After an illness extending over a period of nearly four years, Mr. P. H. Alley, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Alley of Ramseyville, died at the family home at that place on last Sunday morning at 9:15 o'clock.

The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, with burial in the Ramsey cemetery, Rev. C. P. Morgan of Columbus conducting the services.

The decedent was twenty-nine years of age, and a young man of many fine traits of character. He was very popular and enjoyed the friendship and esteem of all who knew him.

He is survived by his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Alley, his wife and two children, Ervin, seven years old and Bernice, five years of age, five brothers, Dan Alley, Shelly Alley, who is in the service and stationed at Camp Travis, Alvin Alley, Ray Alley and J. M. Alley, the latter of Glidden, and four sister[sic], Mrs. Arthur Perry of Galveston, Mrs. George Truitt of Palacious and Miss Florence Alley, who have the smypathy[sic] of the entire community.

Eagle Lake Headlight, January 25, 1919

OBITUARY, --On January 19th, 1919, the spirit of P. H. Alley took its flight to that brighter realm, where pain and sorrow are not known and from whence no traveler ere returns.

After four long years of suffering with the dread white plague, and after four years of the most loving and tender care from a devoted wife, mother and sister, he finally gave up the fight and passed to the great beyond.

Peter Hoover Alley was born March 16, 1888, at the old homestead at Ramsey, Texas, and spent most of his life around the familiar scenes of his birth place. Pete, as he was familiarly called by his many friends, was a good boy, and was liked by every one who knew him.

On May 14, 1910, he was married to Miss Ollie Lange of Alleyton, and to this union two bright children were born, Irvin, a boy, eight years old, and Bernice, a girl, six years old, who are deprived of a father's love and care.

He leaves a wife and two children, a father and mother, three sisters, and five brothers besides a host of friends to mourn his loss.

To those to whom his life was devoted, 'tis hard to say a comforting word, yet a star of hope illuminates the night of their sorrow, for before his death he gave himself up wholly to God's will, and died happily in the security of His love and salvation.

The same thought brightened his dying hours, the thought that every night of death is followed by a morning of resurrection, is the comfort of those left behind.

The blessed doctrine of the resurrection throws a halo over each Christian headstone, and makes each grave an open gate leading into Glory, for after all death is but a path that must be trod, if man would ever pass to God.

His cherished remains were committed to earth in the Alley burial ground Monday afternoon, January 20th., Rev. C. P. Morgan of Columbus officiating at the residence and grave.

Peace to his ashes!
