MRS. ALICE LEMON
Alice Victoria Kirby, daughter of Samuel J. and Carolina Elizabeth Kirby, was born May 14th, 1862 in Carroll County, Virginia.

At an early age she moved with her family to Kansas and located on a farm near Topeka.

On April 12, 1888, she was united in marriage to Charles Lemon and to this union were born five children— Cecil Calvert, Edna Blanch, Erven Edward, Troy Samuel and Alverta May.

She passed away August 24th at the farm home northwest of Rossville to which she came as a bride.

Mrs. Lemon was a faithful member of the Rossville Christian Church and attended services as long as health would permit.

Her husband and two sons have preceded her in death. Mr. Lemon passed away June 7, 1927; Erven on February 26, 1899 and Cecil, June 26, 1948.
