YOUNG LIFE ENDED 
Alice Gertrude Simons Answers Call of Death.

  Thursday morning at 8.30 o'clock,  Miss Alice Gertrude Simons died at 
her home, No. 1564 Logan avenue from a complication of diseases. Miss 
Simons has not been in the best of health for quite a long time 
although she continued at her work as usual until two weeks ago; when 
she was compelled to remain at home, later taking her bed. She grew 
gradually worse until God in His good and wise providence called her 
home to rest.  Miss Simons was not a member of any church, but her 
faith in the Master gave evidence that she was ready to go home and 
when the end came, she passed peacefully away, fully trusting in her 
God.
  Alice Gertrude Simons was born at Mt. Union September 15, 1881, 
making her age 27 years, 3 months and 15 days.  In 1887, she moved with 
her parents to Tyrone, where she has resided ever since. She was 
employed as a counter at the Morrison and Cass paper mill and was 
considered an exemplary young lady in every respect, having the esteem 
and love of all her associates. She leaves to mourn her death a loving 
mother and the following brothers and sisters: Oscar, of Williamsburg; 
Clarence, Mrs. Harry Scruders and Miss Anna Simons, of Tyrone.
  Brief services were conducted at the home on Logan ave. on Saturday 
morning at 10:30. The body was taken to Mt. Union where short services 
were held at the home of A. Simons. Interment was made at Mt. Union.  
On Sunday morning at 10.30 o'clock, the regular funeral sermon was 
preached in the U B. church on Pennsylvania avenue.
