WHITTAKER.—Died, of consumption, at 614 East Ninth Street, Pueblo, Colorado, Aug. 10, 1887, Alice A. Whittaker, aged 20 years and 4 months. Alice was a sufferer fourteen years, and at times her sufferings were very severe. During the last six years she filled the place of mother, sister, and daughter. She possessed care and forethought beyond her years, and her gentle ways, and readiness to help others when in need or distress, won the love of all. She always was a firm believer in all points of our faith. She was baptized a number of years ago by Elder Boyd, in Nebraska, and during a recent trip to Los Angeles, Cal., united with the church. As she neared the gates of death her faith grew strong and she rejoiced in the blessed hope, and was willing to rest the "little while" till Jesus comes. Services by Elders Packard, Wilcox, and Nutter.
