Obituary
Unidentified Newsclipping - 1881
TUBBS.--Miss Alice E. Tubbs, of Custer City, Dakota Territory, died at Boonville, New York, December 20, 1881, aged 25 years, 3 months and 27 days. The early home of Sister Tubbs was in the town of Western, New York, where she lived until 1871, when with her parents she removed to Boonville. In 1878 she went to Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory. Remaining there a year she removed with her brother, Mr. Newton Tubbs, to Custer City, Dakota Territory, making the journey of three hundred miles over land by wagon. She was converted to God and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church at North Steuben, New York, at the age of thirteen years, under the pastorate of Rev. D. D. Parker. She was thenceforth a devoted and faithful Christian, always seeking the advancements of the cause of Christ. At Custer City her zeal rose in proportion to the spiritual needs of the place. She organized there the first Sunday school, and together with another young lady circulated a subscription to secure preaching services. Thus they followed with another subscription for the erection of a church, by which one is to be built this coming season. Having an advantageous offer, she secured an organ for the society, becoming personally responsible for the payment of it. She was also instrumental in the establishment of a lodge of the I. O. G. T., which now enrolls upwards of one hundred members. She was suddenly stricken down while on a visit to her former home at Boonville, New York, expecting to return to her western home and the scenes of her labor and usefulness. An affectionate daughter, a loving sister and a sympathizing friend has departed. Fully resigned to the will of God, she died in the triumph of faith.
