Funeral rites were held this afternoon for Mrs. Alice Sinks, of Union, Ohio.  She was the mother of Mr. Charles Sinks, of Ludlow Falls, Ohio, and is survived by other sons and daughters.  Several years ago Mrs. Sinks underwent an operation and has suffered illness since that time.  However, she was able to be out and around, and as recently as Wednesday, preceding her death.  Saturday last, she visited the son in Ludlow Falls, seeming reasonably well.  She had made all her own funeral arrangements, requesting that she be laid to rest late in the afternoon of her burial day, and that the services for her be based upon the Twenty Third Psalm, and from the Roy Miller undertaking home in West Milton.  Hymn preference, "Now the Day is Over," was accordingly used by Rev. W. A. Freeman, who conducted the rites.  Burial was made in the Minnich cemetery, located on the Phillipsburg Pike.
