Death of Julia Sweet Alden.
The announcement of the death of Mrs. Julia Sweet Alden, wife of Mr. Edward F. Alden, will be received with deepest sorrow by her many friends in this city.
She has been ill at her home in Centerville Iowa for some weeks, suffering from heart failure, and passed away yesterday morning.
She was the daughter of Mr. A. L. Sweet, of this city, and a sister of Mr. Don A. Sweet and Mrs. George A. Anderson. Her whole life had been devoted to doing good, a life of most generous self-sacrifice and of noble effort.
It was her highest aim to be of service to those about her, to lighten their burdens, and relieve their cares. The good accomplished by such a woman and the influence of her example cannot be measured.
Besides her husband, she leaves one daughter to mourn her loss. Mrs. Anderson has been by her bedside for some weeks, and was with her to the last. The remains were brought to Quincy last night, and will be laid to rest at Woodland.
The funeral services will take place from the residence of Mr. George A. Anderson, 912 North Sixth street, Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

Julia Alden Laid to Rest
in Woodland.
Yesterday evening, just at the close of a beautiful day, when all nature was quieting down for the night, and the setting sun was slowly passing away from our vision, the body of Julia Sweet Alden was tenderly placed beneath the green sod at Woodland cemetery in a flower-strewn grave, its last resting place here on earth.
She was buried with the close of day, amidst beautiful flowers -- just as her dear memory is buried in the hearts of those who loved her, amidst thoughts of love and reverence.
Services were held at the home of Mrs. George A. Anderson, her sister, [at] 912 North Sixth street, conducted by the Reverend E. A. Ince of the Vermont Street Baptist church. The choir of that church sang. The relatives and friends of the dead one were present in large numbers at the sad services. The writer unintentionally neglected to say that Don Sweet is also a brother of Mrs. Alden.
Jesse Sweet, a brother, of St. Joseph; Mrs. Mary Sweet, an aunt, of Chicago; J. L. Harney, an uncle, of Mt. Sterling; Miss Kathryn Alden, a step-daughter; Edward Alden, the husband; and little Madge, the daughter, of Centerville, were present yesterday, at the funeral.
Madge does not seem to realize that Mother is taken from her, and she probably will not until back home in Centerville -- then home will not seem real without Mother.
Many of the young boys and girls here in Quincy will kindly remember "Miss Sweet," as she was then, when she taught a private school at her home on Fifth and York streets here, many years ago. Among her pupils were Sadie Turner; May Byrd; the Jarrett girls; Edna Hilborn, now dead; Gene Woodruff; James Inghram, the writer; and her sister, and a number of others, whose names are not recalled at present.
She was as a teacher as she was during her whole lifetime, kind and sincere in her labors for the welfare of others. May her blessed memory be a comfort to the sorrowing relatives.
