IN MEMORIAM

Mrs. Myron S. Mead

	Clarissa C. Warner was born in the township of Whitehall, N.Y. , on June 15,
1835.  She came to Michigan with her parents in the autumn of 1837, and they
settled on a farm in the township of Concord, abut fourteen miles southwest of
Jackson.  On July 26, 1855, she was married to Myron S. Mead, and in the spring
of 1857 they came to Buchanan, where they have lived ever since.   They have had
no children.  In the spring of 1858, she confessed Christ as her Saviour, and
united with the “Old Advent church” now the Larger Hope church, of which she has
ever been a faithful member.  She has lived a quiet, exemplary every day
Christian life.  For many years her faith and hope have included an all
conquering Christ, and the final salvation of all from sin and death.
	All her life she has been afflicted with occasional attacks of asthma; but on
Feb 22nd, she was suddenly taken ill with congestion of the lungs and liver,
from which she did not rally.  She quietly passed from the life on March 4, at
11:30 p.m.  She leaves her husband, two brothers, other relatives and many
friends to mourn their loss.  But we sorrow not as though we had no hope.
	The funeral service was held in the church on Tuesday, March 7, at 1:30 p.m. 
Rev. J.H. Paton, her pastor, spoke from the words: “What think ye of Christ” and
“Blessed are they that mourn, etc.”  Several appropriate hymns were sung.  The
floral offerings from the Ladies’ Aid were beautiful.  After the service, the
interment took place in Oak Ridge cemetery.
