Copsins, Honored On 98th Birthday By MRS. A. H. COUNTS Mrs. Ida L. Clamp was honored on the occasion of her 98th birth day Tuesday, when members of her Sunday School class and the women of Smyrna Presbyterian Church surprised her with a shower of food at her home in the Smyrna Community. That night she was honor guest at a steak supper at the church. Other visitors during the day included her pastor, Rev*. O. C. Brown, who led in prayer and read from the book of Ecclesiastes one of her favorite verses, “Re member thy Creator in the days of thy youth.” Mrs. Clamp says she told her pastor, “I am s .i young in that respect.” Mrs. Clamp has been an active member throughout her life. She worked in the missionary society, taught a young people’s Sunday school class and organized the Junior Choir. She was always ac customed to having family altar worship at her home. Until several years ago she drove her car to home demon stration club meetings, to church and to shop. A few years ago she gave her car, a 1935 model, to R. C. Longshore of Belton, her only child. Mrs. Clamp lives alone. A maid comes every day to prepare her meals. She says she eats very little. She is proud that she has such wonderful neighbors, who come in frequently to see how she is getting along and bring her nice things that she ran eat. She finds that walking is getting difficult, especially c 1 i m b in g steps. She continues to subscribe to daily and county newspapers, a farm paper and several periodi cals, although she is able to read only the headlines. Her hearing is good, and she enjoys talking with friends and neighbors on the phone. Asked when certain events oc curred, Mrs. Clamp replied, “I’ve had so many birthdays that I can’t recall what happened and when,” Mrs. Clamp can look back to a long life of service to her church and community. Friends recall that during World War II, when gasoline and tires were scarce. Mrs. Clamp gladly shared hw -car in bringing others in her community to the doctor or the dentist or to shop. Time and again during the war she brought a car ful of women to the Red Cross center, where they made bandages.
