LaClair, Zoah (Zeo) - On Sunday at 12:15 death entered the community and removed one whom God wanted as one of His Saints, as we may call her.

After a period of many years ailment but of only one week of serious sickness Mrs. John LaClair was called to her eternal reward and while there is heart breaking sorrow in the family circle the consolation thoughts remain to those most stricken that for her the passing is but the transition from mortality to immortality. Mrs. Laclair whose maiden name was Zeo Gendron, was born in Burnway, Canada, 80 years ago this coming August. She was married to Mr. LaClair fifty-eight years ago in Chateaugay by the late Father Edmund DePauw. Mrs. LaClair’s life work was in her home and her great ambition was to labor for the comfort of those whom she dearly loved. Amid all her trials and tribulations she never for a moment lost sight o f her God or allowed the most important duties to interfere with her devotion to her church and during her years of residence here she was a faithful attendant and communicant at St. Patrick's church. Her whole life proved a true Christian woman and now she has gone to receive her heavenly reward, promised to those who followed in His footsteps. Many an earnest prayer will ascend to the great throne that God be merciful to her soul. She is survived by her husband and five sons, John, of Leominster, and George, of Detroit, Mich., and William, of Pawtucket, R. I., Zeffrey, Frank, of Cherubusco; four daughters, Mrs. Oliver Taylor, and Mrs. Edward Sancomb, of Chateaugay, Mrs. John Dumont, of Binghamton, and Mrs. Oliver Wood, of Gagetown, Mich., one brother, Lewis Gendron, of Chateaugay, and one sister, Mrs. Octave Pecore, of Worcester, Mass.

LeClair, John Lawrence - John Lawrence LeClair, 28 years of age, a trusty of Clinton Prison, Dannemore, died almost suddenly yesterday afternoon shortly after four o’clock while at work in the prison lumber camp at Alder Bend several miles along the road leading over Dannemora mountain. LeClair was employed in the lumber camp as a logger, driving a horse and skidding logs. Yesterday afternoon he was discovered lying on the ground by another trusty. The trusty notified the guards who in turn summoned Dr. Poultz of the prison medical staff. Upon the doctor’s arrival, LeClair was still alive but passed away while being taken to the prison hospital. Dr. Elmer E. Larkin, of this city, Chief Physician at the prison, performed an autopsy last evening at the direction of Coroner Oliver Lafountain of Champlain. Dr. Larkin found that death was due to a cerebral hemorrhage. This, the doctor said last night, might have been caused by a strain following high blood pressure. At first it was believed that the deceased might have met with foul play but the finding of the doctor at the autopsy disclosed that it was a natural death. LaClair’s home was formerly in Barre, Vt. His alias was “John Johnson.” He was sentenced from Dutchess County on two counts. His first term was from 2 to 4 years for perjury.
