MOTHER NOTES: Clara Marilla FRENCH-6676 General: !OBITUARY: CLARA MARILLA (FRENCH) PICHT WAS 89 YEARS 30 OLD WHEN SHE DIED. She resided in Story County, Iowa all of her life. In 1918, moved from the family farm to the small Village of Fernald, Iowa until her death. Services and burial were 27 Jan 1951 at the Fernald, Story, Iowa Lutheran Church. Services for her funeral were performed by Reverand E.P. Windman. She is buried at the Nevada, Iowa Cemetary. Pall Bearers were: JOHN PICHT, ANDREW PICHT, RAYMOND PICHT, RALPH PICHT, WILLIAM PICHT, AND VIRGIL NEWHOUSE. At the time of her death, she had 61 living descendants, 23 grandchildren, 32 great grandchildren and 1 great grandchild who died in infancy. She was married to JOHN PICHT 26 Mar, 1882. A notation in her obituary states: "An interesting feature in the life of Mrs. Picht was that her father was a Civil War Veteran, her Grandfather, Micah French, was a soldier in the War of 1812, the later's father and grandfather fought in the American Revolution, and she had two sons in World War I, several grandsons in World War II and at the time of her death had several grandsons in service. It is interesting to note that all these veterans returned home safely from service." Clara was a member of the St. Paul Lutheran Church all of her life and was the First President of the Ladies Aid Society, in which she was active until old age. PERSONAL: (This is a personal remembrance from Roy Junior Picht, received in a letter in July of 1992): Grandma Clara was extremely good- natured and I never recall having seen her lose her temper, although she sure had reason to many times. Shortly before she died, her personality changed and she was very difficult to care for. Except for the last days, she was a quiet peace loving woman and always eager to help.
