Obituary

	On the 25th of September, 1896, Mrs. John Searles passed peacefully away from
the scenes of time to the realites[sic] of the home in the spirit land.
	Sarah Haywood was born Jan. 31, 1835, in Schaghticoke, Rennsolear[sic] Co.,
N.Y. being at the time of her departure, 61 years, 7 mo. and 24 days.  She
married Mr. John Searls, May 3, 1851; removed to California in April, 1858;
returning to New York, in April, 1868.  In 1869, they came to Buchanan, Mich.,
where they have since resided.  Two brothers survive her, Mr. Geo. W. Haywood of
Buchanan and Mr. Levi M. Haywood of Chautauqua county, N.Y.; also one daughter,
Miss Lotta Searles, at home with her father.
	The funeral, which was a very large one, was from the home on the North
Buchanan road, Sept. 27, at 2 o'clock p.m., the Rev. O.J. Roberts officiating,
assisted by the Rev. J.F. Bartmess. The text was Deut. 30:15, "See, I have set
before thee this day, life.".  Very beautiful music was rendered by a quartet
consisting of Messrs. Wm. Monroe and D.L. Boardman and Mesdanes D.L. Boardman
and H.D. Rough.  Interment was made at Oak Ridge cemetery.
	Mrs. Searles was a lady greatly beloved by a wide circle of friends, honored by
her family, as a faithful wife for forty years, a true mother and a kind helper
to every one in need.  The 61 beautiful roses on her casket were fitting types
of 61 beautiful yers.  Mother, rest in peace. O.J.R.
