Mrs. Mary W. SMALLEY, a brief notice of whose death was published in THE 
COURIER last week, was born in the year 1813 at Piermont, Vt., and resided 
there until 1825, when she in company with her parents removed to Honeoye 
Falls, N.Y. Her maiden name was Mary W. LOWELL. In the year 1840 she was united 
in marriage to Mr. David B. SMALLEY and continued to reside at Honeoye Falls 
until 1844, when they left kind parents and many dear friends and associates 
and came to the then wilderness of Michigan, settling near Union City, in this 
county. Like many a pioneer her life was not without its trials and struggles, 
but she was ever ready to meet them without a murmur. Mr. SMALLEY died in 1854, 
and since then she has lived a greater portion of the time with her son William 
and his family, who have ever done all in their power to make life pleasant to 
her. Mrs. SMALLEY died at half-past 10 o'clock Friday evening, May 20, after 
ten weeks of intense suffering from a abscess in the side. She was ever calm 
and peaceful during her illness, and met death as a welcome messenger. She 
united with the Baptist Church in the year 1833, and has always lived a 
consistent and upright Christian life. The family remaining consists of three 
sons (two married and living in this city) and one daughter, Mrs. A.J. APGAR, 
who lives in Grand Rapids. The funeral took place at 1 o'clock last Sunday, the 
Rev. J.P. PHILLIPS conducting the services.
