The last week has been an eventful one in the home of Mrs. Katherine Himes. One week ago last Thursday her doors were opened to receive her son, Perry, and his bride, her other sons with their families being present to join in the merry feast. But in one week from that day her son, George, was called upon to give his wife to death’s cold embrace. Thus in the space of one week one daughter was added to the family and another taken away. Such is life and such is death! Joy and sorrow forever walk hand in hand.
Alice May Graybill Himes was born Jan. 3, 1872, died Nov. 8, 1900, aged 28 years, 9 months, and 5 days. A husband and two little sons are left to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and mother.
She was a Rathbone sister of Dew Drop Temple, No. 89, New Market. Alice was a kind friend and neighbor and will be greatly missed in her community. Her illness lasted but eighteen hours, and she bore the intense suffering without a murmur. Our tears of true sorrow and sympathy are mingled with those of her family. Rev. Brown, of the Christian Church, conducted the funeral services at the home Saturday at 2 o’clock p.m., and amid the many beautiful floral offerings she was laid to rest in the Harshbarger Cemetery. - thanks so much to S for these
