PIONEER WOMAN PASSES AWAY

Laid To rest At The Ripe Age of Eighty Six Years

On the 21st of October, 1832, a baby girl was born to the McCain family at 
Kittanning, Penn. To her was given the name --Rebecca Alice. She passed the 
period of infancy and childhood as common children do. Arrived at womanhood, 
she was united in marriage with J. S. Fairman, with whom she lived until his 
recent death, then after a few weeks of waiting she followed him to the 
great beyond, and on Monday, October 21st -- just fourscore and six years 
after her birth -- her body was laid to rest beside the husband with whom 
she had lived for more than 62 years.

Mrs. Fairman was of the quiet, modest type, faithful to every duty, patient 
in the vicisitudes of life, singularly interested and alert, for one of her 
age, in the movoments of the busy world.

For several years her health and strength have been on the wane and 
realized full well that the time of her departure drew near.

She feared not to go, but desired to remain to care for her husband until 
the sands of life, for him, should have run. Her wish was granted, and soon 
after his departure, she laid her down to rise no more.

She was tenderly cared for by her children as the end drew near and 
lack-for nothing that could minister to her comfort. She died on the eve of 
Saturday, October 19th, "just as the sun went down." With her, we hope and 
trust it was RISING of the sun of an eternal day.

Funeral services were held at the home on Monday afternoon conducted by 
Rev. J. E. Sears. Abundant and beautiful floral offerings bore record of the 
respect and esteem in which she was held in the community where she has 
lived so long. The families bereaved have the sincere sympathy of all. 

Card of Thanks
We desire to express our thanks to our friends and neighbors for their 
thoughtful kindness and sympathy during the illness and death of our mother. 
Charles Fairman and family. Frank Fairman, Fred Fairman and family, Mrs. I.
