William O. Altoft was born in Covington, Wyoming County, New York, December 27th, 1875 and died in Perry, New York, at the home of his mother, Mrs. Eliza Altoft, December 30, 1902. In 1898 he was married to Miss Mary Parker of Nunda, New York, where a part of their married life was spent. They had been living at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania for some time previous to his sickness, where he had a position as brakeman on a train. In July they came to visit his parents, intending soon to return to their home. At first he looked upon his sickness as a matter of short duration, occasioned by overwork. It is a great comfort to his friends that while thus expecting recovery, he availed himself of the help found in a Christian mother’s prayers and counsel, and sought and obtained a very clear Christian experience. He passed nearly six months of patient, cheerful suffering with consumption, and then passed peacefully to his reward.
The funeral services, also a memorial service for his father, who died November 13th of small-pox, were held in the Free Methodist Church, January 2nd, 1903, at ten a.m., the pastor, Rev. Mr. Weis, officiating. The remains were taken to Nunda for interment.
He is survived by his wife and little daughter, Lillian, also his mother and one brother, who with many other relatives and friends, deeply feel their loss.
