CLIFFORD ALTON MATHENY

Litchfield and Darwin Relatives Attend the Funeral of Mr. Matheny at Blackduck

The funeral of Clifford A. Matheny of Blackduck was held Wednesday of last week from the Matheny farm home near that village, with Rev. Paul officiating, and burial followed in the Blackduck Cemetery.

Mr. Matheny died at his home on October 23.  Born near Darwin, Meeker County, in 1872, he removed to Stearns County in 1883 with his parents and settled on a farm near Eden Lake.  In 1897 he married Alzora Olmstead and in 1904 the family moved to Blackduck where he resided until his death.  He is survived by his wife;  four daughters;  Mrs. Tom Lindsey of Grand Rapids, Mrs. Wm. Brownlee of Goodland, Mrs. Wm. Swarthout of California and Mrs. James Jensen of Blackduck, and five sons;  Ronald, Kenneth, Bruce and Ralph of Blackduck and Keith of Fargo.

Several Litchfield and Darwin relatives attended the funeral.

Note:  The Rev. Paul who officiated at the funeral of Clifford Alton Matheny was Andrew Jackson Paul, who would become Ralph Matheny's father-in-law.
