Sometimes, when weary and worn, we seek the rest which sleep so often brings. And, sometimes, when the body is tired and the heart is weary, the Heavenly Father kisses our eyes to rest, from which we awaken to eternal health.

Alice Graner, only daughter of George and Barbara Liddle, was born near Grand Rapids, Ohio, Sept. 18, 1852. When but twelve years of age her mother was taken from her and she became her father’s helper. Through the ensuing years until May 26, 1873, when she was united in marriage to C. W. Graner, she cared for her father’s home.

Six children came to bless her life: George W., Charles A., Mrs. Jennie Blair, Mrs. Clara Jennings, Mrs. Della Warner, and one child which died in infancy.

For almost 39 years the home was unbroken, then June 10, 1912, her help mate was called away to the land beyond.

Mrs. Graner was a wonderful mother, a loyal member of the Reformed Ladies Aid of this place; she was planning to entertain the Aid Society in the near future. For many years she was a member of the Reformed church. As long as she could walk the distance, she was regular in the performance of her religious duties.

She leaves to mourn her departure her five children, 14 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren, one brother, John Liddle, and many others to whom she endeared herself in her stay of 82 years, 5 months and 29 days.

Services were conducted from the Reformed church, Tuesday, March 19, afternoon. Interment was made in the Young’s cemetery. Rev. W. A. Piper was in charge of the services.
