Obituary

Tuesday afternoon, June 30, 1891, Mrs. John Higgins passed away into the peaceful 
slumber of death, at her home in Baraga, after an illness of over six weeks from a 
complicated case of typhoid fever. 

Although her case had been almost hopeless for some days, yet her death cast a 
pall of gloom over the entire community, and many a heart throbbed in sympathy 
with the breaved [sic] relatives. 

In the death of Mrs. Higgins Baraga loses one of its most esteemed ladies, [to] 
two little children a devoted mother, and [to] a fond husband a loving a faithful 
wife. 

Mrs. John Higgins was born at Mendon [Minden City?], Sanilac county [St. Joseph 
County?], MI, June 30, 1861, and was therefore just thirty years of age, at the 
time of her death, her parents being Mr. and Mrs. William Thompson. She was 
married in 1864 to Mr. Higgins, who was then, as now, superintendent of Thos. 
Nester's extensive lumbering operations on the Upper Peninsula. Three children 
were born to them, two of whom are now living aged four and two years 
respectively. 

The remains were taken to Mendon, Wednesday morning for internment and the last 
sad rites performed at that place yesterday. The bereaved ones have the sympathy 
of the entire community in their affliction. 

Additional Comments:
There seem to be multiple grammatical errors in this obituary. I provided some 
possible edits in brackets.
