The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, February 8, 1906 MRS. ALICE E. CURRY, wife of W.S. CURRY, passed peacefully away at her home in this city on Thursday, February 1, 1906, at the age of 33 years, 6 months and 15 days, after an illness of over two months with toxemia poisoning, caused by liver and stomach trouble. All that loving hands and medical skill could do was done to restore her to health but all was of no avail and after intense suffering she entered into eternal rest. ALICE E. MARKHAM was born in the State of Wisconsin, July 16, 1872. At 12 years of age she removed with the family to Thomas County, Kansas, growing to young womanhood there. She was married at Norton, Kansas, Dec. 5, 1894, to MR. W.S. CURRY. To this union was born one child, HAZEL, aged 10 years, who with the husband are thus left bereaved -- the one of a kind and loving mother, the other of a faithful and loving wife. She is also survived by one sister, MRS. STELLA WYGANT of Moscow, Idaho, who was unable to be present at the last sad rites. In early girlhood deceased united with the Christian Church and was always a zealous and faithful servant of the Master. She and her husband came to Chariton, Iowa, in Dec., 1895, where she has since resided. She, during these years, has been one of the most faithful members of the Christian Church here, and a valued worker in the church and aid society. The many, many inquiries and messages of cheer during her last sickness and concourse of sympathizing friends bear evidence of the esteem in which she was held by all who knew her. The real fruit of such a pure and womanly life can be known only at the harvest home of the angel reapers. Funeral services were held Saturday forenoon from the home, conducted by Mr. C.F. Ward, Minister for the Christian Church. Interment was in the Chariton Cemetery. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert September 25, 2004 [email protected]
