DEATH OF OLD RESIDENT

Susan Caroline Graves was born June 23, 1842, in Jackson county, Michigan, 
where she grew up and on January 1, 1866 was united in marriage to Columbus 
French. To this union one child, T. D. French, was born. Mr. and Mrs. French 
came to this valley 20 years ago. Mr. French died August 22, 1913, since which 
time Mrs. French has lived with a sister in Washington, and son and brother 
here until the time of her death. The funeral services were from the 
Congregational Church conducted by Rev. H. F. Knight and interment was made in 
Parkview Cemetery beside her husband.

ONE BY ONE
One by one the flowers are dying, As the summer passes by.
And the humming bees are sighing, Neath the gray autumal sky.

One by one the birds are leaving, As the autumn draweth nigh.
And the winds seem to be grieving, for the smiling summer sky.

One by one the years are gliding, into ages of the past.
Nothing here is long abiding, But is every passing fast.

One by one our friends are going, to that long eternal home.
O'er the mystic sea they're rowing, Never more to stray or roam.

One by one the leaves are falling, As the autumn older grows.
Soon the ice king will be calling, From the land of cold and snows.

One by one each scene is changing, By times ever blighting hand. Death is 
ever, ever ranging, On the sea and on the land.

One by one we'll soon be landed, On the great eternal shore.
Soon our barks will all be stranded, On the unknown evermore.
