she began teaching and continued in that profession until her marriage to J. Wilfred Brault Jan. 19, 1904.
To Mr. and Mrs. Brault a daughter Alice Mae, was born, who with her grief stricken father survives. Other surviving relatives are her oldest sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Dowdell, of Iowa; brothers, Edwin Harling, and Bert Harling, of Clifton; Harry F. Harling and Guy Harling, of Chicago; Will Harling, of Kansas City, Kan.; George Harling, of Durant, IA., and Ralph Harling, besides numerous nieces and nephews.
She was a member in good standing of the Royal Neighbors; had been a member for many years of the O.E.S. but had withdrawn her membership, when she became unable to share in the activities of the order; held membership in the Women's Club, and was a faithful member of the Congregational church, taking an active and interested part in all church activities as long as she was able.
Funeral services are being conducted this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Congregational church, with Rev. E.E. Hoats, of Somonauk, a close friend of the family, in charge of the services.
