BELOVED CITIZEN LAID TO REST WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON

Alveretta [Myers] Slane was born in Monroe City, Indiana on October 29, 1864, and died at her home in Saguache on October 18, 1937. She came to Colorado in 1879, and on October 23, 1848 was married to James Slane. She is [survived] by her husband, her five children, Ray, of Doyleville, Walter, Ruth, Mrs. Emma Ellis, of Saguache, and Mrs. Florence Kenney, of Orlando, Florida, and eight grandchildren, Mrs. Aline Cunningham, of Denver, Irene, Eleanor, Alberta, and Barbara Slane, of Saguache, Evelyn Slane, of Doyleville, and Colleen and Tommy Kenney, of Orlando, Florida.
Mother Slane, as she was affectionately known to all of us, would not wish for adulation and eulogy. Hers was the modest life of love and service. With her passing, we have lost one who gave to those near and dear to her, the finer things of companionship, motherhood and friendship. Hers was the beautiful spirit of our pioneer women, who rejoiced in the happiness and progress of others. Although the welfare of her family was her first concern, so perfect was her home life that there was always time to enjoy and praise her friends and champion their virtues.
Faithful, loyal and understanding, she:
'Sowed love and tasted its fruitage pure,
Sowed peace and reaped its harvest bright,
Sowed sunbeams on the rock and moor,
And found a harvest home of light.'
The funeral, attended by a large concourse of friends and neighbors, was held in the Community church Wednesday afternoon, Rev. C. W. Hardon, officiating. The twenty-third Psalm, the fourteenth of St. John and other favorite scriptures were read. Miss Mildred Reitz and Miss Evelyn Smith sang for the service, Miss Katherine Smith pianist.
The many floral offerings paid a beautiful tribute to the memory of the deceased.
Burial was in Hillside cemetery in charge of Buckley Mortuary. The Pall bearers were Joe Alexander, George Curtis, Robert R. Tarbell, Alba Ward, Harry Burch, and Ira Colvin."
