Mrs. Alice R. Levinson, mother of the late Mrs. S.G. Kerr, died at her son-in-law's residence in this city Sunday afternoon after an illness of of about two weeks. The circumstances of her death are particularly sad. She and her aged husband had come to Georgetown to be with their daughter in her approaching acconchement. Shortly after that event Mrs. Levinson, while sweeping off the gallery, was prostrated by paralysis (her second attack). She was conveyed to her room and attended assidiously, but slowly grew worse until her daughter's death, after which she suffered another stroke, and sank into unconsiousness, from which she never rallied. It is not known whether she became aware of her daughter's death; every effort was made to keep her in ignorance of it, but it is believed in some subtle way she learned of it. Her funeral occured Monday morning, and interment in the Odd Fellows Cemetery beside her daughter, whom she had followed to the tomb within less than a week. Mr. A.T. Irvine reading the beautiful service of the Episcopal church of which she was a member.
Mrs. Levinson was a native Texan, born in San Felipe in 1888, and raised in Washington county. She was a daughter of Moses Bain, one of the first colonists, and was married to Mr. Levinson, himself and early settler, when very young. Her aged husband, three daughters and two sons survive her. They were all at the funeral, but returned to their homes Monday night. They desire to return thanks to the **** [Rest of obituary missing.]
