Lyons Herald, 6 Nov 1919

Thurza Alger was born near Maple Corners, Michigan, December 23, 1848, and died 
in her home in Lyons October 28, 1919; at the age of 70 years, 10 months and 5 
days.

She was the daughter of Orlin and Emily Alger.  At the age of eighteen she was 
united in marriage to Dewitt Perine and to this union three boys were born, the 
youngest of whom preceded her to the glory land.  The older of the other two 
sons, Clarence Burdette Perine, is now residing in Washington state and the 
younger, Marion DeWitt Perine, lives in Montana.

She spent twenty one years in San Francisco, Cal., where she lost all her 
property in the earthquake and fire.  She then returned to Lyons, which was 
about thirteen years ago.  About eight years ago she was joined in matrimony to 
Ransom Howe, who died about four years ago.  Eleven years ago she was happily 
converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church of which she has been an 
earnest and consistent member since that time.

She recently made a visit to her friends in the west, came home sick, 
accompanied by her sister, who remained with her and ministered to her until 
death relieved her from her great sufferings.  She leaves, besides her 
relatives, many friends to mourn their loss, but who are comforted in the fact 
that she died triumphant in the faith.
