DIED
At her home on the town line between Carlton and Hastings, Feb. 1st,
1888, Ersula, wife of Jay Barnum.

Ersula was born in Verona, now Battle Creek, Aug. 30th, 1853, being
therefore 34 years old.

She was an active member of the M.E. church, having been converted
during a series of meetings held in that neighborhood in the winter of
1884 conducted by Rev. A.K. Stuart.

She suffered a great deal during her final illness until the last hour
which was very peaceful.  When different ones talked to her of dying she
oly replied that the Lord was with her every moment.

The funeral servies were held at the Holmes church in Carlton, conducted
by Rev. W.D. Rowland, the procession to the cemetery being nearly one
mile in length.
