"OBITUARIES
ALICE M. DIBBLE,
wife of Wm. DIBBLE and daughter of Samuel JOHNSON, died at her residence in Elmore
township, Wednesday morning, September 3d, at the age of twenty-five years. She leaves an
infant daughter a week old. Mrs. DIBBLE was born in Greene township, Hamilton county, O.

to Mr. DIBBLE. She was a member of the Methodist church, and her funeral sermon was
preached at the house by Rev. Mr. Ramsey, the remains being interred in Oak Grove
Cemetery. She was a devoted Christian, a loving daughter, an earnest woman and a faithful

"In that great cloister's stillness and seclusion,
By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pollution,
She lives whom we call dead.""
