    2. Jim Laird
    3. The Mayetta Herald Jackson County Wednesday April 17, 1918 Christina Elizabeth McAlexander was born September 26, 1896, in Mayetta, Kansas, and grew to womanhood in that community. She confessed her faith in Christ in a meeting held by Bro. McFarlane in Holton, in the year 1915. In the year 1916 she was elected as one of the plate bearers and served in that capacity for a year, doing her work splendidly when it was at all possible for her to be present. On April 14, 1917, Christina was married to Albert S. SHOLAR and to this union was born one child, being one day old when the mother departed this life, April 11, being 21 years, 7 months and 15 days of age. Christina was a very loveable girl and her friends have spoken very frankly about her kindness and willingness to help those who were in need of help at all times. Several have said to me "Christina was such a kind and good girl." The funeral services were conducted Sunday morning at the Chruch of Christ in Mayetta by her pastor, who spoke to a very large concourse of friends, from the words of Rev. 21:4, "And there shall be no more death." The quartet rendered some unusually fine pieces. The floral offerings were very beautiful and elaborate. Sister Sholar leaves a loving companion, one baby one day old, father, mother, one sister, six brothers, besides many friends to mourn her untimely death. May the bereaved ones have strength, grace and courage to bear up under this trying time, when their heart strings are being strained so heavily, are the wishes and prayers of their many neighbors and friends. Interment in the Mayetta cemetery. Rev. J.J. Ruppert, Mayetta, Kansas. Card of Thanks. We desire to extend our sincere thanks to our friends and neighbors for thier kindness and help in our time of bereavement. Albert J. Scholar, J. McAlexander and Family.
