Miss Sarah [Elizabeth] BURDICK passed away last Saturday morning after a brief
illness. She was 58 years of age. The funeral was held at her late home on Madison avenue at 11 o'clock Monday morning, conducted by Rev. George W. Burdick, of Albion. The remains were laid to rest in the Albion cemetery. [Thursday edition, p. 4]

Alice [Jane] GRISWOLD CRANDALL was born in the town of Harmony, Rock
Co., November, 1852, and died in the town where she had always lived Feb. 28, 1899, at the age of 46 years. In 1876 she was married to Wm. CRANDALL of the same town. Three sons and five daughters were born to them.
Early in life she was converted and joined the M. E. church and has ever since lived a
consistent Christian life. She was also a member of the Harmony W.C.T.U., where next to the home circle her loss will be most keenly felt. Her life has been one of great industry and usefulness. Blessed with a strong mind and a loving disposition she has been able to do a great deal of good in her home and in society, and her example will be an inspiration to her surviving children.
Funeral services were held at the family home Friday forenoon March 3d at 11
o'clock, conducted by her pastor Rev. Sherwin of Milton, who spoke words of comfort and consolation from the appropriate text found in St. Mark 11:8. The many beautiful floral tributes and the large concourse of friends which followed the remains to their last resting place demonstrated in a small measure the great respect in which she was held.
The family have the most sincere sympathy of all their friends in this their hour of great
affliction. [Thursday edition, p. 4]
