MRS. SAGER BURIED HERE

DIED IN CENTRAL CITY AND BODY BROUGHT HERE MONDAY EVENING FOR BURIAL IN BLAIR CEMETERY

Mrs. Alice Sager died at her home in Central City, Nebr., last Saturday evening and a funeral service was held for her at the First Baptist church at 10 o’clock Monday morning, Rev. Gust E. Carlson officiating. The body was taken to the Campbell undertaking parlors, the burial service being held in the Blair cemetery at 10 o’clock yesterday morning.

As Miss Alice Meyers, she lived here for several years, teaching school here for a time, and at other places. Her sister, Minnie, married W.V. Miller, who was county superintendent of schools here in an early day. After Mr. Miller’s death, Alice kept home for Mrs. Miller while she taught school for some 14 years.

Her mother’s name was Margaret Ridler, a sister to Jim Ridler, a resident of Blair for many years, father of the first Mrs. F.W. Arndt, and it was through the Ridlers that the girls came first to Blair. Later Mrs. Miller married John Sager and removed to Mam- a resident of Blair for many years, Alice going with him. (confusing sentence)

She was married there, June 4th 1894, to a brother of John Sager, Burgess, an uncle to the Burgess Sager whose death occurred here recently. They had no children. After leaving Mammouth Springs, they lived for a time in California, returning to Central City 5 years ago and making their home with Mrs. Minnie Sager, who was in very poor health, but is still living there.

Alice Meyers was born in Naspersville, Ill., December 5th, 1855, so was just past 73 years of age. Besides her husband and sister, Mrs. Minnie Sager, she is survived by one brother, Henry Meyers, of Union, N.J. Another brother, Wallace died recently. Her death was due to dropsy and heart trouble. The body was accompanied here by Ed Foster, a son-in-law of the late Henry Newell, old friends of the family.

She was a member of the Baptist church and of her, her pastor said: “Her life was the fragrance wafting of the sweet scent of the Rose of Sharon. Everyone who learned to know her learned to love her.”
