Anderson, Irma Bell -
Irma Anderson, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Bell, of Alburnett was born Aug. 5, 1883, and departed this life, Jan. 31, 1914, aged 30 years, 5 mouths and 26 days. While yet a little girl, perhaps ten or twelve years of age her life was surrendered to the Master. This was during a revival meeting held by C. W. McClure. She united with the U. B. church at Alburnett, which she served faithfully as health and strength would permit; holding the position of church organist at the time of her death.

She was united in marriage to Mr. E. C. Anderson, Feb. 10, 1904. Surviving her are a loving and devoted husband; two little daughters, Bernice and Bernita, aged 8 and 3 respectively, a loving father, mother, brother, a number of relatives and a host of friends.

Irma had been a sufferer for a number of years, but was always cheerful and did not complain of her misfortune. During the last year she had been uncommonly well. Her last sickness lasted only a day or two and the end came very unexpectedly, even while she was sleeping. Death was due to heart failure, consequently a complete surprise. In her death we lose a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend.

The funeral services were held Monday, February 2, at 11 o'clock, in the U. B. church at Alice. The floral offerings were beautiful and abundant. With these beautiful flowers as her companions, the body was laid to rest in the sun kissed cemetery at Alice. The services were in charge of her pastor, E R.
