TROY NEWS
Mrs. R. E. Clay
Eliza A. Hegarty was born in
Watford, Ontario, Candada on May
23, 1873. She married J. P. Bart
lett in Dolan, S. D.. October 3,
1893. 1895 brought the new fam
ily to the newly opened up territory
of Montana. They located in Troy
where their only child, William
Earle was born Mr Bartlett pas

P Thera are left to cherish her
memory her husband and grand-,
tt SdTuX-Ä
and Jeanne of Portland, Ore.; two
brothers, James and William Heg
arty of Raymond, S. D.; and two
si tessr.M.E sr
sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson of
Ingersoll, Ont., and Mrs.
Metzof of Ashton, Ida., besides many
other relatives and a host of friends,
Her grandson Richard Bartlett who
was with the 330th Bomber Group
was killed in action on November
13, 1943.
Mrs. Clay, a true pioneer, knew
the deep joy and satisfaction of
neighborly service and kindliness
that, ever present in this friendly!
community, was even more notice
able in those early days. In time
of sickness and other need people
were compelled to depend upon
each other for there was no mod
ern means of travel. This neighbor
liness was one of Mrs. Clay's many
fine characteristics and to many
Troy will not seem the same with-■
out her.
When it w'as evident that modern
science could not restore her fail-]
ing health, Mrs. Clay accepted the}
fact with Christian grace. Her un
faltering trust sustained her through
these hours as it had done in times
of deepest grief.
A deep devotion to her home and
family characterized this woman of
keen business acumen, deep loyalty
and sunny disposition. She was a
valued member of the Methodisi
church and was one of those who.;e
efforts gave Troy the present sanc
tuary. She was a member of the
Woman's Society of Christian Ser
vice as well as of the Order of the
Eastern Star; a châtier member both
of the Troy Woman's Club and the
Pioneer Club.
Once again with outstretched
arms the Master whom she served
so devoutly while on earth has
swung the gates inward to admit
his handmaiden. "Well done thou
good and faithful servant enter thou
into the joy of thy lord.''
Her funeral was conducted by
her beloved pastor, Rev. E. Roy
Fort, from the Methodist Church on
June 17. Many friends gathered
to pay tribute to the one who had
gone. There were many beautiful
floral tributes. Music was furnish
ed by Mrs. Roy Maness, Mrs. Roger
Kensler and Miss Anita Sagen. The
pall bearers, neighbors and friends
of long standing were: Messrs D. F.
Fewkes, Harry Anderson, Jack Haa
land, Lee Kensler, Harry Ford and
Robert Russell.
Interment was in the Troy ceme
Ellen
Relatives of Mr. Clay who attend
ed the funeral from out of town
were; Mr. R. H. Clay, Mr .and Mrs.
Loren Meachen, all of Spokane and
Mrs. Jack Shaner of St. Maries,
Ida. Mrs. Metz, Mrs. Clay's sister,
was present as was Mrs. Ralph Akm
from Garfield.
Fire Destroys New
Ranch Home
When Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sand
ers and son Bob of Iron Creek,
left home on Thursday evening to
come to town to attend the show,
little did they realize that when
the show was over they would be
unable to return to that home. Yet
such was the case, for when the
show was over a lurid glow illumi
nated the horizon and when they
reached home the house was burned
so that to enter was impractical.
The entire contents were completely
lost. A small safe contained the
valuable papers and Mr. Sanders
hopes that these may be saved.
While they are somewhat crisped
so that they cannot be handled
they are legible. The washing
machine was saved.
It is supposed that lightning set
this fire as there was a severe storm
on that night and it was apparently
very close to Troy. The house was
modern and recently completed. As
there was no insurance it is a very
severe loss at any time but more
so now when building materials
are so difficult to obtain. Mr. and
Mrs. Sanders are carrying on and
adapting themselves to the use of
many makeshifts. The haying sea
son is on and Mr. Sanders is work
ing at that while the temporary
quarters are set up in an outbuild
ing.
E. V. Koch Injured
On Monday, E. V. Kock went to
Bonner's Ferry where he consulted
his doctor. While Mr. Koch was
hanging a telephone line along trail
No. 50 he had the misfortune to {
drop out of a tree. In so doing
he injured his ankle. While severe j
pain followed an X-ray revealed
that there were no broken bones,
but a sprain had resulted. He ex
pects to return to work on the first
of next week.
Friendly Club
On Thursday the Friendly Club
met at the home of Mrs. Rufus
Cripe with Mrs. Joe Collogan as
sisting. The regular pot luck din
ner w as m re d at noon and the re
mainder of the day spent making
quilt blocks.
Mrs. Henry Cole and Mrs. Par-;
ker were winners at the games
played.
The next'meeting will be in the
form of a picnic at Kootenai Falls
June 27. Members desiring a ride:
are requested to meet at the Geo.
Webb home at 11:30 a. m.
