OBITUARY: 

LAST SUMMONS
Mrs. Jane G. Albert Passes Quietly Away at her Home In This City
She Was a Noble Christian Woman Whose Whole Life Was Devoted to her Family and Work of Charity 
Was a Member of the Presbyterian Church.
Mrs. Jane G. Albert, widow of the late E. T. Albert, died at her home at the corner of Mill and Winter streets, in this city, at 11:35 o'clock last night, of the infirmities attending old age. 
Jane Gilchrist was born of Scotch parentage in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1818, and was the eldest of a family of seventeen children. In 1819 the Gilchrist family removed to Wheeling West Virginia, where in 1837, Jane was married to Eben T. Albert. In 1855 Mr. and Mrs. Albert moved to Ohio and later to Lansing, Iowa, where they resided until 1881, when they came to Salem. Mr. Albert died in 1899 aged 84 years. 
Mrs. Albert was a noble Christian woman, whose whole life was devoted to her family and to work of charity. In the Presbyterian church, of which she was a member from childhood, she took a prominent part in the active work of the Home and Foreign Missionary Societies and the work of her hands has supplied the necessities of the poor in this and other lands. Until the day of her death she retained the full use of her mental faculties and until the last few weeks she was physically able to keep up the needle-work in which she has found so much pleasure in her declining years. 
Out of a family of ten children, eight are living. They are John H. Albert, Mrs. Elizabeth Holton and Mrs. Sarah H. Robinson, of Salem; Mrs. G. A. Rockewell, Portland; Mrs. C. D. Purdy, Salem; E. T. Albert, Columbus, Ohio; George W. Albert, Lansing, Iowa; and Thomas G. Albert, Salem. She also leaves twelve grandchildren and six great grandchildren. She leaves two brothers and one sister, the youngest of the family of seventeen being W. W. Gilchrist, president of the Bank of Wheeling, West Virginia. The funeral will be conducted from the residence Sunday afternoon, complete arrangements to be announced later.

LAID to REST
Last Sad Rites Performed Over the Remains of the Late Mrs. Albert
On Sunday afternoon the last sad honors were performed over the body of the late Mrs. Jane T. Albert, who passed away at her home on Friday evening. The impressive funeral service was conducted by Rev. H. A. Ketchum at the home on the corner of Winter and Mill streets. The attendance of friends who desired to pay their last respects to one for whom they held in such high esteem, was very large. The pastor paid a glowing tribute to the memory of the deceased, and spoke words of comfort to the bereaved relatives and friends. The remains were laid to rest in the I. O. O. F. cemetery, and the grave was covered with the many beautiful floral tributes. During the exercises at the house music was furnished by the girls choir of the Presbyteraian church, and on behalf of the Missionary Society, of which deceased was a devoted member, Mrs. Draper read the following original poem, a beautiful tribute to her who recently completed a long and useful life and has gone to claim her reward: Dear, folded hands, so worn with care, So quiet on the pulseless breast, Will any burden need you there, If heaven is a place of rest? And you, dear heart, will you forget, The struggle of these lower lands, Or is there some sweet service yet For folded hands? Yours was the never ending task Born of a never ending need; Our selfishness it was to ask, Your sweet unselfishness to heedl And now in the unwanted rest Long promised in the better lands, How can you sit an idle guest With folded hands? No tears to dry, no wounds to bind, No sufferer to tend and bless-- Where will those eager fingers find A need for all their tenderness: Yet knowing all they did before, Perchance the Father understands, And holds some precious work in store For folded hands to explore. 
Chapman, pg 121.
