Death of Allie Potter Belding

Mrs. Allie Potter Belding was born at Fountain Prairie, Wis., Jan. 27th, 1863. She died at Calmar, July 16th, 1899, her age at death being 36 years, 5 months, and 18 days.
Her parents moved to Calmar when she was two years old and here she has lived during the remainder of her life. She attended the Calmar public school until she was fourteen years of age, when she went to Prairie-du-Chien and entered St. Mary's Institute and there remained four years, studying music, painting and literature. During two years of Harrisons administration she was assistant P.M. at Calmar.
On Sept. 16th, 1890, Allie M. Potter was married to Geo. H. Belding, D.D.S. By this union three children were born, all of whom died in their infancy. The sorrowing close relatives are father, mother, grandmother and husband.
For several years past Mrs. Belding was in poor health. Last November, after suffering from a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism, she was taken to a sanitarium at Battle Creek, Mich, where she remained until April, when she was brought back home. For a time after her return she seemed to be improving, in fact was, so far as rheumatism is concerned, but she had an attack of lagrippe during the winter which weakened her system and caused other complications to set in, and she soon began to gradually fade away, until death relieved her sufferings as above stated.
As the world knew her, she was of a somewhat retired nature, but sweet disposition, one who enjoyed the quiet and tranquil life of her own home circle rather than the gay attractions of the world, just such a woman as a man could love and cherish.
The funeral took place from the M.E. church on Tuesday July 18, at 1:30 o'clock, Rev. Willett, of Decorah, conducting the services, the remains being placed in the Calmar cemetery.
The floral tributes were numerous and handsome. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and plants.
A large concourse of friends were present to pay their last respects to the dead. The Courier joins the many friends in sympathy with the bereaved.
