Sniteman, Alice (DEC 1858 - 19 NOV 1891)

Died, Mrs. Alice Sniteman, wife of C. C. Sniteman, of this city (Neillsville, Clark County), at Winnebago, Thursday, Nov. 19, 1891, at the age of 33 years and 11 months.

Mrs. Sniteman was born in New York in 1858, and was married to Mr. Sniteman at St. Louis, Mo., in 1876. Soon after their marriage they came to Neillsville, which place has been their home since that time. Two or three years ago Mrs. Sniteman became afflicted with a brain difficulty, and after every other effort to effect a cure had failed, she was taken to the Northern Hospital, near Oshkosh, for treatment, where it was hoped that under the care of skilled specialists she might recover. No care or expense was spared in her treatment, but she was beyond the reach of human aid, and death has come to her at last to relieve her of her sufferings. She was a woman with an exceptionally kind and generous nature, and her hand was ever ready to reach forth to comfort and aid those who needed sympathy and help one who has been, and will be sadly missed by many whose lives have been brightened by the sunlight of her kind acts.

The funeral services were held at the Unitarian Church, Saturday afternoon, at which the Rev. T. G. Owen officiated. The sermon is generally spoken of as a very fine one and seemed to us a masterly production. The services were largely attended, and the floral display on and about the casket was exceedingly beautiful.
