!. INTO GREAT BEYOND
MRS. NEAL G. AUKERMAN


Mrs. N. c. Alderman died at her
4 home one mile east Of the city last
Sunday morning, June i, after 3
long illness. She had been in poor
health for a number Of years, and
for several weeks before her death
:, was very weak. Hope for her re-
2covery had been given up several
days before she passed away, and
her death was not unexpected. Mrs.
Olive Sparr Alderman was born
Dec. 8, 1860 in Indiana, making her
SO years and six months old at the tn
date Of her death. She is survived
by1 her lifeis partner, Neal G.: AUX
erman, two sons, Earl age % and
Carl age 19 years old. Her only
daughter Myrtle passed on to her
reward over ten years ago. The
greatest intimacy and physical and
parental love exi.ted between these
two. The shock to the mother
when the daughter passed on ahead
was never wholly recovered, from.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alderman came to
Burke county 4 years ago, and
homesteaded g mile east OF the city,
the place which they still own, 50
were among the pioneers mere.
They knew what real hardships are.
They became well acquainted with
the joys and sorrows OF pioneer
life. When two have BEEN tried
together under the severe strain OF
life and have been drawing their
heavy load and running their race
in patience side bv side, it is hard
for the one left to .reconsile the loss
and understand the motive. Mrs.
Alderman was we'll known and low
ed by her neighbors far and near.
She was cheerful and jolly under
the destroying hand of death. She
was a neighbor who was neighborly,
she was friend with the soft hand
of true friendship, she spoke kind
". but acted the Christ deeds. In
her latter years she staid close at
home, but her gentle influence was
abroad She sought: not her own,
but Others welfare. She was a.
true mother and patient wife,
She was one Of Gods people! Civ
