Alton, Mo. – When Lyle Clary passed away in August, he left a large vacuum in so many ways. One of the ways he is missed is through his expertise in the funeral business. The Clary Funeral Home has been passed down through the generations since it began in 1948. As County Coroner for many years, he was well qualified and ran undefeated.
But with his passing, who will take his place?
