She was a faithful, loving mother and companion. Her husband died nine years ago, but she bore her loss with Christian fortitude, never murmuring not complaining. She joined the Baptists in Dewitt soon after marriage. Some fifteen years ago she, with her husband, united with the Baptist church at Penfield, and she lived a faithful Christian life until death removed her. Funeral services were held at the late home on Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock, the Rev. G.W. Dodson, of Henning, officiating. The interment took place in Loda cemetery.

Champaign, Ill., December 20. – John R. Alsip, an old and respected farmer, met with a sad death Saturday evening. He returned from selling his grain to a dealer in this city, and walked with three neighbors from the depot home. He left them at his gate, handed some packages to his wife, pumped a pail of water for his horses, and started from the platform with it, slipped on the icy ground and fell, breaking his neck. His wife’s screams called the neighbors back, but he died as they carried him into the house. He leaves a grown-up family.
