OPAL McCLENDON

Appleton City Journal
Appleton City, MO
Thursday, 1 February 1917
Opal, the little fourteen-months old babe of Mr. and Mrs. McClendon, who reside in the southeast part of the city, died very suddenly last Saturday night about eight o’clock. The child had been very weakly all of its life, or almost so, but its death came as a surprise as it was as well as usual to all appearances. Mr. and Mrs. McClendon are comparative strangers in the town, having lived here only about two months. That kindness that is a common characteristic of the kind-hearted people of Appleton City was very manifest in connection with this misfortune.
A brief funeral service was conducted by H.E. Carpenter, Christian minister, at 1:30 Sunday afternoon, after which the remains were interred in the City Cemetery.
