Sister Clement Dead

Life Devoted to Charity - Called to Her Reward.

Sister Clement, nee Florence O'Donnell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George O'Donnell, peacefully passed away yesterday at 12 o'clock in St. Joseph's hospital. Her beloved parents reached Lewiston from Moscow a few minutes after she had gone to her heavenly spouse, Jesus Christ, whom she tenderly loved and faithfully served during her brief career of twenty-four years in this valley of tears. She was a bright and intelligent student at the Sisters' academy in Coeur d'Alene and in Moscow; she was loved and admired at our normal school previous to her entering the convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Lewiston. She was a most successful teacher in St. Stanislaus school up to the closing of the school in October, and above all she was earnest, cheerful, devout and faithfully religious. She took the habit of the congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Lewiston on July 2, 1916, made her novitiate for the space of two years, and on July 2, 1918, she made her profession, thus consecrating herself irrevocably to God by the three vows of voluntary poverty, complete chastity and perfect obedience to God in the person of her superiors. Needless to say, the Sisters, her beloved parents, her brother, her pupils, who so tenderly loved and admired her, are all grieving over the loss of so precious a life at the very outset of a most successful career. May the God whom she loved and served so faithfully reward her labors and console her deeply afflicted parents, Sisters and friends. The funeral will take place at 9 o'clock this morning from St. Joseph's hospital.
