MOTT-In Ransom, of old age, on the 3d of May, Mrs. Olive Mott, aged 82 years, 
2 months and 4 days.

Mrs. Mott was born in Washington County, N.Y., on the 29th day of February, 
1800.  She was married to Conrad Mott on the 24th day of Jan., 1818; made a 
profession of religion in Rochester, N.Y., in 1836, and emigrated to Michigan 
in 1844, when Ransom was an unbroken wilderness.  She united with the 
Congregational church of Ransom in 1849, retaining her membership honorably 
and acceptably until her death.  In 1854 she lost her companion, and now, 
after 28 years of weary watching, has laid her armor by and has gone to meet 
him.  They had eleven children, nine of whom are now living, the youngest 
being 40 years old and the oldest 63, and have been permitted to care for her 
during her last illness.  She being left a widow with her children to care and 
provide for, went to the ever present help in time of need and trouble and by 
her example and precepts has endeared herself not only to them, but to all who 
knew her; and her life and faith in God, were such that when death came it 
aroused in her no fear, but was welcomed as an angel to set her free.  God 
gave her many years, which she redeemed gloriously by a life of industry and 
Christian example.
