OBITUARY---- Alger: - Susan DeMosse was born Nov. 24th, 1814, in butler County, Ohio, and died at her home one mile north of Wayne, Neb., Aug. 10th, 1896. She married Pierson Alger Sept. 29th, 1836. They spent the early part of their married life in Ohio. They removed to Iowa in the year 1840 and settled near West Liberty, Muscatine County, where they remained until the spring of 1885, when they removed to Wayne, Wayne Co. Neb. Mrs. Alger was a woman of extraordinary character and was loved best by those who knew her best. She was reared by Christian parents, her grandfather having left France for America in the time of oppression that he might enjoy his religion. She gave her heart to God in her early girlhood, and after a busy, well spent life she has passed to her reward. She was a woman that could enjoy prosperity or could bear adversity or whatever might fall to her lot, and was never heard to complain. In an early day in Iowa she did much to the support of the church, always ready to entertain its ministers and laymen. She was sick for over one year, and for the last three weeks of her life was a great sufferer. She was ready and willing to go to that glorious home where so many loved ones were awaiting her coming. And while the dear, tender mother is missed so greatly in the home,' tis sweet to know that she is in that blissful rest, where, as she was heard to murmur near the last, "where moth and dust doth not corrupt." She leaves an aged husband, seven sons and daughters, and three brothers to mourn her loss. These are: Joseph M. Alger, St. Louis, Mo., John D. and James Alger, of Wayne, Mrs. C.O. Fisher, of Wayne, Mrs. W.C. Hudson, of West Liberty, Iowa, Ola G. Alger of Wayne, and Mrs. W. S. Dickerson, of Rising City, Neb. The brothers are: Peter DeMosse of Muscatine, Iowa. Dr. Morton DeMosse of Neodosha, Kansas, and James DeMosse of Oklahoma. The funeral took place on the 12th at the M. E. Church. The sermon was preached from the 21 v of the 1st chap. Philipians, by the pastor, H. H. Millard. The floral tributes from friends were many and beautiful.
