Joe Alderson Passes Away
Joe Alderson died this morning at 6:30 at his home near Sharpsburg. He had been sick for a long time, and his death did not come as a surprise. It was caused by typhoid fever. Arrangements for the funeral have not been completed, but it is probably that services will be held at Conway tomorrow.
Bedford Times-Republican, Thursday, March 31, 1904, p. 8
Joseph Alderson was born in Liverpool, England, in 1870, moving with his parents to Cook County, Illinois, in 1872, from which place he came with his parents to Taylor County, in the year 1874, where he has resided until the time of his death.
He died at the home of his parents, David and Frances Alderson, near Sharpsburg, March 22, 1904. The funeral was held in the M. E. church at Sharpsburg, the Rev. C. W. Simmons officiating. The remains were interred at the Gravity cemetery.
Joe was of a kind and generous disposition; his mission seemed to be to help others, and right cheerfully and willingly did he fulfill that mission. He was a dutiful son and a kind and generous brother. He had many friends but not one enemy. He was always kind and obliging toward all, and especially kind to his mother, and helpful and obedient to his father. The floral tributes to his memory were beautiful; a wreath and bouquet of flowers was sent by Mr. G. D. Elyson, cashier of the Marquardt Savings banks, Des Moines, which did not arrive in time for the funeral. A large bouquet of flowers was received from Mr. O. S. Payne, of St. Joseph, Mo., which were also received too late for the funeral.
A large concourse of friends joined with the relatives in paying the last tribute of love and respect to his memory. D. M. Woodfill
