Obituary

Mrs. Maria Smith Aller, who was buried here last Tuesday was born in
Vermont, seventy-six years ago. She died at the home of her only child,
Arthur P. Aller at Winnebago, Saturday Jan. 14, 1905 of pneumonia.

Mrs. Aller was a woman of very wide acquaintance, having been strongly
identified here with church work before going with her husband, the late
Peter Aller, to take up the duties of superintending the County Poor Farm.
Here her friendships spread all over Rock County, and when she laid aside
her work there regret was expressed by all.

At the funeral, which was held at the home of Mr. V. A. Axtell on Tuesday
afternoon, the Rev. E. A. Ralph discussed the ideal Christian life from
three view points; the home, society and the church and described the
benefits and results and influences of such a life. A large gathering of
old friends and employees were present to spend an hour in contemplating a
life that, to many, filled the description. Mrs. W. F. Biglow, Miss Powles
and R. D. Hartley rendered three beautiful musical numbers. Interment was
made at Maple Hill Cemetery.

Jan. 21, 1905, The Badger, Evansville, WI
