Mrs. Clara Morris Mick

MRS. G.C. MICK DIED YESTERDAY MORNING

Mrs. Clara Morris Mick, relict of the late George C. Mick, died at 5 o’clock yesterday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C.A. Brockman of Sweeney, Texas, where she had been taken several weeks ago. For some weeks it had been known that she was slowly failing and the end came peacefully yesterday. The funeral will be held today from Iago, with interment in the Wharton cemetery, under direction of Undertaker Ira G. Broughton.
Mrs. Mick was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Morris of Brown county, Ohio, and was born March 29th, 1856. She grew to womanhood at that point, and at the ago of 20 years was united in marriage to George C. Mick. After residing for some six years in Ohio, r. and Mrs. Mick moved to Iowa, in which state they lived one year and then located in Kansas, where they made their home for eleven years. Moving again, they located in Missouri, in which state they made their home for thirteen years, and came to Texas from that state in 1907, settling in Iago, in Wharton County. There Mr. Mick invested in lands, and founded the firm of G.C. Mick & Sons, which business prospered since it’s beginning and which is still being conducted by his sons. He continued at its head until his death in 1918. He also took an active interest in the political affairs of the county and for some years served as commissioner of Precinct No. 1.
After the passing of her husband, Mrs. Mick continued her residence at Iago, and until a few months ago was alert and active. To Mr. and Mrs. Mick were born six children, three sons and three daughters. One of the daughters, Nellie, died in infancy. The surviving children in order of their birth are A.C. , George G., of Iago, Mrs. C.A. Brockman of Sweeny, Fred E., of Iago, and Mrs. Gary Arrington of Sweeney. Irvin Mick Gaston, a foster son, also resides at Iago. There are eleven grandchildren surviving.
In her early girlhood deceased became a member of the Christian church, and through the years of her life lived and practiced its teachings. In her passing there goes to a brighter life one who ever strove to make those about her happy and content, and the world is better for her having lived. The deepest sympathy of the Spectator and its family of readers is extended the bereaved children in their hour of sorrow.
