[arney] Alderson was born in Marion County, Illinois, June 1st, 1864, and died at his home in Kansas City, Missouri, October 16th, 1913, aged 49 years, 4 months and 15 days. He was married to Miss Florence L. Murphy, of Marion County, Illinois, October l9th, 1884, and to them were born two sons and a daughter: W.[illis] E.[arl] Alderson, with the Wabash railroad, at Kansas City; Mrs. J. [ean] R. Carlton [Goldie], of Clearfield, and L. [oren] F. [rank] Alderson, in the employ of the Burlington, at Omaha, Nebraska, all of whom with their, companions and Mrs. Alderson were able to attend the funeral. Mrs. Alderson being a sister of Mrs. M. [ilton] B. [eech] O'Neil [Maria Murphy], of Blockton, and Mrs. W. [illiam] E. Baxter [Laura Murphy], of this vicinity, it was decided to bring the remains here for interment. The remains and funeral party arrived on No. 2 Friday evening and the funeral took place at the M. E. church Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, the funeral sermon being preached by the pastor, Rev. William Mercer, and interment was made in Rose Hill cemetery. Considering the short notice given and the early hour the funeral was quite well attended, showing the thoughtfulness and sympathy which is always manifested by the good people of Blockton to those to whom sorrow has come. The floral tributes were beautiful and profuse. The deceased and family came to Lenox in 1895 where he was employed in a clothing store about fourteen years. Some two years ago he went to Kansas City where he continued in the same business, being employed in the clothing department of a large department store. He had not been feeling quite well for several weeks, having stomach trouble, but was able to go about his work until Wednesday of last week, when he was taken alarmingly ill and passed away on Thursday. Having known Mr. Alderson since he came to Iowa we would add this tribute to his memory: He was honest in his dealings and exercised many of the attributes of more noble human nature. He was always thoughtful for the best interests of his family and wished for a Christian training for his children.
