Mrs. Malinda Alley, died near Lone Jack, had lived for 50 years on the farm where she passed away.
Her maiden name was Malinda Frost and she was born near Lone Jack, being one of a family
of nine children... On Dec 18, 1856, she was married to Henry Calvin Alley, and until he died
Feb 29, 1880, they resided continuously in the Lone Jack neighborhood except for a
period during the Civil War when forced to go to Kansas.
Mrs. Allen was the mother of 11 children, six of whom survive;
Mrs. Mollie Moutrey, Collinsville, Okla, James & Johnathan Alley of Kansas City;
George Alley who lived with and cared for his mother in her
declining years; Mrs. Anna Adams of Lee's Summit, and
Mrs. May Hayes of Kansas.
Under the preaching of the Rev. Prior Duncan and the
Rev. Jos. King, while she was living in Kansas, Mrs. Alley
was converted. She united with the M. D. Church South and
remained a member of that body until the day of her death
on the 60th anniversary of her marriage.
Many years ago, looking forward to the inevitable, she requested
that her funeral be preached from the text, "she has done
what she could". And this, it is said, was literally true of her life.
A few years ago she was stricken with paralysis and her
activity was at an end, although the silver cord was not
loosed until many days of hopeless helplessness had been
endured.
The Rev. D. T. Payne preached her funeral, using the text
as requested, and her body was laid to rest in the
Adams Cemetery beside that of her husband who had preceded
her in death 36 years..
