CLYDE A. TERRELL
     Clyde Arthur Terrell, son of Walker and Huldah Terrell, was born April 17, 1887, at Scottsburg, Indiana. He was one of a family of 10 children. The father, mother, two sisters and one brother preceded him in death. Those still living are Samuel, of Bargersville; Nora of Seymour; Maggie of Trafalgar; Hallie of Pekin, and Jacob and Otto of Scottsburg.
     He was married to Effie Dell Anderson March 30, 1907. To this union were born two children: Lalah and Lendall, both residing in Salem.
     His early married life was spent on a farm near Salem and later he followed the same work in the northern part of the state. For the past five years he has lived in Salem and worked at the Salem Lime and Stone company.
     He early in life united with the Methodist church near Pekin, of which he was a member at the time of his death.
     He died Friday, January 22, 1937, aged 49 years, 7 months and 5 days.
     A life has been lived, not long but well. You will miss his handclasp, his smile and words of encouragement. But you will always bare the memory of a life well lived.
     You have the memory of an unselfish life, devoted to duty and those he loved. He returns no more at evening with the dust of honest toil on his shoulders, to greet his family and friends. But to you, you have the rich heritage of the memory of his life of devotion. This shall be your consolation and comfort in this darkest hour. He says to you always, “Carry on! For that is what I want you to do.” His life was gentle and the elements so mixed in him that Nature might stand up and say to all the world, “This was a man.”.

He was buried in January 1937 at Crown Hill Cemetery, Salem, Washington Co., IN.
