Biography

Daughter of John Robinson Frame and Clarinda Riggs. Clarinda Riggs Frame was born at Millfordton, Ohio, July 13, 1855. Her father, John R. Frame, was one of the pioneer preachers of the Christian church in Illinois and in 1871 made his home in Eureka. It was here that Clarinda was baptized into Christ by Elder Byram McCorkle, who later baptized David N. Stacy at Mt. Zion, On February 9, 1875, she and Mr. Stacy, were united in marriage and made their home here until 1897, when they moved to Muncie, Indiana. One daughter was born to them, Vida L., who still lives to comfort the husband and father, the mother having died at their home in Muncie, Saturday evening, April 8, 1922. Three sisters survive her Mrs. Anna R. Owens, Denver, CoIo., Mrs. Coe V. Cyrus, -Watseka, and Mrs. Mattie Murphy of Los Angeles, California. Her two brothers, J. R, and Artemus Frame, live in Eureka. During their twenty-five years in Muncie the family were members of the Jackson St. Christian church; and Mrs. Stacy was always devoted and helpful, as might have been expected of a daughter of. a devoted Christian family. is fitting the body should be brought here for burial beside "those of her parents in Olio Cemetery. Funeral services were held in Muncie, but it was gratifying to her old friends and neighbors here that a short service was conducted at the home of her brother, A. V., on Tuesday afternoon, by Prof. B. J. Radford. The pallbearers were F. B. Stumpf. R. D. and J. W. Tomb, C. B. Reeser, Edwin Anthony and Dale Frame. In Memory of Our Departed Sister Dear departed sister we loved' thee well, And our sorrow at thy translation no one can tell. Thou didst leave this earth at a ripe and useful age. . This only can the sadness of our hearts assuage. " To help us bear our grief in part, That while on earth no guile was in thy loving heart. , No more on earth we'll see thy smiling face Each day as duty calls us by thy earthly place, 'Twas but the house of clay Which to the grave we bore. Thy precious soul still lives to dwell with Christ forevermore. And thy dear ones in their weakness When they've run their earthly race, May they share with thee thy glory And greet thee face to face. ^[1]
