There were flowers from Mrs. J. Carpenter and Mrs. J. Wheeler who were friends of her girlhood. Burial was made in Alamo Cemetery (Greenbaur) near her old home. The bearers were three grandsons and a nephew.
It seems a matter of interest to many that a person as old as Mrs. Musselman at her death should have a mother living. Mrs. Musselman's mother was born in Ireland of Scotch parents, her father, Patrick McCullough, being a physician. They came to America when she was 12 years old and two years later she was married to Wm. Alford, twice her age, and until his death 20 years later they lived happily. Several years after his death, she married John Stewart, who died 12 years ago. She now resides with her son, Wm. Alford.
