'Discovered' At Ninety She Is Honored In Tomb
Seeking Out the 'Original Daughters'of the Amer. ican Revolution, Order Unveils Shaft to Miss Clifton
By DOCIA KARELL
PAST and present merged into the smooth current of ageless time for a brief period yesterday as more than 200 persona, city folk and coun- try folk, old and young, stranger and kinsman, gathered in a remote little Ozarks' burying-ground to do honor to an "original Daughter" of the American Revolution.
The setting was idyllic-the air scintillant in its aunlit clarity, both crisp and soft: the sky pure azure: the surrounding hills in the remote and Sabbath serenity glowing with the farflung tapestry of autumn. richly colorful in their intricate blendings of a thousand browns. bright golds. old greens, vivid crim- sons and occasional scarlet, all melt- ing together in purple haze on the horizon.
MARKER HONORS MEMORY -
+
The little Clifton burying ground, a few miles south from Marshfield, Is reached only over old country roads rocky and winding: it reposes in a umall clearing. exposed to spring rains and summer suns, autumn winds and winter snowa, except for the shelter of one great tree which spreads a grateful shade directly over the graves of Nathan Clifton. : Revolutionary soldier buried to 1862. and Evaline Clifton. his daughter. buried near him in 1912.
To Miss Clifton's grave members of the Rachel Donelson chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion came yesterday afternoon to ' dedicate a monument ard a bronze marker erected in her honor by the - chapter. Members of the Clifton family relationship came for the ceremony, and old neighbors from the country round and from Marsh- field. Automobiles were parked and horses hitched along the road, as the celebrante found their way to the lit- tle burying plot afoot.
OBJECTIVE IS EXPLAINED -
A grand-nephew of Miss Clifton's acted as master of ceremonies- - Maj-
or Robert William Lindenstruth. of Marshfield. himself a veteran of the World war. The monument at the head of her grave was draped in the
large, worn flag which Major Linden- struth explained had been used dur- Ing. the wer, and. the grave itpelf was d airy mertw of autumn

R., then told briefly of the work of that organization, and its purpose to find and to mark the graves of "real Daughters" whenever it is pos- sible. She explained also the object to preserve and to mark historic spots for the Inspiration of future genera- tlons.

LOYAL UNTO DEATH
8. A. Shelton of Marshfield, former member of Congress, made a patriotic address in which he traced the ala- tory of the Amer.can nation through Its various wars. from the days of the Revolution in which Nathan Clifton fought to those of the world war well remembered, by most of those pres- ent.
Major Lindenstrutir himseif spoke on behalf of members of the Clifton family. :. I.d recalled his boyhood memories of Miss Clifton. "She was loyal." he said. "She gave up the beaux of her girlhood. to remain loyal to her father when he needed her care in his old age -- a thing very few young women would do.
"Although she never knew the Jots ot mothering children of her own flesh. when her brother died she raised his children, and was a real mother to them."
Although strong In her own faith- "she lived it and died it \'Major Lin- denstruth sald-she never was heard to breathe a word of criticism for any other rellgion, he said.

By CELIA RAY
THE Reverend E. C. Bechler, pes- tor of the Central Christian church and president of the Springs fleid Ministerial alliance, was born on a farm seven miles southwest of Buffalo. He lived there until he was grown except for a short in- terval when he Ilved in Buffalo. He really could claim then to be a citizen of both Polk and Dallas counties for his father's farm was divided by the county line.
"I have a warm feeling toward Buffalo and the people that live :a that community," said Mr. Sechler. "I thin' it is the best inland town I know about. It has an unusually high class of citizens-fine, stald old families who have lived there many years."
During the past summer Mr. Sechler returned to the old home for a visit. His parents left the farm several years ' ago and moved to Springfield, but he found many old friends he had not seen for many years.
"I visited .the Prairie Grove church, about a mile from our old home," he said. "It was the'church I attended until I was 14 years of age. I-saw people there I hadn't met for 25 years."
A homecoming service was being held at the church and Mr. Sechler preached in the afternoon. During the day he visited with Silas King. 70 years of age. a leader in the Prairie Grove church he hadn't seen for 10 years, and with many other friends he had known since boyhood.
The Prairie Grove church has furnished about six preachers to the Christian denomination. These in- clude besides Mr. Sechler his twin brother. Earl Sechler who is engaged in church missionary work with headquarters in Springfield: Virgil Walker, formerly pastor of a St. Paul. Minn .. church. who recently moved to Springfield to engage in evangelistic work: Ardra Walker. pastor at Corpus Christi. Texas, and John Gregg, pastor at Fair Grove.
Dallas county. Mr. Sechler said. has been called the "preacher in- cubator" of Missouri. It has fur- nished about 30 ministers in the Christian church. many of them among the leaders-of the denomina- tion:
