    OBITUARY - West Liberty Banner, dtg September 14, 1916, Log
    an County, Ohio.

    Alda Mae, daughter of Edward and Laura Strayer, was born in Champaign county, near West Liberty, September 28, 1883, and departed this life at the home of her parents in West Liberty, Ohio September 8, 1916, aged 32 years, 11 months and 1

    She was united in marriage to John H. Bolen, March 15, 1906. To this union three children were born - two sons and one daughter.
    In early life she united with the Christian Church at West Liberty, and was a faithful worker in the church, Sunday School, and Endeavor Society of which she was a member.
    After moving from this vicinity to Bucyrus she became affiliated with the United Brethren Church and was a member of the same at the time of her death.
    She had been ill for a period of about three years, but about six weeks ago was brought to the home of her parents. She was very patient in her sickness and the end came as a sweet relief from her suffering, but was a painful separation
    r loved ones. During her illness she was tenderly cared for by her mother and loved ones who did all they could to make her comfortable. The home she once made happy with friendly welcome and a kindly smile is broken, but God knows best.
    She is survived by her husband, two sons, Edward Hartley and Raymond Robert, and one daughter, Dorothy Isabell; also her parents, two sisters, and four brothers, and many other relatives and friends.

    Be near to bless me when I wake,
    Ere thro' the world my way I take;
    Abide with me till in Thy love
    I lose myself in Heaven above.
