CALHOUN COUNTY

Mrs. Edward C. Hinman

Carrie L. Risdon, daughter of the late Lewis C. Risdon, was born in the city of
Ann Arbor, October 21st, 1855; was married to Edward C. Hinman, at her father's
residence, in Ann Arbor, Oct. 25th, 1876, by the Rt. Rev. George D. Gillespie,
Bishop of the Western Diocese of Michigan; died in the city of Battle Creek,
June 29th, 1887.  

She was a dutiful daughter, a faithful, loving wife, a tender mother, and a
warm, constant friend.  She was courageous and hopeful, as was evidenced in her
last terrible sickness.  Her health had never been very vigorous.  Her last and
fatal sickness commenced April, 1887, and she was a terrible and a heroic
sufferer through it all.

During her sickness all that love, money and medical skill, and unflinching
determination could do, was done to save her precious life, but all in vain; her
house had come.

She was beautiful in person and character, fine in scholarship and
sensibilities, modest, devoted, helpful, exalted in aspirations, winsome in all
her words and deeds.

Suffering from such a loss, her husband and two little daughters have had the
sympathy of numerous friends throughout Michigan and in other states.

The funeral was held on Friday, July 1st, 1887, at her husband's residence, and
was conducted by Bishop Gillespie, assisted by Rev. Mr. Greenleaf, of the
Episcopal Church.  A large company of relatives and sympathizing friends were
present to pay a loving tribute to her memory, when loving hands bore her
remains, submerged in flowers, to Oak Hill cemetery, there to rest until the
resurrection of the dead.

John F. Hinman
