CLISTER, Miss Elsie M. (child)

Markleysburg, Aug. 9 - Elsie M. Clister, youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Clister, died Saturday morning, July 30, 1904, at 5 o'clock. Death was caused by dropsy from which Elsie had suffered a year or more without the physicians being able to give her permanent relief. At times she would seem so well and her body would be so little swollen that we hoped she might outgrow her dreaded affliction, but just when our hopes would be highest, she would again have another serious attack, each one making her weaker for the one to follow. In April she had a severe attack and lay very low for five weeks. All hopes of her recovery had been given up, but in time she became so strong seemingly that our hopes were renewed, so that, when she was taken worse on Monday evening, July 25, we hoped that she would again soon recover, but it was not God's will. She was perfectly conscious to the last, knowing everyone, but was so weak she didn't dare to talk. Her stay on earth had been so brief, only two years, nine months and twelve days, yet how dearly we had learned to love her, and oh, how much we miss her. The parents, two brothers, Chester and Sanford, and three sisters, Eva, Stella and Florence, are left to mourn and miss Elsie and await that gathering of the faithful when we all hope to meet our loved one again. Funeral services were conducted at the home by Rev. Ickes on Sunday, July 31, at 2 o'clock. The Markleysburg choir sang Elsie's favorite hymns, "Gathering (unreadable)" "Beckoning Hands" and "We Are Going Down the Valley." The pall bearers were Minnie Heinemor, Mamie McCaffrey, Floe Thomas and Violet Rosenberger. Interment in Sansom Chapel cemetery.

CLISTER, William H.

William H. Clister, one of the outstanding citizens of Fayette County, aged 76 years, died suddenly at 12:30 o'clock Thursday, February 29, 1940 at his home three-fourths of a mile from Flatrock Road on the Flatrock-Markleysburg Road. Services will be held tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Clister was born on the farm on which he died and until the very morning of his death had been active in the management and working of the 200 acres recognized as among the finest farming land in half a dozen counties. A few days ago he had completed arrangements for building a new fence on the property near the home. Mr. Clister had suffered several strokes during the past 14 years, he had rapidly recovered his strength and was apparently in better than ordinary health this week when he was so suddenly stricken. He had been at work on the farm during the morning. Returning to the home, he complained of pressure on the chest and in a few minutes had passed away. Death is believed to have been caused by an embolism. The nucleus of the Clister farm was literally carved out of the mountain fastresses by Mr. Clister's father, who years ago bought the property and cleared it. At that time there was not even a cow path, much less a road, leading to the farm. The elder Mr. Clister cleared the land and developed an outstanding piece of farm land which was conveyed to the son who continued the agricultural efforts, adding to the property until the present approximate 200 acres. William H. Clister was active in the affairs of the church, bring[sic] a member of the Methodist denomination. A number of years ago, he was one of the moving spirits which built the Union church near the Clister home, and throughout his life took an active interest in maintaining the church property in which members of the great Faiths worship together. He was active in community affairs also. A man of sterling character, of pronounced convictions and of great sympathetic understanding, he endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact. Frequently, Mr. Clister, reminiscing with his friends, would tell of hearing the first battle of Bull Run of the Civil war. As a boy of tender age, he did not see the battle, but could hear the firing and feel the reverberations. His descriptions were always vivid. Mr. Clister was born on July 14, 1864. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Sophia Sproul Clister, now past 61 years of age, and four children, Mrs. Eva Williams of Grantsville R.D.; Miss Estella Clister, at home; Mrs. Florence Williams of Grantsville R.D; and C. H. Clister, of 93 Walnut Street, Uniontown. Elsie Clister died in infancy, and Sanford G. died a few years ago. Also surviving are 13 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at the home at 3 P.M. Sunday afternoon with Rev. Mr. Crow officiating. Burial will be in the Addison Cemetery. Pallbearers will be nephews of Mr. Clister.
