departed this life April 5, 1926, at the age of 61 years, 11 months and 26 days. She

She was united in marriage to Samuel C. Standerfer Feb. 1, 1887, and to

She bore her sufferings long, but without complaint. Her going will be
greatly missed by all who knew her, but we find consolation in the language of the Book,
"Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord and from henceforth yea saith the spirit
they do rest from their labors, and their works do follow them."

John B. Maulding, assisted by Elders C. F. and J. D. Hooker. Interment at Blooming Grove

(Another article reads) Surviving her husband less than one month, Mrs. Alice C.
Standerfer, widow of Samuel Standerfer, died last night at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Willie Daily, a mile southeast of Delafield. The husband died very suddenly and
unexpectedly March 10, having gone to the barn to feed his stock, when he was stricken
with heart trouble which caused his death. Mrs. Standerfer was seriously sick at the time,
having confined to her bed several days. Mr. and Mrs. Standerfer made their home with
their daughter.
