Clayton County Register, 17 Feb. 1944.

Funeral services for Miss Alice L. Meyer, who died at the home of her brother, H. L. Meyer, Sunday, Feb. 13, after an illness of about a year, were held from the home at 1:30 Tuesday afternoon and at the Frieden's Evangelical and Reformed church at 2 o'clock. The Rev.

Alice L. Meyer was born in Read township, Clayton county, Nov. 23, 1904, the daughter of George and Lena Lemka Meyer, who preceded her in death.

For several years she taught in the rural schools in the vicinity of Elkader. In 1937, she purchased an interest in the Fashon Shoppe in Elkader and continued in that work, in partnership first with Miss Mary Meyer, then with Mrs. Leroy Bandow and later with Mrs. Mike Miller, until about a year ago when ill health confined her to her home.
