After a brief illness of a few days with a bad cold, Mary Algyre, widow of David Algyre (deceased), passed away at the home of Mrs. Sadie Hartzler, who resides with Jonathan Hartzler of Allensville, Pa., April 6, 1934, aged 80 y. 4 m. 8 d. As we pen these few lines of obituary we can not trace any of her relatives as she was taken into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Kauffman, an orphan, when a child in Juniata Co., still residing with them when they moved to Belleville. Some years later she was taken into the home of Elizabeth Peachy, being employed in many farm homes.
Later she was married to David Algyre, who preceded her in death 2 years ago. Four years ago it became necessary for them to hire help or break up house-keeping; so the latter was decided the best and Mr. Algyre was cared for by his only daughter (Ella) Mrs. Rufus Harshbarger of Mattawana and Mrs. Algyre was cared for in the home of Bro. and Sister Eli Kanagy, until 15 months ago, since which time she was tenderly cared for in the home of Mrs. Sadie Hartzler.
Although no relatives have been traced the deceased won for herself many close friends. Funeral was held at the Allensville A. M. Church; burial in Locust Grove Cemetery, Bros. Jonas D. Yoder and Joshua B. Zook officiating. One step-daughter and several step-grandchildren survive, who were present at the funeral from Mattawana. She was a faithful member of the Allensville Mennonite church.
"Peacefully lay her down to rest;
Place the turf kindly o'er her breast;
Sweet be the slumber 'neath the sod,
While the pure soul is resting with God."
A Friend.
