Alice Johnson, the 12 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.D. Johnson of our city, died last Saturday evening after a long, painful illness. For over a year little Alice had been a patient sufferer from an incurable disease and while her loss falls heavy on the doting parents, and loving brothers and sisters, her death was to her a release from pain and suffering. Little Alice was a sweet and loving child, loved by her playmates and all who knew her and her place with the little ones, as with her family, can never be filled.
Her sweet life has been plucked as a half blown rose by the hand of God to bloom for him in Heaven. The bereft family have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad affliction and should be encouraged by the thought that their little darling is only waiting for them in the home beyond.
