Obituary for Alice Leah Bachman

ALICE BACHMAN.

 

Alice Bachman, only daughter of Samuel T. and Mary E. Bachman, died at the home of her father on West Park street in Olathe, Thursday, Feb. 15, 1906. Her mother preceded her four years ago this coming July.

 

Alice had been an invalid for over thirteen years and during that time had been a great sufferer, but she was sustained through it all by her strong Christian faith and trust in the mercies of her Savior. She had been a member of the Congregational church over twenty years and was one of the charter members of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor and at one time was president Of the society. She was also a teacher in the Sunday school. She was dearly beloved by all who knew her and had endeared herself to many by her sweet loving Christian nature and ready word of comfort to her friends in their trials and sorrows.

She was a loving faithful daughter and her sudden (although expected) death was a great blow to her father, who has the sympathy of the entire community in his hour of affiliction. Alice was born in Sterling, Whiteside county, Illinois in 1865, and came with her parents to Olathe 35 years ago where she has resided ever since. The funeral was held on Saturday from the house, and was conducted by Rev. W. M. Elledge, pastor of the Congregational church and the church choir rendered appropriate music. Mr. Bachman is left alone, there being no other children.
