Mary Riner was born in Warren County, Indiana, January 20, 1838 and died of congestive chill in Burr Oak, Kansas, February 11, 1889. She moved with her parents to Iroquois County, Illinois in 1850, was converted at the age of fifteen and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church of which she was a consistent member. She married George M. Hunt, January 21, 1858. Three children blessed this union, two of whom are still living. She was left a widow in 1866 and soon afterward married Benjamin F. Clayton, who also proceeded her to the better land. To this union were born two sons and one daughter. She made many friends wherever she lived, being of a very sympathetic nature, always ready to respond to the call of the sick or anyone in trouble. Her funeral was preached at the M.E. church by Rev. D. Harrison
