Proposed 'Gongregatioal Church on Fifth Street,
The cut helow represents the*proi>Qsed new Congregational'church,, lb Is
to be a modern brick veneer with auditorium iitii feet and Wing 30 x 50
feet. The auditorium proper will Beat 200 and thfe wing 200, without bringing chairs. The latter is designed for Sunday school work with plenty, of
class rooms and will be separated from the main part of the church by adjustable doors by which both rooms can be made available for one auditorium.
The pulpit will be ab the eaSb angle of the winged main building so as to
have the speaker face the entire audience wibh the choir bshind the pulpit.
At present Clare's churches except; St. Cecelia's are nob at all inkeep-
ing with her general material development Her public schools, her opera
house, her modern brick stores arein striking contrast bo the old fashioned, in
some cases, tumble down structures called churches,    They as a whole do

not represent very great interest in that side of life that is usually judged to
be an index of a community's moral and intellectual advancement The
new church slfcuabed on one ofthe principal residence sbreebs ancl on a street
leading direcbly from the union depot to the business secbton will be bobh an
ornament bo the city and recogniblon of Clare's need to advance in the better
things that make up human life.
The present church building, the fir st church erected in Clare, was built
thirty-three years ago. Ib stands on posts which are settling badly and something must be done. To-day ib is a matter of choice between putting from
$l,0i'0 to $2,000 on the old sturcbure and still have an old, incommodious building when the money Is Bpentor to go ahead and erect a modern church".
Within recent weeks the pastor, Rev. W. Jerome Frost, with some of the
church leaders have been going over bhe situation and are very sanguine of
bhe success ofthe project. The church building commibbee and the official
board both approve the plan. The membership of the church as a body will
bake final action thereon nexb Monday evening

Mrs. J. F. Tatman _
Mrs, .Lizzie Alina Tatrrian, Wife.of
James F. Tatman* of this city, departed this life at her home, west State
street, at tour o'clock last Sunday
morning. Funeral services were held
ab the home Tuesday afternoon at j
two o'clock, Rev. G. W. Maxwellspeak-
ing words of comfort to the mourning
friends with eulogy for the deceased.    _ •
In many respects this is one of tbe
••addest fatal! ties that has come to our
community, a womafr whoba-s struggled bravely aga'nsb reverses to gain a
hoi»p, meanwhile rearing a family; a*
fond mother, not alone caring for her
own bub also taking the care of her
dead sister's child, a lovingwlfe of her
husbands ear.'y nnnhood; a neighbor
most kindly thought of; a friend who
was always •■.ux.i-iu-; bo help in time of
need an-1 who ever had unwilling ears
to hear ill of others, whose home was
always open, nob aloae'to friends but
to friends' friends and acquaintances
and whose circle of friends sesms unlimited; a citizm, loyal in her support
of every right thing and anxious always for the very besb for her* home
and town, a christian whose life was
truly helpful and a member of the
church of God, for all these, and many
more she will be missed, not only by
her own family bub by sorrowing
friends bo whom bhe lois seems personal.
Starting In with her husband when
their finances were low she has aided
him in every way to secure bheir beau-
biful home and now when life seemed
mosb enjoyable and a grown family of
happy children to help shire her happiness, she is thus taken away from it
all. A beautiful home is deprived of a
wife and mother and bhe cnurch has
lost a loyal supporter. A mosb cheerful, happy, loving disposition was hers
and she radiated cheerfulness to all
about her.
Returning from a month's visit to
her friend, Mrs. O. S, Chase, ab Mun-
iaing in-the early part of the summer,
she began to prepare, after an insufficient rest, for a pleasure trip to Buffalo and Niagara Fails in company with
her husband and Dr. T. H. Maynard..
.While on this trip she became ill.
Her husband hastened hbme with her
and ever since has been unceasing in
his care for her, also Mrs. S. C, Chase
of Munsing came to attend her friend,
'but in spite of constant care sbe gradually grew weaker and seemed to be
losing sight of earthly things and after thirty-three days bhis illness terminated in her death, surrounded by
her family While nob unexpected
yet the news cameas a blow to everyone and the death of Mrs, Tatman
will long be felt by a sorrowing .community.
