Alice Lang Obituary


Died on Sunday, the 6th inst., at her residence near Woodsfield, Alice, wife of Louis Lang, in the 22nd year of her age.

She was victim of that terrible disease, consumption. Alice was a kind and affectionate wife and will be greatly missed. She was quiet and unassuming in her life, but beneath it there was hid a noble heart, ready to do all she could for those about her. How sweet the assurance our loved ones live again, and in the sweet by and bye we shall meet and love them in that fair land where for a little while they have preceded us. The deepest sympathy is felt for the bereaved husband whose home has been made desolate.

She has gone where the shadows falleth never,
Gone in her beauty, sweet and pale,
A star to gleam in that “forever,”
That lies beyond the mystic well.
