We are pained to chronicle the death of Mrs. Alice M. Handy, wife of A.J. Handy and daughter of Chauncey Hungerford.  By her sudden death a household is left to mourn for a daughter, sister, mother and wife.  After an illness of eleven weeks duration, she breathed out her life gently as an infant sinking to rest and her quiet and peaceful death was a fitting end for a pure and beautiful life.  Only 25 years of age, she was a devoted and ardent Christian and will be greatly missed by the church of which she was a member.
