Died--Mrs. Alice M. PIKE

Miss Alice M. COTTON was born at Roche-a-Cri, Adams County, Wisconsin,
April 17, 1869. Was married to Halsey PIKE at Friendship, March 30th, 1890.
She was taken sick April 4 with that dread disease pneumonia, and all that
loving hands could do as well as the best skill of the physician, could not
overcome this disease, and she passed away Saturday April 9th. She leaves
to mourn her loss, a husband and four children, two boys and two girls, the
oldest 13 and the youngest a girl of 3. Mrs. PIKE was a strong believer in
Christ, being a member of the Congregational Church of New Chester, Adams
county, Wisconsin.

The funeral was held from the Methodist church at Oxford Tuesday, Rev.
DuVal preaching from the words found in Luke 8:5? "She is not dead but
sleepeth." The choir rendered some beautiful singing. After the service all
that remained mortal of Mrs. PIKE was tenderly borne to the tomb, there to
await the summons of Him whose voice shall wake the dead.--Central Union
