child she moved with her parents to Michigan and settled on a farm six

six years ago her health began to fail her and from that time she has been 
a constant sufferer which she bore patiently till August the 14th at 4:10 
p.m., when she heard the call of death at the age of 68 years, 3 months 
and 2 days. Thus we are again laying away a loving mother, devoted wife 
and a good neighbor. Interment at Mulliken..
