     A host of friends in Winchester and Frederick and adjoining counties of Virginia and West Virginia were much grieved today to learn of the death of Mrs. Sue S. Clevenger, wife of Mr. Charles E. Clevenger, one of the most prominent and generally esteemed residents of Frederick county, which occurred early this morning at the family home near Stephenson, five miles north of Winchester. Her age was 70 years, two months and 15 days.

wife's condition, which led many devoted friends to believe that she would eventually recover. She appears, however, to have suffered a relapse, and when it was announced this morning that she had passed away during the night intimate acquaintances here were shocked.

Clevenger; two grandchildren, Genevive and Stanley Clevenger; one brother, Mr. James D. Childs, of Daper, Wis.; one half-sister, Mrs. Emma E. Jackson, and a number of nephews, nieces and other family connections.
     Funeral services will be held at the family residence at 1:30 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, and interment will be in the buryground adjoining the Friends' Meeting House at Hopewell, this county.
