| Obituary | Jun 26, 1924 | OBITUARY: The death of Mrs. Clara McKown Dudley, 89, occurred at the home of Mrs. J. H. Williams on Weston Street Monday morning (June 23, 1924), at about 5 o’clock, following a ten days illness with bronchitis. Mrs. Dudley was remarkably active for one of her advanced age, until she suffered a severe illness last summer, which confined her to the bed for several months. During the winter and spring she had made a good recovery, being able to be up most of the time until ten days ago, when she was taken ill with bronchitis. Clara McKown Dudley was born in Watertown, Mass., Jan. 27, 1835, the only daughter of the seven children of Henry and Clarissa (White) McKown. The family moved to Sutton, VT., when she was a small child. She married Levi Dudley in Barton, Feb. 1, 1856. They resided in Cambridge, Mass., for a short time, coming to Randolph 33 years ago, to the farm now owned by J. W. Curran. Several years previous to Mr. Dudley’s death in 1912, they moved to the cottage on South Main Street, which Mrs. Dudley occupied till her illness last summer. Five children were born to them, two of whom survive, Mrs. B.D. DuBois of this town and William B. Dudley of Middleboro, Mass. One brother, Charles McKown of Sutton, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren survive. Mrs. Dudley, even to the last days of her life, maintained a keen interest in public affairs, and her ready wit and cheerful disposition gained for her a large circle of friends. She dedicated her whole life to her home and family, and was a mother, not only to her own children but to her grandchildren, one of whom, Mrs. Leslie H. Ball, spent practically her entire life with her until her marriage. Mrs. Dudley joined the Methodist Church in Barton during her residence in that town. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon, June 25, 1924, at 2 o’clock at the home of Mrs. Belle D. DuBois, Rev. F. Wilson Dy officiating. Burial was in the family lot in South View Cemetery. The bearers were L. H. Ball, E.A. Morse, Robert Luce and E.E. Gifford. A granddaughter, Mrs. Blanche Kinsman of Middleboro, Mass., and a great-granddaughter, Mrs. Robert Luce and husband of Waterbury were here to attend the service.
