In Walworth, Wis., June 7, 1885, Alice, the beloved wife of Hyram R. Hoag, in the 35th year of her age. Deceased was born in Walworth, Sept. 10, 1850. She was the daughter of the late Dr. Henry Clarke of this place, and the youngest of eleven children, all of whom, with the bereaved mother, are still living.
When she was thirteen years of age she gave her heart to Jesus and was baptized by Eld. C. M. Lewis, in the Spring of 1863. In September 26, 1870 she was joined in marriage with Hyram R. Hoag, who still survives her. She leaves three children, two daughters and one son, aged respectively, thirteen, ten and six.
Her last illness was painful and lingering, but she bore it with Christian fortitude and resignation, and left one of the brightest examples of a triumphant death which it has been our privilege to witness, she conscious till within a few hours of her death, - a special request which she asked of her Heavenly Father.
She was a dutiful wife and mother, a warm-hearted Christian, and a faithful friend to the poor and suffering. Few will be more missed in the community, and few more lamented. The voyage is over, the haven has been gained and now she rests with Jesus.
