Died at her home near Star, Ada county, Idaho, on February 9th, of pneumonia, Mrs. Lillian Bell Alexander.

She was born in Madison county, Iowa, October 12, 1877, aged 28 years, 3 months and 27 days. She was converted during a revival meeting held at the Christian church at DeSoto, Iowa, December 18th, 1891. She was married to Fred E. Alexander at her home near DeSoto, December 2nd, 1903. Our home is now desolate. Our dear one had just a few weeks before her death, moved with her husband into their own which they had built. Every part had been planned by them. Their home life was blessed, for it was one where love reigned. Her husband is nearly broken hearted, but we do not mourn as they that are without hope. Our loved one is safe, her pure life is like an open book before us. Her work on earth was finished in the morning of life. God's will be done.

T. C. DeClercq
