- Funeral article in the Island Farmer: "The funeral service for the late Miss Ethel Helen Clark, of Summerside, was held from the Summerside United Church on Sunday afternoon and was conducted by her pastor, Rev. K.G. Sullivan. Many sorrowing friends were in attendance to pay a silent tribute to one so loved and respected by all. The music was directed by Miss Mary Geldart and included a solo: “The Beautiful Garden Of Prayer,” sung by Mr. George Bowness and two Hymns: “Peace Perfect Peace” and “Abide With Me.” The pallbearers were: Messers J. Clarke MacQuarrie, Hudson Lowther, Ellis Webster, T.J. Inman, Benjamin Sharpe and James Connell. Burial was in the family plot in the North Bedeque Cemetery.
Ethel Helen Clark was born 55 years ago in Central Bedeque the daughter of the late Mr. Ewen Clark and Mrs. Emily Inman Clark, who lived on the farm property now owned by Mr. Lloyd Webster. As a child she attended the Mount Stowe School, later going to Charlottetown where she was employed with Carter & Company, later to Cornwall where, in the general store of B. Webster, she was an efficient clerk. Thirty years ago she was engaged as saleslady in the Ready-to-Wear Department of R. T. Holman, Limited. As time passed her true worth was realized by the firm, which promoted her to the head sales lady of her department. Her ready smile, cheerful attention to details, unswerving conscientious loyalty to her employers, coupled with her desire to suit the customers every need, caused her to be a very popular and efficient clerk.
In her home life she left nothing to be desired and, in early life, assumed the care and responsibility of a semi-invalid sister; which trust she kept faithfully till the end. She was a strong, healthy, laughing girl until in late May she was suddenly stricken by a paralytic stroke from which she never recovered. Although never confined to her bed, it was evident to those who loved her best that she was gradually failing and that the strength she coveted so much would never return. Two months ago she went to Carleton to visit her cousins, Mr. & Mrs. Hudson Lowther, and it was while in that home that death came suddenly upon her.
She leaves to mourn, one sister Lulu, in Charlottetown; one half sister, Mrs. Phemie Purdy, in Summerside, and a very large circle of friends who sincerely mourn the passing of one so dearly loved. She was a member of the Summerside United Church; also a member of the Rebekah Lodge whose members attended her funeral in a body and formed a guard from the church to the waiting hearse. To all those bereaved sympathy is extended".
