OBITUARY
Charles F. Alford was born near Memphis, Tennessee, April 21, 1850. In his early boyhood the family moved to the vicinity of Palmyra, Illinois, where he grew to manhood. He was married to Helena Rice, January 28, 1872. This union was blessed with seven children, all of whom survive with the exception of Ethel, who was called to reward in 1901.
On February 11, 1888, Charles Alford with his family removed to Clay County, Nebraska, where they have since made their home, with one brief intermission spent in Illinois.
In 1890 he was converted to Christ and his life has been such as to earn the unreserved love and respect of the community. Through a long and wearing illness he was a patient and even cheerful sufferer, and before his passing he more than once remarked that he was ready to go and meet his Saviour.
He has also maintained, for almost fifty years, membership in the Masonic Order.
His release from suffering came just after midnight on Sunday morning, July 24, 1921, aged 71 years, 3 months and 3 days.
The surviving relatives are his wife, Mrs. Helena Alford; six children, Mrs. Anna Ingram of Lebanon, Nebr.; Mrs. Hattie Lunn, of Clay Center, Bert Alford of Fulton, Mo.; Mrs. Ora Weber of Sutton, Nebr. Robert Alford of Clay Center, and Mrs. Mabel Hanke of Chicago, Illinois; three brothers, Robert E. and Caleb C. Alford of Girard, Ill., and William C. Alford of Hazelton, Kansas; three half-sisters, Mrs. Sarah Vogel, of-Palmyra, Ill.; Mrs. Martha Angell of Carlinville, Ill.; Mrs. Rose Whithorn of Clay, N.Y.; one half-brother, Cleveland Alford of Girard, Ill; the step-mother, Mrs. Susan Alford of Palmyra, Ill., and eleven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
