The Cairo Messenger, Friday, July 7, 1916
Mr. M. D. Clower Passes Away Last Thursday Night
The many friends of Mr. M. D. Clower will learn with regret of his death, which
occurred last Thursday evening at nine o'clock at the residence of his brother,
Dr. Eugene Clower. "Mack" as he was familiarly known here, was a native of
Cairo, where he spent his boyhood days. Several years ago he moved to south
Florida, where he was engaged in road construction, a work which he was very
successful with. He made Lakeland headquarters, where his sisters resided.
On April 22nd, last he suffered a stroke of paralysis from which he never
recovered. Dr. Clower attended him and brought him from Lakeland to Cairo
several weeks ago, when it was thought he was improving. After he was
improving, after coming here, his condition improved until about a week before
his death, when he suffered another stroke. He was a member of the Methodist
church and the order of Masons. He was 45 years of age and is survived by
three sisters, Misses Lula V. and Susie Mae, of Lakeland, and Mrs. R. W. Pearce
of Monticello, Fla., two brothers, John T. of Carrabelle and Dr. Eugene Clower
of this city.
He was prominent in business circles in south Florida and his death will
occasion much regret there.
The funeral was held from the residence of Dr. Clower on Saturday morning at
eleven o'clock and was conducted by Rev. J. T Ryder, assisted by Rev. J. B.
Wight. Interment followed at the city cemetery. The following gentlemen acted
as pallbearers: L. B. Powell, W. L. Wight, E. M. Maxwell, J. B. Crawford,
Thomas Wight and D. F. Oliver.
The family have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
