Gone to rest. Clara A. Neier departed this life May 17, 1911; she was born February 9, 1840, in Pennsylvania, and came to Indiana with her parents at a time when this state was little more than a wilderness. She was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Hunsicker who have gone before her into the great beyond. She was married to Ara Frazier, November 22, 1866. To this union were born two sons and four daughters. Mr. Frazier died July 26, 1874, leaving his wife and five small children to mourn. In 1876 she married Samuel Neier and to this union were born two sons. She united with the Baptist church at Carolina at the age of 18, under the preaching of Rev. John Mugg, 53 years ago, to which church she had always retained her membership. Among her greatest social accomplishments was to care for the sick and distressed by deeds of love and affection; no night was too stormy, no time too precious for her to go when called upon to relieve or care for the sick. She grew to womanhood during those early pioneer days when educational facilities were limited and when education was gained by association rather than by instruction. How painful it is to think of her in death, but the Great Creator doeth all things well. She has only gone to a happy home where we may all meet her again if we are ever faithful to those principles and precepts of life. She has gone to be crowned by the everlasting crown not made with hands but eternal in the heavens. She has gone to join her two husbands, and infant son and daughter. Mr. Neier, her second husband, having died March 26, 1919. She has gone where there is no sorrow, sickness or death, where there is eternal rest. She leaves to mourn three sons and three daughters; John E. Frazier, Charles S. and Lewis E. Neier, Mrs. Alice Michael, Mrs. Eliza Huber and Mrs. Irene Branneman. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. M. Holmes and burial was in the Carolina Cemetery.
